Key Qualifications
- Typically requires more than 8 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design of deep sub-micron CMOS circuits.
- Experience implementing analog layouts to achieve tight matching, low noise, and low power consumption. Layouts may include analog blocks, resistors, capacitors, pad IOs, ESD structures, etc.
- High level of proficiency in custom and standard cell based floor-planning and hierarchical layout assembly.
- Must understand techniques for managing IR drop, RC delay, electromigration, self-heating and coupling capacitance.
- Must recognize failure prone circuit and layout structures, have experience with analog and DFM best practices, and proactively work with circuit designer to identify the best approach to solving problems.
- High level proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc. reports.
- Knowledge of MENTOR GRAPHICS or CADENCE layout tools.
- Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are considered a plus, but not required.
- Excellent communication skills and able to work with cross-functional teams.
