Senior Analog/RF IC Layout Engineer – High-Speed IP

Insight Global; Irvine (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global seeks an experienced Analog/RF Layout Engineer to develop custom physical layouts for high-speed analog and mixed-signal designs in Irvine, CA. Translate schematics into DRC/LVS-clean layouts and own IP blocks from floorplanning to tape-out, collaborating with circuit designers on floorplanning, routing, and parasitic optimization.

The role requires strong hands-on Cadence Virtuoso/VXL and Mentor Calibre experience, with a track record on FinFET nodes and device matching.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related field with 8+ years of experience or MS with 6+ years.
• Extensive analog and high-speed layout experience including TX/RX/SerDes/PLL.
• Hands-on Cadence Virtuoso and Virtuoso VXL for custom IC layout.
• Experience with Mentor Calibre for DRC/LVS verification and sign-off.
• Proven layout experience with advanced FinFET process nodes.
• Strong understanding of device matching, critical-net routing, and power/ground.

Responsibilities

• Translate analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed schematics into production-ready physical layouts.
• Own custom IP and top-level layouts from initial floorplanning through tape-out and sign-off.
• Perform precision device matching and critical-net routing to meet high-frequency performance.
• Collaborate with circuit designers on floorplanning, power/ground architecture, layout strategy, and parasitic optimization.
• Run and resolve DRC/LVS verification using Cadence and Calibre tools.
• Develop layouts on advanced FinFET nodes addressing geometry, routing, and physical-design constraints.
• Support top-level integration, project scheduling, and physical-design readiness for silicon tape-out.
