Layout Engineer / Layout Designer (Analog and Mixed Signal)

Please note, this role is needed onsite first 2 weeks, then allowed to work remotely. Must be in the Cupertino, CA area.

Layout Engineers are responsible for delivering Analog Mixed-Signal layouts. They collaborate with Layout/schematic DRIs of highly skilled individuals to develop world-leading SOCs. As a part of the AMS layout team, you will be delivering fully-verified, layout. This includes the following:

• Crafting sophisticated layout for mixed signal and analog circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
• Reviewing and analyzing floorplans and intricate circuits.
• Running complete sets of design verification tools available on AMS blocks.
• Working with circuit design engineers plan/schedule work and coordinate vital layout tradeoMs 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.
• Applying sophisticated CAD tools and mask design knowledge to deliver accurate and robust layout that matches performance, area and power requirements.

• MacOS
• iOS

3 years of experience with each of the following skills is required:

• Layout design of tight matching, low noise, and low power analog blocks, resistors, capacitors, pad IOs, and ESD structures;
• IR drop, RC delay, electromigration, self-heating, and cross capacitance;
• CALIBRE DRC, ERC, and LVS reports;
• Analog/mixed-signal layout design of SubMicron CMOS circuits;
• Recognizing failure prone circuit and layout structures; and
• Analog and DFM best practices.

Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Alternatively, employer will accept a Master's degree or foreign equivalent Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or related field and 3 years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience in the job offered or related occupation.

• 5+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design, with a focus on deep sub-micron CMOS circuits and at least 2+ years in FinFET technologies
• Excellent communication skills and able to work with multi-functional teams
• Familiar with CAD tools like Virtuoso, Innovus, Calibre is a plus
• Programming knowledge in SKILL, Perl, and/or Python is a bonus
• Concentration in Mixed-Signal and RF Integrated Circuits is helpful

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $63.37 to $70.42 an hour. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
