• Minimum degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
• 10+ years’ experience in IC layout design.
• Excellent practical knowledge of analog and mixed-signal layout techniques and experience with Cadence Layout tools (Virtuoso) and Mentor Graphics verification systems (Calibre).
• Strong aptitude for SKILL programming and other workflow enhancement scripting/languages to advance layout productivity to the extent that the design cycle time is reduced while maintaining analog design performance.
• Prefer experience in fine-line process technology nodes.
• Comfortable working independently as well as in multi-site teams.
• Ability to complete tasks with minimum supervision and be comfortable working directly with circuit design engineers.
• Expertise in layout/physical design of various circuit types, i.e., ADCs, DACs, LDOs, PLLs, VCOs, amplifiers, power switches, etc.
• Proficient in common layout circuit practices, such as matching techniques, ESD/Latchup mitigation techniques, circuit parasitic extraction and reduction, VXL compliance, etc.
• Self-driven, with strong interpersonal, communication & teamwork skills.

Responsibilities:

• Block floorplan, subsystem & chip level development.
• Physical verification (LVS, DRC, Density, Extraction, EM).
• Strong collaboration with Analog Designers to solve challenging problems.
• Develop a schedule and monitor progress.
• Develop and continuously improve layout practices and procedures and share knowledge with the community.
