Xenergic AB is a high-tech semiconductor company providing high-speed, low-power memory solutions in advanced technology nodes. These memories are targeted for market segment ranging from IoT and mobile applications to high-end servers. We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Digital Back-End Designer with a proven track record in digital circuit design to join our team to contribute to validating the next generation of embedded memory solutions. As a Senior Digital Designer at Xenergic, you will handle integrating memory blocks into designs, carefully debugging and validating front-end and back-end memory views, and leading the development and approval of test designs for fabrication in various technology nodes.

The key responsibilities in this position:

As a Digital ASIC Designer specializing in Physical Design (PnR) and Back-End Design, you will be responsible for:

• Leading and participating in the physical design and implementation of digital ASICs.
• Utilizing industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis, floor planning, place and route (PnR).
• Implementing power grid, clock tree synthesis, and signal integrity optimization.
• Conducting static timing analysis (STA) to meet timing closure requirements.
• Collaborating with RTL designers and SRAM developers to ensure design goals are met.
• Troubleshooting and resolving physical design-related issues.
• Detecting and helping to debug the issues seen in the integration flow related to the memory views

Required Skills:

To be successful in this role, candidates should possess the following qualifications and skills:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Fluency in English (Swedish not required)
• Proven experience in ASIC physical design and back-end design (5yrs+), including deep submicron technologies (nm).
• Proficiency in EDA tools such as Cadence (preferred), Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics for PnR.
• Strong knowledge of clock tree synthesis, power grid design, and signal integrity analysis.
• Familiarity with scripting languages like TCL, or Python for automation.
• Solid understanding of ASIC design principles and methodologies.
• Experience with static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure techniques.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and teamwork abilities.

Preferred Qualifications (Not Mandatory):

While not required, the following qualifications and experiences would be considered a plus:

• Experience with advanced technology nodes (22nm, 16nm, 5nm, or below).
• Expertise with Cadence design flow for PnR, timing closure and signing off the test designs.
• Knowledge of DFT (Design for Test) principles.
