Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Custom Analog Layout Execution
Education
Custom Analog Layout Execution
- Perform full‑custom analog layout for critical circuit blocks, including:
- Analog Front Ends (AFEs)
- ADCs and DACs
- PLLs and clocking circuits
- Voltage regulators and references
- Analog filters and bias circuits
- Translate schematics into high‑quality, silicon‑proven layouts in advanced nodes.
- Apply best‑in‑class techniques for:
- Matching and symmetry
- Parasitic control
- Noise isolation and substrate coupling mitigation
-
EM/IR and reliability robustness
- Run and debug DRC, LVS, ERC, and reliability checks.
- Work with designers to close LVS and performance issues.
- Support PEX extraction and simulation correlation.
-
Ensure layouts meet foundry design rules and sign‑off requirements.
- Partner closely with analog circuit designers, CAD, and methodology teams.
- Participate in layout and design reviews.
- Support silicon bring‑up, debug, and yield improvement as needed.
-
Contribute to layout guidelines, documentation, and best practices.
Education
-
BSEE or equivalent in Electrical / Electronics Engineering (preferred).
- 6–10 years of hands‑on experience in custom analog / mixed‑signal layout.
- Proven experience working in 28nm, 22nm, and/or 16nm CMOS process technologies.
-
Demonstrated experience laying out complex analog IP blocks (AFE, ADC, DAC, PLL, regulators).
- Strong proficiency with:
- Cadence Virtuoso Layout Suite
- Calibre (DRC, LVS, PEX)
- Solid understanding of:
- Foundry design rules
- Device matching and layout‑dependent effects
- Parasitics, coupling, and noise mitigation
- Reliability (EM, IR, ESD awareness)
-
Familiarity with advanced-node layout challenges is required.
- Experience in automotive or high‑reliability semiconductor products.
- Familiarity with low‑noise, high‑speed analog layouts.
- Ability to mentor junior layout engineers.
-
Exposure to ISO / automotive quality flows is a plus.
