Execute full-custom analog/mixed-signal layout for key blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os) from schematics to manufacturable layouts.
Develop optimized block and top-level floorplans, placement, and routing that balance area, parasitics, matching, congestion, and integration into our D2D PHY.
Apply best-known layout practices and optimize parasitics (R/C), coupling, IR drop, and electromigration to meet precision, noise, timing, and power goals while closing DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, and Antenna.
Support post-layout extraction and simulation and, as a bonus, contribute layout methodology and automation/scripts (Python, Tcl, SKILL, etc.) to improve team-wide quality and productivity.
Requirements
An experienced analog/mixed-signal IC layout engineer with strong full-custom layout background on high-speed blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os).
Proficient with Synopsys Custom Compiler or Cadence Virtuoso for custom layout, and Synopsys ICV or Siemens Calibre for physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, Antenna).
Deep experience in CMOS/FinFET nodes (ideally TSMC or Samsung 12nm–2nm) with delivered silicon and a strong grasp of EM/IR, ESD, and latch-up in mixed-signal layouts.
Detail-oriented and organized, able to own complex blocks independently and collaborate effectively with circuit designers; typically hold a BSEE (or equivalent experience) with ~10+ years in analog/mixed-signal layout.
