THE ROLE

AMD is looking for a candidate to design the layout for digital and analog circuits based on schematics using industry leading CAD tools and cutting‑edge foundry technology. Examples of layout designed by our team include Phase Locked Loop (PLL), Delay Locked Loop (DLL), Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), Current Regulator, High Speed Differential Signalling circuitry, Droop Detect, and Die Crack Monitor. Proficiency in 2D layout design while being able to visualize in 3D space are traits ideal for this position. It is useful to have knowledge of digital and analog circuitry at the CMOS transistor level.

THE PERSON

An experienced Analog Layout design engineer should be innovative, collaborative, meticulous, and curious.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Layout of basic digital and analog building blocks using analog transistor level components.
• Layout of analog macros, power pads, and input/output pads using above blocks
• Working closely with Analog designers in floorplanning; power grid and signal flow planning
• Physical and electrical verification includes DRC, LVS, EM/IR, ERC, PERC Latch up and PERC ESD
• Creation of blackbox models for other groups in the design flow

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Must have detailed knowledge of CMOS circuit theory.
• Must have ability to communicate with various teams to articulate specs and requirements as they pertain to layout.
• Layout design and verification experience using Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor Calibre tools.
• Must have at least 5 years of relevant or comparable experience doing analog layout design.
• Knowledge of chip level integration and ESD concepts a plus.
• Experience in LVS, DRC, ERC, ANT, ESD, Latch‑up, EMIR and Reliability.
• Good understanding of signal and clock shielding and isolation techniques.
• Ability to work well as part of a team.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or related field) OR Associates Degree in Engineering.
