Job Description

Role and Responsibilities

• Own the development and physical implementation of critical analog, mixed‑signal, and custom digital blocks, including block‑level and full‑chip layout ownership.

• Lead layout implementation using AI‑assisted and automated workflows, applying copilot‑based assistants, agentic AI flows, and rule‑aware automation to accelerate placement, routing and optimization.

• Perform and automate layout verification activities, including DRC, LVS, Antenna, Yield, ESD, TOTEM, EM/IR and quality checks.

• Drive on‑time delivery of blocks and partition‑level layouts with predictable quality and risk prediction/mitigation plans.

• Develop and deploy AI‑enabled methodologies for Semi-automated floorplanning, parasitic estimation, layout consistency checks and best‑practice enforcement, repetitive layout task elimination via SKILL, Python, TCL or agent‑based flows.

• Demonstrate technical leadership in planning, area and cycle‑time estimation, delegation and execution.

• Guide and mentor engineers in Analog layout fundamentals, Automation‑first approach, Design‑for‑quality and design‑for‑yield practices

• Collaborate closely with Design, CAD, Verification, Reliability, and Program Management teams, clearly communicating technical risks, schedule impacts and any optimization opportunities.

• Drive continuous improvement by identifying manual bottlenecks and converting them into scalable automated flows.

Job Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS technology nodes.

• Strong expertise in Cadence Virtuoso (VLE/VXL) and Calibre DRC/LVS, with hands‑on ownership of verification closure.

• Proven experience in layout of critical analog blocks, including but not limited to Temperature sensors, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, reference generators, Charge pumps, etc

• Hands‑on experience with memory layouts, including DRAM, SRAM, CAM, OTP and understanding of array‑to‑periphery integration.

• Deep understanding of analog layout fundamentals, including Matching and symmetry, EM, latch‑up, coupling, crosstalk, IR‑drop, shielding, guard‑ring strategies, parasitic effects.

• Strong ability to interpret design intent and constraints and translate them into high‑quality, manufacturable layouts.

• Proven expertise in defining, developing, and scaling AI‑driven automation and AI‑assisted methodologies for complex layout workflows.

• Demonstrated problem‑solving skills in physical verification, debug, and layout optimization dedicated to improving yield.

Education
