Description
As a member of the Analog Layout team you will be responsible to deliver fully-verified, clean layout, this includes the following: - Designing complex layout for mixed signal, and analog circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies. - Reviewing and analyzing floorplans and complex circuits with circuit designers. - Running complete set of design verification tools available on AMS blocks. - Working with circuit design team to plan/schedule work and negotiate any necessary layout tradeoffs as needed. - Interpreting LVS, DRC and ERC reports to find the fastest way to complete layout. - Exceeding engineering specifications and expectations by working closely with the circuit design team. - Utilizing advanced CAD tools and mask design knowledge to deliver correct and robust layout that meet stringent matching performance, area and power requirements.
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.
Education & Experience
BS degree in technical discipline with minimum 3 years of relevant experience.
