Job description

Team Lead - Recruitment for Fortune 10 IT (QA/DA/PM/BA/EPM)

Mask Layout Designer

Summary

Our teams are responsible for the design of a wide range of RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks from RF front-end amplifiers to data converters, including baseband filters, baseband and RF phase-locked loops, crystal oscillators, and bandgap references. We are working on new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. In this role, you will work closely with the design team to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP for complex SoC products. You will have a critical impact on developing Client’s state-of-the-art designs and getting them into hundreds of millions of products.

Description

As an IC Layout Engineer, you will be a key member of our team, researching, designing and bringing the next-generation of wireless technologies into high-volume production in advanced CMOS technology nodes. Responsibilities include:

1. Detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks including LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC/DAC, baseband filters, and bandgap/bias/LDO.
2. Block level layout through full verification flow including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM checking.
3. Co-work with designers on block level floorplanning.
4. Layout review for power/gnd routing, electromigration, signal path check, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS and 5+ years of relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Experience in custom RF/analog layout for radio transceivers with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS.
2. Knowledgeable in layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high frequency routing.
3. Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, and coupling.
4. Understanding of guard rings, DNW, PN junctions, and advanced process effects such as LOD, WPE, etc.
5. High level proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc. in FinFet Technology (7nm experience highly preferred).
6. Knowledge of CADENCE layout tools.
7. Excellent communication skills and able to work with cross-functional teams.
8. Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are a plus, but not required.
