Principal Design Engineer

Team Overview:

Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) applications rely on item-level data enabled by RAIN RFID technology. Impinj, the world’s #1 provider of RAIN RFID products and solutions, is expanding our Layout Design Engineering group, an integral part of the Silicon Engineering department. This will be a high visibility role and will be key in the success of the department and company.

The principal layout designer will work with circuit design team members to convert block / IP schematics into full custom layouts of analog, digital and mixed-signal designs and will lead the full chip floorplan development, integration, and tape-in for industry leading RFID endpoint IC and RFID Reader IC products.

What will you do:

• Leverage your experience with Tops Down Bottoms Up (TDBU) floorplan methodology to complete on-schedule layout development and tape-in of power efficient ICs.
• Collaborate with circuit designers and block level layout designers to create an initial tops down IC floorplan with estimated block sizes / block pin rings, estimated inter-block routes and full chip channels.
• Work closely with the circuit design team on power supply strategy, and signals...
