About This Role
- This position requires candidates to upload a resume in English; you are welcome to upload multiple versions of your resume if you prefer but an English version of your resume will be required to be considered for this position.
- As a Senior Layout Design Engineer within the DTP AMS group, you will play a pivotal role in delivering best-in-class IO IPs on leading-edge process nodes.
- You will work at the intersection of circuit design, process technology, and automation to achieve aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets.
- This role requires a blend of artistic precision in manual layout and a strategic mindset to drive CAD automation and methodology improvements.
- Primary Responsibilities IP Architecture: Architect and implement complex analog and mixed-signal layouts for IO IPs, ensuring strict adherence to performance targets and design specifications.
- Global Technical Leadership: Act as a technical anchor across global sites (including India and Mexico), ensuring seamless project hand-offs and maintaining design consistency across time zones.
- Floorplanning and Integration: Develop sophisticated chip-level floorplans, robust power grids, and optimized ESD/bump structures.
- Electrical Integrity: Execute precise micro-floorplanning and detailed signal routing using advanced techniques (shielding, matching, and parasitic balancing) to mitigate layout-dependent effects.
- Comprehensive Verification: Own the full suite of verification tasks, including DRC, LVS, and antenna checks, as well as reliability assessments such as Electromigration (EM) and IR drop analysis.
- Additional Responsibilities Methodology and Automation: Identify bottlenecks in the design flow and develop new CAD-based automations or scripting solutions to enhance team productivity and layout quality.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Technology Development (TD), Circuit Design, and Packaging teams to negotiate layout tradeoffs and define IP requirements for next-generation nodes.
- Technical Troubleshooting: Act as a subject matter expert to resolve complex design gaps and tool-related issues, ensuring project milestones remain on track.
- Quality and Reliability (QnR): Collaborate with QnR engineers to interpret and implement advanced reliability requirements and process-specific design rules.
- Mentorship and Peer Review: Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and participate in layout reviews to ensure best-in-class standards are maintained across the team.
- Required Skills and Qualifications Expertise in Advanced Nodes: Deep understanding of layout challenges in FinFET and leading-edge process technologies.
- Tool Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, synopsys, Mentor Calibre).
- Analytical Mindset: Strong grasp of the physical effects impacting analog performance (e.g., LOD, WPE, Parasitic Extraction).
- Innovation-Driven: Proven ability to use scripting (SKILL, Python, or Perl) to automate repetitive tasks.
Requirements
