Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.\nOur award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.\nResponsibilities\nKeysight Technologies has been and will continue to be the world’s premier measurement company. Keysight Technologies has an opening for an Analog Layout Engineer in its ASIC/MMIC Design Center in Colorado Springs.\nThis specific position is to support a team of ASIC/MMIC designers by laying out full custom BiCMOS, CMOS, and bipolar (e.g., InP/GaAs) ICs for leading-edge test and\nmeasurement products. Through close collaboration with IC designers and experts in IC technologies and IC design tools, you’ll help create breakthrough components for new Keysight products. The position also requires tools and CAD knowledge to develop methodologies and automation to increase productivity and effectiveness.\nJob Aspects include:\nCreating transistor level layout views from schematics, spanning from cell-level up through top-level and full-chip assembly\nCompleting Design Rule Checking (DRC), Layout-vs-Schematic (LVS), Antenna Checks, and maintaining Layout XL compliance\nPlacing device primitives using best practices for thermal and device matching, like common centroid, dummy matching, RF symmetry, interdigitation, etc.\nSoliciting IC designers for advice and feedback on critical circuit nodes, matching requirements, current density requirements, and other critical parameters for circuit\nsuccess\nKnowledge of electro-migration (EMIR) and how to best prevent and correct its effects\nUnderstanding of metal density requirements and proper ways to address this type of DRC error\nAssisting the design team with IC floorplanning, creating grid cells and other custom layouts\nCoordinating layout activities with other layout engineers and contractors\nComplete chip level sign-off verifications\nQualifications\nMust have qualifications:\nBS/MS in Electrical Engineering, or applicable degree and/or relevant experience\n7+ years of experience with custom Analog IC Layout experience\n5+ years of experience with Cadence Virtuoso Layout XL tools including cell level design and top-level verification tasks including full-chip DRC, LVS and metal density/slot\nrules\nFamiliarity with analog design in modern sub-micron BiCMOS (130 nm and smaller)\nKnowledge of device matching, common centroid practices, parasitic effects, and other techniques for guaranteeing quality results\nAbility to work on multiple cell designs in parallel in a dynamic environment\nExperience with Version Control systems (e.g., SVN, Cliosoft/SOS)\nExcellent teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills as you will work directly with IC design engineers and other layout designers\nAdditional skills that are nice to have:\nBasic understanding of simple electrical circuits\nExperience with Mentor Calibre DRC / LVS and similar EDA tools\nLayout experience specifically for high-frequency (20+ GHz) bipolar signal path ICs\nLinux fundamental knowledge\nSKILL programming or other scripting experience\nOCEAN experience\nITAR statement: This position requires access to certain goods, software, technology, or technical data subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations.
