Senior RFIC Layout Engineer – mmWave & SoC Expert

Point2 Technology Inc.; Irvine (CA); On-site; USD 170,000 - 258,000; Full time

Job summary

Point2 Technology Inc. is seeking an experienced Analog / RFIC Layout Engineer to lead the layout phase from floorplanning to tape-out, partnering with analog and RFIC designers to deliver high-frequency circuit designs.

You will own full-chip integration, floorplanning, and complex routing for sensitive RF/analog macros, ensuring robust performance and reliability. Responsibilities include DRC/LVS/ERC checks, EM and IR drop resolution, and developing methodologies to integrate custom macros

Qualifications

• Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with IC Layout training certificate.
• Over 10 years of experience in analog, mixed-signal, and RF layout for mmWave (>20 GHz).
• Proficient in Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, and StarRC/Quantus for layout and verification.
• RF layout fundamentals: signal integrity, symmetry, multi-path matching, guard rings.
• Experience with SiGe, GaAs or other HBT processes.
• Ability to identify bottlenecks and resolve layout-induced design challenges.
• Excellent communication and startup-ready teamwork.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with Analog/RFIC designers to perform custom block-level and top-level layouts.
• Own the physical implementation, including full-chip integration, floorplanning, and complex routing for sensitive RF and analog macros.
• Execute physical verification by running, analyzing, and independently debugging DRC, LVS, ERC, and Antenna checks.
• Optimize for performance using high-frequency layout techniques (device matching, shielding, isolation, reducing parasitics).
• Ensure reliability by analyzing and resolving Electromigration (EM) and IR drop issues.
• Streamline processes by developing methodologies to simplify custom macro integration into top-level P&R flows.
• Drive tape-out success by supporting tight deadlines across multiple advanced-node projects.
