Job Description
Role and Responsibilities
Own the development and physical implementation of critical analog, mixed‑signal, and custom digital blocks, including block‑level and full‑chip layout ownership.
Lead layout implementation using AI‑assisted and automated workflows, applying copilot‑based assistants, agentic AI flows, and rule‑aware automation to accelerate placement, routing and optimization.
Perform and automate layout verification activities, including DRC, LVS, Antenna, Yield, ESD, TOTEM, EM/IR and quality checks.
Drive on‑time delivery of blocks and partition‑level layouts with predictable quality and risk prediction/mitigation plans.
Develop and deploy AI‑enabled methodologies for Semi-automated floorplanning, parasitic estimation, layout consistency checks and best‑practice enforcement, repetitive layout task elimination via SKILL, Python, TCL or agent‑based flows.
Demonstrate technical leadership in planning, area and cycle‑time estimation, delegation and execution.
Guide and mentor engineers in Analog layout fundamentals, Automation‑first approach, Design‑for‑quality and design‑for‑yield practices
Collaborate closely with Design, CAD, Verification, Reliability, and Program Management teams, clearly communicating technical risks, schedule impacts and any optimization opportunities.
Drive continuous improvement by identifying manual bottlenecks and converting them into scalable automated flows.
Job Requirements
6+ years of experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS technology nodes.
Strong expertise in Cadence Virtuoso (VLE/VXL) and Calibre DRC/LVS, with hands‑on ownership of verification closure.
Proven experience in layout of critical analog blocks, including but not limited to Temperature sensors, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, reference generators, Charge pumps, etc
Hands‑on experience with memory layouts, including DRAM, SRAM, CAM, OTP and understanding of array‑to‑periphery integration.
Deep understanding of analog layout fundamentals, including Matching and symmetry, EM, latch‑up, coupling, crosstalk, IR‑drop, shielding, guard‑ring strategies, parasitic effects.
Strong ability to interpret design intent and constraints and translate them into high‑quality, manufacturable layouts.
Proven expertise in defining, developing, and scaling AI‑driven automation and AI‑assisted methodologies for complex layout workflows.
Demonstrated problem‑solving skills in physical verification, debug, and layout optimization dedicated to improving yield.
