Staff Analog/Mixed-Signal Layout Engineer

Role

As a Staff A&MS Layout Engineer you will collaborate in the development of advanced analog integrated circuit designs using best-in-class Synopsys suite of tools.  You will be working with local and global teams in developing layout for complex mixed-signal designs in the latest technology nodes.  In your role you will be responsible for taking on top-level block ownership with technical expertise and skills.  There will also be opportunities to act as analog layout technical lead where you will be coordinating with other team members in designing and reviewing layout designs.
As a member of our Solutions IP Design Group you will be developing IP in various technology nodes and foundries for different customers in a fast paced and exciting design environment.

Requirements

• In depth familiarity with layout of analog and mixed signal CMOS circuits
• Experience in development of SERDES subcircuit layout (ie. RX, TX, PLL, etc…)
• Experience in the following layout design techniques:
  
  • Optimization for signal integrity (ie. clock/data routes, differential routing, shielding)
  • Implementation of ESD design constraints, latch-up risk mitigation
  • Familiarity with custom digital layout (logic cell layout and associated logic path routing)
  • Layout design for reliability (ie. EM, IR, etc…)
  • Design to optimize for parasitic layout effects (ie. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc…)
  • Familiarity in design for porting techniques
• Full custom analog layout design tool: Custom Compiler (or equivalent)
• Verification tools: ICV, Star-RCXT, PERC (or equivalent)
• Experience in working with Jira/Atlassian (or other such) tools
• Strong working knowledge of MS Office Suite of applications
• Exposure to scripting (ie. TCL, PERL, etc…)
