We are seeking an experienced Analog Layout Engineer with 9–12 years of hands-on experience in custom analog and mixed-signal IC layout development. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in GF 65nm technology, PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) layouts, and high-performance analog layout design. In this role, you will collaborate closely with circuit designers, verification engineers, and physical design teams to develop robust, high-quality layouts that meet stringent performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers passionate about advanced semiconductor design and committed to delivering high-quality analog IP for cutting-edge products.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement custom analog and mixed-signal layouts using GF 65nm process technology.
• Develop complex layouts for PLL blocks, including VCOs, charge pumps, loop filters, frequency dividers, bias circuits, and associated analog components.
• Translate circuit schematics into optimized physical layouts while ensuring compliance with process design rules and design specifications.
• Perform floorplanning, device matching, routing, shielding, guard ring implementation, and substrate isolation techniques to achieve superior circuit performance.
• Execute DRC, LVS, ERC, and parasitic extraction checks and work closely with design teams to resolve layout-related issues.
• Optimize layouts for area, performance, yield, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with circuit designers during layout reviews and support post-layout simulations by addressing parasitic concerns.
• Apply best practices for common-centroid layouts, symmetry, matching, electromigration, and IR-drop considerations.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvements in layout methodologies and design flows.
• Mentor junior layout engineers by sharing technical expertise and reviewing layout quality.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.
