Analog Layout Engineer

Job Overview :

We are looking for an experienced Analog Layout Engineer with strong expertise in full-custom analog and mixed-signal layout. The ideal candidate should have a solid understanding of analog layout fundamentals, including matching, symmetry, shielding, parasitic effects, and layout quality.

The candidate will work closely with circuit designers to translate circuit designs into high-quality layouts while ensuring compliance with design rules and performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities :

- Create full-custom layouts for analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks.

- Work closely with circuit designers to understand design requirements and layout constraints.

- Implement effective matching, symmetry, common-centroid, shielding, and guard-ring techniques.

- Ensure high-quality layout while considering circuit performance and manufacturability.

- Perform DRC and LVS checks and resolve layout-related violations.

- Analyze and minimize the impact of layout parasitics on circuit performance.

- Apply appropriate ESD and latch-up prevention techniques as per technology requirements.

- Support EM/IR analysis and address related layout issues.

- Debug and resolve layout issues in collaboration with circuit design and other engineering teams.

- Ensure layouts meet relevant foundry/process design rules and guidelines.

- Participate in layout reviews and incorporate feedback from circuit designers and verification teams.

- Maintain proper documentation and follow established layout methodologies and quality standards.

Required Skills :

- Strong hands-on experience in Analog Layout.

- Strong understanding of analog layout fundamentals and methodologies.

- Good knowledge of matching techniques, symmetry, common-centroid layout, shielding, guard rings, and dummy devices.

- Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso XL.

- Experience with Calibre DRC/LVS.

- Good understanding of ESD and latch-up rules.

- Strong understanding of layout parasitics and their impact on circuit performance.

- Knowledge of EM/IR analysis.

- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.

- Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
