• Own layout execution for critical IP, subsystems, and test-chip developments.
• Drive high-quality layout implementation for:
  • Data converters (ADCs/DACs)
  • Power management circuits (LDOs, references, regulators)
  • Amplifiers and signal chain circuits
  • PLLs and clock-generation circuits
  • High-voltage and mixed-voltage designs
• Ensure designs meet performance, matching, reliability, ESD, latch-up, and manufacturability requirements.
• Drive successful DRC, LVS, ERC, EMIR and parasitic extraction closure.

Design Automation & Productivity

• Develop and deploy automation solutions that improve layout productivity and design quality.
• Identify repetitive engineering tasks and implement scalable solutions.
• Support advanced methodologies including:
  • Automated layout generation
  • Layout verification automation
  • IP qualification workflows
  • Reusable analog building blocks
  • AI-assisted design and productivity initiatives
• Partner with CAD and EDA teams to improve design flows and tool integration.

IP Development & Reuse

• Contribute to the development of reusable Platform IP across multiple technology nodes.
• Support IP migration, qualification, and reuse activities.
• Promote best practices for containerized IP, version control, and design traceability.
• Assist in defining scalable methodologies that enable reuse across business units and geographical teams.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Provide technical guidance to layout engineers across the organization.
• Perform layout reviews and design audits.
• Mentor junior and mid-level layout engineers.
• Contribute to engineering standards, training material, and best-practice documentation.
• Act as a recognized subject matter expert in one or more technical domains.

Required Qualifications

• BS, MS, or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related discipline.
• 8+ years of analog or mixed-signal IC layout experience.
• Proven experience delivering silicon in advanced and mature process technologies.
• Expert knowledge of:
  • Cadence Virtuoso
  • Layout XL / VXL methodologies
  • Calibre DRC, LVS, ERC and extraction flows
• Deep understanding of:
  • Device matching
  • Parasitic effects
  • Shielding and isolation techniques
  • Reliability and ESD considerations
  • Power distribution and substrate management
• Scripting and automation experience using one or more of:
  • SKILL
  • Python
  • Shell/Bash
  • Tcl

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing engineering automation deployed to multiple users.
• Experience with analog layout generators and parameterized cell development.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering workflows.
• Experience supporting IP libraries shared across multiple design groups.
• Knowledge of multiple foundries and process nodes.
• Experience working with distributed global engineering teams.
• Previous technical leadership or project-lead responsibility.

Success Profile

A successful candidate will:

• Consistently deliver high-quality layouts on complex projects.
• Improve engineering productivity through automation and workflow enhancement.
• Influence layout methodology across projects and teams.
