Central Singapore Ambiq Micro Full time

**Company Overview**:
Ambiq has been on a singular mission since 2010 to put intelligence everywhere by creating the most energy-efficient semiconductor solutions for IoT endpoint devices. Using the revolutionary Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) Platform, Ambiq’s record-breaking ultra-low power solutions, including MCU and SoCs, have helped global device makers deliver more than 150 million products with advanced features, enhanced performance, and extended battery life.
With a leading market share in wearables at the speed of shipping 1 million units per month, Ambiq is now expanding its impact on novel endpoint products such as hearables, smart home automation, industrial IoT preventive monitoring, and more.

**Scope**
The Advanced Development PD Lead (ADPDL)** **will plan and lead physical design activities for Ambiq’s next-generation technology development. This will include both methodology development and day-to-day management of tape-outs driven by Ambiq’s Advanced Development team. The ADPDL will work closely with other members of the Advanced Development team and the broader engineering community at Ambiq to develop new ultra-low power methodologies, test them out, and then deploy them in sub-threshold and near-threshold test chips at 12nm and beyond. The ADPDL will also work closely with the Engineering team to transition new methodologies to support production chip development.
**Specific Responsibilities**
- Investigate, plan, and test new physical design methodologies to enable sub-threshold and near-threshold circuits and other related low power techniques (e.g., adaptive body biasing, customized standard cells, specialized memory structures, etc.).**:

- Validate and refine new techniques as part of a team that is building complex test chips in advanced nodes (e.g., 12nm and beyond).
- Work with product development teams (Engineering team and Architecture and Product Planning team) to rapidly deploy newly developed techniques in products.
- Plan and lead physical design activities for test chips owned by the Advanced Development team. As part of this effort, lead a small group of internal and contract resources.
- Maintain a relationship with and collaborate with 3rd party CAD tool vendors during the development of new methodologies.

**Education and Experience**:

- 10 years of experience serving as technical lead or manager for physical design in advanced SoCs.
- A master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field is required.
- Experience serving as physical design lead in 16nm and beyond is required.
- Experience building complex SoCs with a mix of processors, memories, and high-speed interfaces is required.
- Experience running advanced timing flows (e.g., SOCV) and power-driven PD flows (e.g., multi-domain designs with a UPF/CPF flow) is required.
- Experience developing new timing flows, custom standard cells, and power-driven PD flows is highly desirable.
- Experience managing a small group of engineers is highly desirable.
- Experience developing new technologies and transitioning those technologies to production is highly desirable.
