Mixed Signal IC Layout Engineer

Who you are

• An experienced analog/mixed-signal IC layout engineer with strong full-custom layout background on high-speed blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os).
• Proficient with Synopsys Custom Compiler or Cadence Virtuoso for custom layout, and Synopsys ICV or Siemens Calibre for physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, Antenna).
• Deep experience in CMOS/FinFET nodes (ideally TSMC or Samsung 12nm–2nm) with delivered silicon and a strong grasp of EM/IR, ESD, and latch-up in mixed-signal layouts.
• Detail-oriented and organized, able to own complex blocks independently and collaborate effectively with circuit designers; typically hold a BSEE (or equivalent experience) with ~10+ years in analog/mixed-signal layout.

What we need

• Execute full-custom analog/mixed-signal layout for key blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os) from schematics to manufacturable layouts.
• Develop optimized block and top-level floorplans, placement, and routing that balance area, parasitics, matching, congestion, and integration into our D2D PHY.
• Apply best-known layout practices and optimize parasitics (R/C), coupling, IR drop, and electromigration to meet precision, noise, timing, and power goals while closing DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, and Antenna.
• Support post-layout extraction and simulation and, as a bonus, contribute layout methodology and automation/scripts (Python, Tcl, SKILL, etc.) to improve team-wide quality and productivity.

What you will learn

• Deep, hands-on experience with cutting-edge FinFET technologies (down to 2nm) and the nuances of mixed-signal layout at these nodes.
• How to integrate high-speed analog/mixed-signal IP into a complex D2D PHY, including interactions across digital, analog, and I/O domains.
• Advanced approaches for managing EM/IR, ESD, latch-up, and physical-verification closure in dense mixed-signal environments.
• How to influence and evolve layout flows, methodologies, and automation, shaping how the broader team delivers high-quality silicon.
