Job Overview:
As an Analog Mixed-Signal IC Layout Lead Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing advanced node Bi-CMOS / CMOS products. You will be responsible for managing chip top-level layout and integration along with block level layout design and ensuring successful tapeout. You will work to build state-of-the art high speed circuits minimizing layout parasitics, while applying techniques to reduce skew and crosstalk. Meeting EM/IR compliance requirements is essential. You will ensure strict adherence to DRC, LVS, ANT, and density rules. Additionally, awareness of ESD and latch-up design practices is expected to ensure robust and reliable layout implementations. You will apply a solid foundation in device physics, along with demonstrating a strong three-dimensional understanding of device layout.
You will collaborate with a dynamic, cross-functional team of analog designers and layout engineers across multiple time zones. We are looking for a highly motivated, team-oriented individual who thrives in a collaborative environment.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or advanced diploma in Electrical Engineering (EE)
Required Experience:
- 5+ years of experience in high-speed analog IC layout using Cadence Virtuoso
- Prior experience with BiCMOS layout is strongly preferred
- Proven experience handling at least one chip top-level through tapeout
- Proficiency in layout extraction and parasitic analysis for high-speed circuits
- Awareness of EMIR and antenna DRC rule-compliant layout practices
- Experience with Cadence SKILL and TCL scripting is highly recommended
We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.
