Lead Analog Layout Designer for Tapeout & AI-Driven

Analog Devices, Inc.; Chandler, Northern (AZ, KY); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Analog Devices, a global semiconductor leader, seeks a Lead Designer, Layout to own full-custom analog and mixed-signal IC layouts from floorplan to signoff. You will develop parasitic-aware strategies, optimize area, routing, power distribution, and signal integrity for products across ADI business units.

You will apply precision matching, perform parasitic extraction, and collaborate with circuit designers on post-layout optimization and silicon correlation.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of custom analog/mixed-signal IC layout experience.
• Strong proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso Layout Suite and physical verification tools.
• Proven track record delivering layouts through tapeout and production release.
• Precision matching layout for bipolar and MOS transistors, resistors, capacitors.
• Parasitic extraction, layout-dependent effects, post-layout simulation correlation.
• Excellent presentation, technical writing, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Execute full-custom layout for analog and mixed-signal blocks including power stage FET metallization, LDOs, references, gate drivers, charge pumps, signal conditioning, and data converters.
• Develop block-level and chip-level floorplans optimizing area, routing, power distribution, and signal integrity.
• Apply precision matching techniques with noise isolation through guard rings, shielding, and deep N-well structures.
• Perform physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC) and parasitic extraction with post-layout optimization.
• Support layout methodology improvements and junior designer development through scripting and AI/ML-driven automation.
