Your Team, Your Impact

What You Can Expect

• Design and optimize analog mixed-signal layouts such as high-speed ADCs, PLLs, bandgap voltage references, LDOs, high-speed I/O circuits, general I/Os, and ESD structures in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence or Synopsys tools

• Collaborate closely with circuit designers and other teams to meet project specifications and timelines

• Responsible for floor planning, custom layout, and verifying compliance with design rules and schematics, including DRC, LVS, ANT, LUP, ESD, and PERC

• Maintain detailed documentation of layout methodologies, design decisions, and verification results

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields with 3-5+ years of relevant professional experience. 

• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields with 2-3+ years of experience is preferred. 

• Experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design for deep sub-micron CMOS circuits. 

• Familiarity with advanced process technologies and FinFET is a plus. 

• Proficient in block level floor planning and capable of driving the project through tape-out. Proficiency in chip level floor planning a plus.

• Experience implementing analog layouts to achieve tight matching, low noise, and low power consumption. Layouts may include analog blocks, such as high-speed digital, high-speed ADCs, PLLs, bandgap voltage references, LDOs, I/O circuits, general I/Os, and ESD structures. 

• Understanding techniques to manage IR drop, RC delay, electro-migration, self-heating, and crosstalk

• Experience with full chip layout and verification

• Proficiency with CAD tools such as Cadence "Virtuoso," Mentor Graphics "Calibre," or Synopsys "Custom Compiler."

• Strong proficiency in interpreting DRC, ERC, LVS, LUP, and PERC reports

• Ability to work independently with strong analytical skills, creative thinking, and self-motivation

• Ability to work across teams

• Strong communication skills
