In your response, please indicate that your information comes from this
posting. In all programming positions, experience with C and UNIX is
helpful.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER, BLOCK COMPILERS: This person will be fully responsible
for all software required to implement a block compiler for one or more
blocks. The engineer will work closely with one to three other engineers
who are responsible for other aspects of the block. A good applicant
would have experience with design automation software, compilers,
simulators, and electronic hardware design. Since a silicon compiler is
an "expert" system which through software synthesizes IC Layouts and
Simulation models, and since such software must contain the encapsulated
expertise of the industry's best IC Designers, the IDEAL applicant would
be an astute, experienced logic designer with actual IC Design experience,
who is equally good at designing and implementing PRODUCTION software.
Five years of experience is desired. Applicants with two or more years of
experience will be considered if they have outstanding qualifications.
B.S. degree or better is required.
SYSTEM/LOGIC DESIGNER, CUSTOM CHIPS: The custom chip design group has an
opening for an experienced system/logic designer to work on a CPU design
project. Previous chip design background is not a requirement; our
state-of-the-art design tools take care of the low level MOS design
issues. However, substantial expertise in system-level logic design is a
must. This person should be self-motivated and able to work on a one-man
project. We are looking for someone with latent management capabilities
for future growth within the company.
CMOS CIRCUIT DESIGN ENGINEER: The candidate will be designing high
performance, high density, state of art CMOS logic and memory circuits for
a broad spectrum of applications. Familiar with CMOS specific-design
issues such as latch-up problem and prevention, two metal wiring system,
and sensitivities of circuit behavior due to different well structures, is
essential. Emphasis is placed at functional block and module design in
the context of silicon compilation. The candidate should be thoroughly
familiar with IC design and verification process, have insight into the
algorithmic generation of layouts and models, understand the goals of
silicon compilation, and able to interact with mask designers and
programmers effectively. Minimum of 3 years of experience is required.
CMOS MASK DESIGNER/CONTRACTOR: A number of positions are available for
senior mask designer/contractor to help circuit design engineers perform
layout entry. The candidate should have a BS degree in related field
and a minimum of five years of experience. For mask design contractor,
the length of contract and work hours will be negotiated on an individual
basis.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE CLERK: Immediate opening for energetic Accounts Payable
Clerk in and expanding finance department. Responsibilities include
invoice processing, tracking cash receipts and disbursements, and
month-end journal entry preparation. The ideal candidate would have one
or more years of experience and a general understanding of a corporate
reporting structure. Excellent salary and benefits package. Direct
inquiries to Ed Abate at the above address (usenet: sci!eda).
SENIOR SIMULATION SOFTWARE ENGINEER: to work on a state of the art
functional simulator. Must have 5-7 years experience or advanced degree,
with 3-4 years experience in simulation software. Must be able to work on
all aspects of a simulator from the front end to the engine. System
design experience or fault simulation experience desirable.
APPLICATIONS ENGINEER: Technical position with significant amount of
customer contact. Help users work with CAD tools for custom chip design;
some travel required. Write App notes explaining new product features.
BSEE or CS or equivalent required; 4 years experience preferred.
TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS CONSULTANT: The job requires a high degree of
customer interface solving, and consulting, on the best solutions to
system design problems. Systems may range from complex digital computer
architectures, to telephony applications to electronic military subsystems
with some concentration in digital signal processing. The position
requires that the individual become an expert user of SCI's Silicon
Development System, Genesil. Writing user oriented applications notes
describing unique uses and applications of Genesil will be required.
BSEE/MSEE or CS or equivalent is required; 10 years system design/ IC
design experience preferred. Direct inquiries to Denny Sabo at the above
address (usenet: sci!denny).
