Job summary

Blue Origin seeks an experienced analog/mixed-signal layout engineer to participate in the physical implementation of high-performance ICs for TeraWave. You will collaborate with circuit designers to deliver manufacturable layouts for ADCs/DACs, PLLs, and related circuits.

You will ensure layouts meet performance, reliability, and integration requirements, while mentoring junior designers. This on-site role in San Diego or Cupertino may include temporary remote work during site development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
• 10+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Hands-on experience developing analog/mixed-signal custom layouts in FinFET technologies.
• Strong understanding of device matching, symmetry, parasitic effects, noise isolation, and layout-dependent effects.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, including connectivity-driven layout using Virtuoso XL.
• Experience with Siemens Calibre or equivalent physical verification tools (DRC/LVS).
• Understanding of advanced-node layout constraints, electromigration, current density, and power-routing requirements.
• Experience translating circuit schematics and designer requirements into verified layouts.

Responsibilities

• Develop custom transistor-level layouts for analog/mixed-signal circuits in FinFET technologies, including floorplanning, placement, routing, and LVS/DRC verification.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to meet performance, matching, noise isolation, area, and reliability targets.
• Apply FinFET-specific layout techniques addressing geometry constraints and layout-dependent effects.
• Implement matched device structures and sensitive signal routing with proper shielding and isolation.
• Perform DRC, ERC, LVS checks and investigate complex verification issues.
• Generate parasitic extraction results and work with designers to resolve layout-related performance issues.
• Develop power/ground distribution meeting electromigration and voltage-drop requirements.
• Lead layout reviews and mentor less-experienced designers.
