Layout Design, Sr Engineer

In this role 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.

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.

• 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…)

Typically requires an MSEE or BSEE with a minimum of 2 years of related experience.

Works cooperatively with team to debug and resolve a wide range of issues in creative ways. Has an understanding of fabrication flows and layout design flows and techniques.

Can contribute to moderately complex design tasks in collaboration with analog circuit design and ASIC digital design teams.

Can help in the preparation and presentation of technical layout review design material for internal audiences. Team contributor for ongoing flow development and improvements.
