Job description

As a design-implementation intern / Co-op, you will be responsible for the physical layout and performance of chip designs within IBM's microelectronics technologies. Integration engineers use synthesized logic to floorplan chips within a certain area, given many constraints, including: logical function, placement restrictions, timing results, clock design, noise considerations, and package footprint. The physical layout of chips involves considerable challenges in the form of wiring congestion, multiple wire sizes and layers, and technology ground rules. Timing engineers analyze physical designs for performance and compliance to the design specification. They will have an understanding of the process corners in various silicon technologies, extract physical structures for noise analysis, and work closely with the integrators to resolve timing issues and "close timing" for a particular core frequency for the chip tapeout.

Required High School Diploma/GED Basic knowledge in Perform Timing Analysis Basic knowledge in Perform Physical Design Basic knowledge in Apply Knowledge of Computer Engineering English: Fluent
