Your Role and Responsibilities

While computing veers towards cognitive, cloud, mobile, social, and security, the lab has significantly contributed to not just new products focused in these areas, but has also ushered in new development models such as Agile, Design Thinking and DevOps. The engineer hired will be working on Analog and IO high speed layouts for our projects working directly with designers from US/Germany.
Responsibilities:
This role does design and layout of complex VLSI (very large scale integration) circuits using graphic editing tools in Analog domain. A major portion of the job is in creation of new physical design data from concepts, partial schematics or a working knowledge of overall requirements. Responsibilities include checking the design integrity with respect to semiconductor ground rules and the logical function of the circuit. Symbolic circuit data (schematics) are converted to physical shapes which represent the semiconductor process. The role ranges from manual shapes and checking tool manipulations to extended team coordination and methodology creation. The employee guides functional objectives or technologies.
Advise other professionals. Effectively utilize group dynamics. Negotiate to define approaches and goals. Able to quickly ramp up on the layout flow
Problem Solving:

Required Technical and Professional Expertise

Hands on work on custom layout for analog blocks like High Speed SerDes and General purpose IO designs with Cadence Virtuoso on latest technologies like 5nm and below and also take leadership roles in delivery of IPs 2. Work on Floor planning, power design, signal routing strategy, EMIR awareness and parasitic optimisations
Understand and apply analog Layout techniques to ensure the design meets performance with minimum possible area and good yield.
Participate in building and enhancing layout flow for faster, higher quality design process.
Checking physical verifications like DRC/LVS/ERC/ANT/DFM and other IBM internal checks
Collaborate with Circuit Designers to solve challenging problems
Writing SKILL scripts to automate repetitive tasks
Work with Place and Route engineer to integrate custom macros into top level.
Able to perform design reviews across global team
Work closely with required global teams to ensure the success of the whole product. 11. Leadership in delivery of macros we plan to own from India
Job requirements:
Experience in doing layouts for analog blocks like SerDes, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, PLLs, BGAP & amplifiers etc.
Experience in designing layouts for high-speed circuits is a plus.
Layout experience in the following technology nodes: 3nm, 5nm and 7nm FinFET.
Good team worker with multi-discipline, multi-cultural and multi-site environments
Strong fundamental knowledge in semiconductor device physics, layout principles, IC reliability and failure mechanisms
Good problem-solving skills are essential where problems are analysed upfront, identifying gaps, and providing optimum solutions
Knowledge in Skill/perl/tcl/Python scripting is a plus.
