• Creating die and BGA symbols from scratch or from spreadsheet inputs
• Setting up design environment, including tech files, stack ups, and constraints
• Setting up Constraint Manager from scratch for complex packages (diff pair creaton, multiple power supplies, net and zone specific constraints.
• Routing signals and matching length both manually and using tool features
• Design file management and documentation from initiation to final signoff
• Generation of POD
• Solid knowledge of top package suppliers design rules and basic manufacturing practices
• Desired experience
• Experience with Cadence Orbit I/O
• 2.5D interposer design layout experience using Cadence SiP
• Experience with Virtuoso and/or Innovus for 2.5D interposer design
