About the role
L&T Semiconductor Technologies (LTSCT) works on CMOS, FinFET and BCD process technologies, delivering Analog/RF/Power IP, SoC and system-level solutions across its project portfolio. As an ESD Expert/Leader, the role is responsible for architecting, designing and delivering ESD solutions end to end, including defining ESD methodology, designing protection devices and test structures, and collaborating with foundries. The person will also drive ESD testing, verification and silicon debug with customers, marketing and systems teams, set up best-in-class methodologies, and mentor junior engineers.
What you will do
- End to end responsible for architecture, feasibility and modelling of ESD solutions needed for IP and SOC.
- Defining ESD Methodology: Establishing the ESD protection strategy for all silicon developed, including specifying chip and IP level ESD requirements1.
- Designing ESD Protection Devices: Creating and integrating ESD protection circuits and devices to meet design requirements. This includes designing diodes, grounded gate n-channel MOSFETs, and silicon-controlled rectifiers2.
- Developing Test Structures: Designing test structures to characterize silicon for ESD and latch-up properties, ensuring the robustness of the ICs against ESD events1.
- Collaborating with Foundries: Working closely with semiconductor foundries to develop ESD libraries and design rules based on silicon characterization data1.
- Maintaining ESD Device Libraries: Keeping an updated library of ESD devices to support internal and external design teams1.
- Conducting ESD Testing and Verification: Generating or reviewing ESD testing plans and ensuring that ICs meet industry standards such as the Human Body Model (HBM) and Charged Device Model (CDM)2.
- Debugging and Problem-Solving: Leading ESD-related debug activities to identify and resolve issues during the design and manufacturing process1.
- Documentation and Reporting: Maintaining detailed records of ESD control measures, test results, and compliance with ESD standards2.
- Drive culture of innovation to ensure the IP/IC we are doing are best in class benchmarking with competition.
- Guiding and mentoring the young engineers to develop skills and to acquire critical design competencies.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 5-15 years of deep and hands on experience on creating ESD solutions.
- Practical experience with ESD protection design, testing, and characterization is crucial.
- Deep understanding of transistor behaviour and characteristics.
- Strong analytical, mathematical and intuitive understanding of device physics and circuit design and arriving at the optimized solution taking into considerations all contrasting constraints.
- Strong Knowledge of ESD testing models such as Human Body Model (HBM), Charged Device Model (CDM), Machine Model (MM), and IEC-61000-4-2
- Proficiency with EDA tools like Virtuoso, Calibre, and Allegro and tools like PERC and Pathfinder
- Expertise in feasibility analysis with different modelling techniques for quick evaluation of the solution.
- Well verse with ESD Standard like IEC 61000-4-2 & ISO 10605
- Implementing design changes to improve ESD robustness, such as adding protection components or redesigning PCB layouts.
- Collaborating with design engineers to integrate ESD protection early in the design process.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Proactive, collaborative, and creative approach to innovation, technical development and consensus facilitation to influence optimal project results.
- Strong team player.
- Staying updated with the latest ESD protection techniques, standards, and tools.
- Participating in training and certification programs related to ESD protection.
- Self-Motivated; Team player; Fast Learner; Analytical
- Having patents on names and papers in IEEE journals will be greatly appreciated
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
- Bachelor’s/Masters/PhD degree in engineering in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with excellent academic records.
