Analog IC Layout Engineer

About This Role

• Senior/Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Layout Engineer Broadcom is a technology leader in mixed-signal system-on-chip.
• Working in the Edinburgh Analog/Mixed-Signal design team you will implement analog and mixed-signal layouts in nanometer CMOS technologies for custom Mixed-Signal ASIC products.
• Working closely with circuit designers, you will layout analog and mixed signal circuits using industry standard layout and physical verification tools.
• The successful candidate will have a strong working knowledge of nanometer CMOS IC layout and verification including multiple voltage domain layout strategies and methodologies.
• You will also be responsible for planning and organising layout schedules and floorplans, assembling top level IPs and chips for tapeout, and ensuring tapeout processor a followed correctly.
• There will be some supervision of local and remote layout resources and also training of junior staff on layout techniques.
• Job skills: B.Eng/M.Sc in Electronic Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Strong experience with layout of mixed-signal analog IC blocks such as ADCs, PGAs, DACs, filters, drivers, power management circuits and clocking circuits.
• Experience leading layout of analog top levels and large analog and mixed-signal IPs Experience of layout in advanced nanometer CMOS technologies.
• Strong grasp of physical layout and physical verification flows and methodologies (Cadence Virtuoso Layout-XL, Mentor Graphics Calibre), including high voltage verification techniques.
• Ability to work successfully with both local and remote teams and foster a culture of best layout practice across our organisation.
• Knowledge of SKILL scripting, general purpose scripting languages such as Perl/Python, and Calibre SRVF, to improve automation and productivity is desirable.
