Job description

As an EDA Development Engineer, you will be responsible and cooperate with the engineering team in the design, development and maintenance of a Cadence PDK for FLEEPtech’s PrintIC, as well as cooperate in device manufacturing and characterization for compact model optimization and formalization of the DRM. In addition, the candidate will be responsible for the implementation of dedicated software tools for the automated extraction of the electrical and statistical parameters of the electronic devices. FLEEPtech offers a competitive salary and benefits based on experience with possible support for relocation.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and maintain a PDK for established commercial EDA software (e.g. Cadence)
• Develop, implement and maintain software programmes or scripts for data processing and parameters extraction
• Perform electrical measurements of devices for compact/SPICE model validation and optimization
• Support the engineering team in the definition of the DRM through tailored experiments and characterization routines
• Optimize compact models for PrintIC electronic devices, in particular organic transistors
• Work closely with process engineers and electronic designers
• Provide support to external customers and users of the PDK
