Ph3Block-level DTCO RD team leader /h3h3What you will do /h3pAs an RD team leader, you will work on mentoring your team members, help in their professional development and work towards a high job satisfaction. Further cultivating the already strong team spirit and extending best practices that can be used by everyone is a very important part of this role. You will also be responsible for the resource planning of the team and make sure that team commitments to various research projects are feasible and within the research interests of the team. /ppAs a Researcher, you will evaluate through physical design experiments the impact of various technology options (device, standard cell architecture, back-end of line, etc.) on the power, performance, and area of different SoCs (or submodules thereof). Throughout the physical design experiments, you analyse the impact of said technology options to circuit-level aspects of the designs (e.g., critical paths, clock trees, power grids, etc.). You contribute to the development of automated flows with which the physical design experiments are conducted. You go beyond the current capabilities of the tools and work together with EDA partners to get tools ready for the future nodes, e.g., to enable novel power grid solutions, or 3D stacked designs etc. Furthermore, you interact with universities on development of new micro-architecture concepts that leverage novel technology capabilities. /ph3What we do for you /h3pWe offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium or in Cambridge, UK. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow. /ppWe are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. /ppWe are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits. /ph3Who you are /h3ulliYou have a PhD in Electronics or Electrical Engineering, or relevant field, or a M.Sc. with at least 3 years of relevant industrial experience in physical design. /liliYou have an excellent understanding of digital physical implementation and advanced CMOS technologies. /liliYou are a proficient user of EDA tools (Cadence and/or Synopsys). /liliYou are detail-oriented but are also comfortable in critical thinking and making decisions to navigate the changing RD demands. /liliYou deeply care about efficient and creative team culture. /liliYou are a capable coder that utilizes the power of versioning and documentation. /liliYou are a strong team player and a good communicator. Sharing the progress of tasks, seeking feedback from your colleagues, and acting as a soundboard, is important to you. /liliPrevious team leading experience is a plus. /li /ulpFor imec UK: this position is open only to candidates who already hold a valid UK residence permit or work authorization. We are currently not able to provide UK visa sponsorship. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
