Physical Designer
About The Position
The Physical Designer is responsible for designing photomasks and other production artwork used to create parts and subassemblies manufactured using Cubic Defense’s proprietary PolyStrata® technology. The role works in a cross-functional environment alongside electrical and mechanical engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, and test groups. Assignments can be complex and require initiative and independent design work with minimal technical direction. Designs must comply with engineering and contractual requirements and meet budget and schedule constraints. The position typically works under limited supervision and direction and may help establish design policies and procedures.
Requirements
- Two years of technical training, or equivalent, in drafting and engineering.
- At least six years of design engineering experience in IC or MEMS processes.
- Proficiency with Design Workshop 2000 or a similar mask layout tool.
- Ability to use typical office automation products, including spreadsheets and word-processing programs.
- Ability to handle multiple projects and adapt to changing priorities and timelines.
- Effective written and oral communication skills.
- Ability to work for long periods at a design workstation.
- Must be eligible to obtain a clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with PCB layout using Altium Designer.
- Familiarity with CAD/CAE software such as SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, and Ansys HFSS.
Responsibilities
- Prepare 3D models for mask inclusion and manufacture by adding design-for-manufacturing features.
- Ensure PolyStrata® designs conform to documented layout procedures and design rules through design rule checking (DRC).
- Develop and maintain DRC scripts for new and updated design rules.
- Assist in developing and maintaining standard-cell and parameterized-cell libraries for PolyStrata® processes.
- Develop and maintain scripts for layout optimization and automation.
- Work with manufacturing and engineering to develop design best-practice policies.
- Provide technical direction to designers in other disciplines to support implementation of best practices.
- Attend meetings with engineering, manufacturing, and customer representatives related to design efforts.
- Lead layout review meetings.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to other layout designers.
