Analog Layout

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Analog / Mixed-Signal IC Layout Engineer with 8–12 years of hands-on experience in IC layout. The ideal candidate should be capable of independently executing block-level layouts from floor planning through tapeout handoff , while working closely with circuit designers and other layout engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently execute block-level Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Layout with minimal supervision.
• Own the complete layout cycle from floor planning, placement, routing, optimization, physical verification, and tapeout handoff .
• Work closely with Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuit Designers to understand circuit requirements and translate them into robust physical layouts.
• Perform layout optimization considering matching, symmetry, common-centroid, shielding, routing, parasitics, and noise isolation requirements.
• Perform and debug physical verification including DRC, LVS and related verification checks .
• Identify and resolve layout-related issues in collaboration with circuit designers.
• Ensure layouts meet design rules, reliability, performance, and tapeout requirements .
• Contribute to improving layout quality, methodology, and productivity.
• Effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate layout status, challenges, and risks.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8–12 years of hands-on experience in Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Layout.
• Strong experience in block-level layout execution from floor planning to tapeout handoff.
• Experience working on technology nodes such as:
• 130nm, 90nm, 65nm & 180nm
• Strong proficiency in Calibre and Assura physical verification tools.
• Good understanding of DRC, LVS and layout verification/debugging .
• Strong knowledge of Analog/Mixed-Signal layout practices, including:
• Matching and symmetry, Common-centroid layout & Interdigitated structure
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned layout blocks.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to drive and collaborate effectively with layout engineers and circuit designers .

Good to Have

• Experience with multiple Analog/Mixed-Signal IPs such as PLL, ADC/DAC, LDO, Bandgap, SerDes, PMIC, and other analog blocks .
• Experience in full-chip integration and top-level layout .
• Exposure to advanced physical verification and tapeout flows .
• Experience working in a customer-facing or project-based semiconductor engineering environment .
