Overview
We are looking for a PDN expert to accelerate development of advanced power distribution solutions for next-generation 2.5D and 3
DIC products. This role is strategically critical as customer demand for higher performance continues to rise and power density trends exceed 4 W/mm². The engineer will identify bottlenecks in current offerings, define next-generation design flows, and partner with R&D, packaging, and EDA vendors to deliver robust solutions that support TSMC's HPC roadmap.
This position requires both hands-on technical expertise and cross-functional leadership to bring new design methodologies from concept to reference flow, enabling customer success.
Responsibilities:
* Review and analyze current PDN reference flows and test vehicles; identify weaknesses and propose design improvements.
* Develop and validate PDN topologies and voltage regulator integration strategies for advanced 3
DIC/HPC products.
* Collaborate with R&D, advanced packaging, and decoupling capacitance teams to ensure new solutions are manufacturable and scalable.
* Work closely with EDA vendors (Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys) to enable and certify PDN design and analysis flows.
* Provide end-to-end ownership of PDN design flow development and reference methodologies for internal and external customers.
* Mentor junior engineers on PDN concepts and high-power design practices.
Required Skills:
* Master's/PhD in Electrical Engineering with at least 15 years of working experience with specialization in power distribution networks, voltage regulators, or electromagnetics.
* Proven experience designing PDNs for high-power systems (≥42 W/mm²).
* Familiarity with best PDN payout theory and practices, voltage regulator design, in-package integration, and decoupling capacitor technologies, and usage.
* Proficiency with EDA tools and interfacing languages (Tcl, Python):
Cadence:
Allegro, Virtuoso, Sigrity, Voltus;
Ansys: HFSS, Red Hawk.
* Strong problem-solving ability with capacity to investigate bottlenecks and propose actionable solutions.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to work across technical and business teams.
Preferred
Skills:
* Research or patents in PDN layout, voltage regulators, inductor technologies, or decoupling capacitance improvements.
* Experience with EDA flow development or building analysis tools.
* Programming skills (C/C++, Python, TCL, SKILL, Perl) for automation and data exchange.
* Knowledge of distributed voltage regulator coordination techniques (aka ganging) for large PDN designs.
Location
Primary location:
San Jose, CA or Hsin Chu, Taiwan.
Relocation support and visa sponsorship may be considered for exceptional candidates.
