Staff Layout Engineer

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Analog Layout Engineer capable of independently owning analog and mixed-signal layout blocks from floorplanning through sign-off. The ideal candidate should demonstrate strong technical expertise in analog layout implementation, automation, scripting, and team collaboration while providing layout guidance to junior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Own complete analog/mixed-signal layout blocks from specification review through tape out readiness.
• Perform architecture-driven floorplanning and layout execution from scratch.
• Drive layout quality through robust DRC, LVS, ERC, and extraction closure.
• Optimize layouts for matching, performance, area, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Develop and enhance layout automation solutions using scripting and custom utilities.
• Create reusable methodologies to improve layout productivity and quality.
• Lead design reviews and collaborate with circuit designers across multiple projects.
• Mentor junior layout engineers and support technical growth within the team.
• Contribute to layout best practices, process understanding, and automation strategy.
