We are seeking a highly skilled Analog Layout Engineer with strong expertise in advanced CMOS technology nodes to join our VLSI design team. The candidate will be responsible for delivering robust, high‑performance analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed layouts while working closely with design, verification, and global engineering teams. This role demands deep technical expertise, strong ownership, and the ability to execute complex layouts independently.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop high-quality analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed layouts for advanced CMOS technologies.
- Perform complete layout activities including floorplanning, placement, routing, matching, shielding, and optimization.
- Execute and debug DRC, LVS, ERC, and resolve complex physical verification issues.
- Implement advanced layout techniques to meet performance, power, area (PPA), reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
- Address FinFET-specific challenges, including restrictive DRC rules and advanced node limitations.
- Work closely with circuit designers to optimize layout for noise, matching, parasitics, and yield.
- Lead layout blocks or modules independently and drive them to tape‑out readiness.
- Collaborate effectively with global cross‑functional teams across geographies.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of layout methodologies and best practices.
- Hands‑on experience or strong familiarity with GlobalFoundries (GF) process nodes, including FinFET technologies and lower geometry nodes, covering analog/mixed‑signal design challenges, device characterization, and performance optimization.
- Hands‑on experience in Analog / Mixed‑Signal / High‑Speed layout design.
- Strong exposure to advanced technology nodes, including:
- TSMC 2nm, 3nm, 5nm, 7nm, 14nm
- Solid understanding of physical and electrical effects, parasitics, EM/IR, and reliability considerations.
- Sound knowledge and hands‑on experience in FinFET technology, layout design challenges, and DRC constraints.
- Experience working on lower technology nodes with complex layout rules.
Tools & Technical Skills
- Cadence IC 12.1
- Minimum 3+ years of experience using layout design and verification tools such as Cadence, LVS, RMAP, or equivalent.
- Strong debugging and problem‑resolution skills in physical verification.
- Scripting knowledge in SKILL, Perl, and Shell is an added advantage.
