Contribute to develop standard layout methodologies across site. Contribute to build process and procedures to achieve high layout quality

Responsibilities:

• Requires remote interfacing with local and global design and layout teams in multiple design centers across different time zones
• Lead Top-level chip-planning and perform functional-block-level, block-level, sub-block level, leaf cell, standard cell custom layouts for CMOS and BiCMOS circuits
• Perform schematic-driven layout and design constraints
• Design die-area efficient layouts according to circuit designer requirements
• Perform block or top-level layout designs
• Perform floor-planning, power line planning, shielding, and device-matching layout
• Verify layouts. Pass DRC, LVS, and ERC
• Contribute to various chip-level routing and layout needs
• Perform chip level integration, verifications, and tape-out
• Support other projects as needed by management
• Train junior layout engineers and offshore layout contractors
• Contribute to develop common best practices and workflow across all sites
• Contribute to build process and procedures to achieve high layout quality

Qualifications & Requirements:

• AA/AS Degree in Layout Design or related field or equivalent experience
• 8 years’ experience with layout design for analog and full-custom digital blocks
