You are well-versed in the ASIC physical design flow, including LEF generation, top-level verification flow, DRC/LVS, and LPE. Your knowledge of EM and IR considerations, DFM, and other critical design aspects makes you an invaluable asset to any team. While scripting skills for layout automation are a plus, your excellent written and verbal communication skills ensure effective interactions with internal development teams.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing and verifying Analog Mixed-Signal layouts, with a focus on high-speed SerDes IPs.
• Utilizing advanced tools for floor-planning and routing to optimize layout designs.
• Applying deep submicron effect mitigation techniques to ensure design robustness.
• Generating LEF files and integrating them into the top-level verification flow.
• Conducting DRC, LVS, and LPE to ensure layout compliance and performance.
• Collaborating with internal teams to address ESD and latchup design considerations.
• Implementing EM and IR considerations to maintain design integrity.
• Leveraging scripting skills to automate repetitive layout tasks, enhancing efficiency.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Contributing to the development of industry-leading Analog Mixed-Signal IPs.
• Ensuring the robustness and reliability of high-speed SerDes designs.
• Optimizing layout designs to achieve superior performance and manufacturability.
• Enhancing the overall quality and compliance of ASIC physical designs.
• Facilitating seamless integration of layout designs into top-level verification flows.
• Driving innovation through effective collaboration and communication with internal teams.

What You’ll Need:

• BTech/MTech in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.
• 2+ years of experience in Analog Mixed-Signal layout and verification.
• Proficiency in CMOS and FinFET layouts and process technology (28nm and smaller).
• Advanced understanding of deep submicron effects and mitigation techniques.
• Experience with advanced tool usage, floor-planning, and routing.
• Knowledge of ESD and latchup layout design considerations.
• Familiarity with the ASIC physical design flow, LEF generation, and top-level verification flow.
• Understanding of DRC, LVS, LPE, EM, IR considerations, and DFM.
• Strong scripting skills for layout automation (preferred).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Who You Are:

• Detail-oriented with a strong analytical mindset.
• A proactive problem solver with a passion for innovation.
• Collaborative and able to work effectively in a team environment.
• Adaptable and capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Committed to continuous learning and professional development.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be joining a dynamic and innovative team focused on developing cutting-edge Analog Mixed-Signal IPs. Our team thrives on collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to excellence. Together, we tackle complex design challenges and push the boundaries of technology to deliver high-performance solutions.
