ESD and LUP Engineer

Broadcom•Chandler, AZ

About The Position

We are seeking a senior-level engineer to lead Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) and Latch-Up (LUP) Prevention development for complex integrated circuits on advanced process nodes. This role requires a deep understanding of device physics and the ability to develop robust protection strategies for high-voltage and high-speed applications.

Requirements

Strong fundamental understanding of device physics and semiconductor reliability.
Proven experience in hardware engineering, M.S. in engineering or related field and at least 10 years work experience.
Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for verification (e.g., Calibre PERC, Ansys PathFinder).
Excellent ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs to middle management and customers.

Responsibilities

Design and implement protection circuits for ESD across a diverse range of IC devices, including high-voltage (HV) structures and general purpose IOs.
Establish and refine ESD and LUP rules for new process nodes, focusing on high-voltage test structures and silicon validation.
Review customer specifications to determine optimal protection strategies and provide technical guidance to internal design teams and external partners.
Direct and perform test procedures in the lab to verify that protection schemes meet performance targets.
Lead the debugging and resolution of testing failures identified during production qualification or from field returns.
Coordinate with CAD/Software teams to integrate ESD/LUP flows into standardized design environments.
