We're looking for a Layout Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you'll acquire and develop competences in all layout design activities, ranging from layout entry, floor planning verification, and quality validations. The focus of our team is developing high-speed SerDes physical interface and designing all the necessary analog blocks to support it, ranging from basic blocks to complex structures that touch the boundary of chip interface.
Key Qualifications:
MSc in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent) with a background in transistor level and 4+ years of working experience in layout circuit design;
Good knowledge in deep submicron CMOS technologies;
Good judgment in selecting efficient/robust methods and techniques for layout floorplan and validation;
Design for porting (i.e., design to enable ease of moving layout across multiple foundry nodes);
Knowledge of signal integrity issues and techniques to mitigate ESD, latchup (i.e., clock/data routes, differential routing, shielding, well distance, substrate biasing);
Familiarity with custom digital layout (i.e., high-speed digital paths);
Knowledge of layout effects and design for reliability (i.e., matching, reliability, proximity effects, EM, IR, etc.);
Ability to build productive internal/external working relationships. Networks with senior internal and external personnel in own area of expertise;
Familiarity with UNIX operating systems and IC design tools;
Good written and verbal English language skills.
Required Experience:
Familiarity with layout of analog and mixed signal CMOS circuits;
Contribution to the development of complex layout integrated circuits;
Knowledgeable about signal integrity (i.e., clock/data routes, differential routing, shielding);
Implementation of ESD design constraints, latch-up risk mitigation;
Layout design for reliability (i.e., EM, IR, etc.);
Design to optimize for parasitic layout effects (i.e., matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
Preferred Experience:
Knowledge of Synopsys EDA tools;
Familiarity with Unix and scripting languages (TCL, Python);
