What You'll Be Doing

Designing and implementing complex analog and mixed-signal CMOS circuit layouts, with a focus on high-speed SerDes physical interfaces. Collaborating with circuit designers to translate schematics into robust, manufacturable layouts that meet performance, power, and area requirements. Performing floor planning, layout entry, and comprehensive verification to ensure design quality and compliance with foundry rules. Applying advanced techniques to mitigate signal integrity issues, ESD, and latch-up risks, including differential routing, shielding, and substrate biasing. Optimizing layouts for reliability, matching, and minimizing parasitic effects such as EM and IR drop. Supporting design porting activities to enable seamless migration of layouts across multiple foundry nodes and technology platforms. Documenting layout methodologies, best practices, and validation results to support knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

What You'll Need

Bachelor or advanced degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent) with a solid background in transistor-level design. 5+ years of experience in analog and mixed-signal CMOS layout design, including complex integrated circuits. Expertise in deep submicron CMOS technologies and layout effects (matching, reliability, proximity, EM, IR, etc.). Proficiency in layout floor planning, verification, and quality validation using industry-standard EDA tools. Strong knowledge of signal integrity, ESD, and latch-up mitigation techniques. Familiarity with UNIX operating systems and scripting languages (TCL, Python) is a plus. Experience with Synopsys EDA tools is highly desirable.

Who You Are

Detail-oriented and quality-focused, with a commitment to delivering robust and reliable designs. Excellent communicator, able to articulate technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences. Collaborative team player who builds productive relationships and networks effectively. Self-motivated, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment. Strong problem-solving skills and critical judgment, with a proactive approach to overcoming challenges. Adaptable and eager to learn new technologies and methodologies.

The Impact You Will Have

Accelerate the development of cutting-edge silicon IP, enabling faster integration of advanced capabilities into SoCs.
