  • Good knowledge in deep submicron CMOS technologies
  • Good judgment in selecting efficient/robust methods and techniques to layout floorplan and validation.
  • Design for porting (i.e. design to enable ease moving layout across multiple foundry nodes)
  • Knowledge of signal integrity issues and techniques to mitigate ESD, latchup (i.e. clock/data routes, differential routing, shielding, well distance, substrate biasing)
  • Familiarity with custom digital layout (i.e. high speed digital paths)
  • Knowledge of layout effects and design for reliability (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, EM, IR, etc.)
  • Ability to build productive internal/external working relationships. Networks with senior internal and external personnel in own area of expertise.
  • Familiarity with UNIX operating systems and IC design tools.
  • Good written and verbal English language skills
