An opening exists for Tech Staff/Sr. Staff IO Design Engineer with an interest in developing the next generation of storage and memory controller SoC products. This will involve taking a design from initial concept through to production. Throughout you will work beside experienced engineers and be exposed to Microchip’s Best-In-Class engineering practices. Working side-by-side with some of the brightest minds and most innovative people in the industry, you won't just fill a position, you will be given an opportunity to work on a team where your contributions matter. Microchip fosters continuous learning in a challenging and rewarding environment. If this sounds like the kind of environment you'd like to participate in, we'd like to hear from you!

As a Staff/Sr.Staff Design Engineer, your job will entail the following:

• Design planning of pad rings and package substrates, bump pattern construction.
• Dynamically define and optimize pad ring connectivity.
• Work with CFTs (Cross-Functional Team) on the deliverables (DEF, Verilog netlist etc.,)
• Interface with and support Architect, PD, PE, technology development and foundries teams.
• Support JTAG TAP controller integration and implementation across SoC designs, ensuring IEEE 1149.1 compliance and proper JTAG signal connectivity in collaboration with the DFT team.
• Collaborate with CFTs on TAP controller operation, scan-enable path handling, and post-silicon debug requirements.
• Support Verification, Emulation, ASIC lab validation including lab debug and providing logic modifications and workarounds.

• B.S or M.S degree in electrical engineering with 12+ years related experience.
• Hands‑on experience with pad ring planning, IO cell placement, and bump map/pattern definition for advanced SoC designs.
• Knowledge of IO library cells, IO standards, and PHY-level IO interfaces (SerDes, DDR, PCIe, CXL).
• Experience with IO planning and implementation EDA tools (e.g., Orbit IO, ISP or equivalent); specific tool experience is valuable but not mandatory.
• Experience generating and validating IO connectivity deliverables (pad ring DEF, IO netlist, bump assignment) for physical design hand‑off).
• Experience with Verilog/System Verilog is required.
• Basic to intermediate knowledge of JTAG/Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1) architecture and TAP controller operation.
• Hands‑on experience with DFT methodologies is a plus and considered equivalent familiarity.
• Familiarity with JTAG-based post‑silicon debug flows and bring‑up strategies for SoC IO validation.
• Experience with boundary scan cell behavior and test access port (TAP) signal verification is a plus.
• Scripting experience or knowledge is a plus.
• Excellent analytical, communication (written and verbal), and documentation skills.
