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.
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. • 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.
