Role and Responsibilities
- Highly motivated, detail‑oriented and systematic approach to IC layout design.
- Perform layout verification (LVS, DRC, antenna checks) with thorough quality reviews and documentation.
- Lead the design and development of complex analog, mixed‑signal, and digital blocks, as well as full‑chip level integration.
- Ensure timely delivery of high‑quality, block‑level layouts that meet project milestones and design specifications.
- Collaborate with global engineering teams to execute and integrate layout projects successfully.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members, reviewing sub‑block layouts and supporting their development.
- Manage multiple priorities and deliver results under tight timelines while demonstrating leadership in planning, scheduling and execution.
- Contribute actively to project management and cross‑functional coordination.
Qualification / Requirements
- 8–15 years of experience in Memory / Analog / Custom layout design across advanced CMOS process nodes, including Planar and FinFET technologies.
- Strong expertise in Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre for DRC/LVS verification.
- Hands‑on experience designing critical Memory / Analog and mixed‑signal blocks such as array layout, decoder, control logic, IOs, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, reference generators, charge pumps, current mirrors, comparators, and differential amplifiers.
- Solid understanding of memory/analog layout principles, including bit cell, addressing, banking, matching, electromigration, latch‑up, coupling, crosstalk, IR‑drop, and parasitic effects.
- Ability to assess and mitigate layout impacts on circuit performance—speed, capacitance, power, and area.
- Familiarity with design hierarchies and memory layout architectures is a plus.
- Strong problem‑solving skills in physical verification and debugging of custom layouts.
- Prior involvement in multiple successful tapeouts is highly desirable.
- Proven ability to manage multiple layout projects, ensuring quality and timely delivery at all stages.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across global teams.
Education
- BE or MTech in Electronic/VLSI Engineering.
