Description
We are seeking a Senior Analog & Mixed-Signal Layout Engineer to develop high-quality layouts for complex analog and mixed-signal circuits. You will work closely with circuit designers and project managers to deliver production-ready layouts that meet performance, area, reliability, and schedule requirements.
Responsibilities
Independently execute layout design for complex analog and mixed-signal blocks, from initial floorplanning through final physical verification.
Collaborate with circuit designers to understand circuit requirements and translate them into effective layout implementations.
Develop block-level floorplans and apply layout techniques to optimize matching, parasitics, noise isolation, and area.
Perform physical verification, including DRC and LVS, and resolve layout-related issues.
Ensure layouts meet project specifications, foundry requirements, and internal design guidelines.
Participate in layout reviews and prepare completed layouts for integration and production release.
Coordinate with project teams to manage priorities, communicate progress, and meet delivery schedules.
Contribute to improvements in layout methodology, tools, and best practices.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and 8+ years of relevant industry experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Strong experience in analog and mixed-signal layout for deep-submicron CMOS technologies, including recent hands-on experience with advanced process nodes.
Proficiency with industry-standard layout and physical verification tools, including Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre DRC/LVS.
Strong understanding of analog layout principles, including device matching, parasitic effects, shielding, isolation, and reliability considerations.
Demonstrated ability to independently complete complex layout blocks from floorplanning through physical verification.
Ability to manage multiple assignments and competing priorities while maintaining attention to detail.
Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on production layout experience with memory-related circuits, such as sense amplifiers, charge pumps, read/write assist circuits, PVT trackers, and power-gating circuits.
Familiarity with memory controllers or memory interfaces.
Experience with emerging non-volatile memory technologies.
