- 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.
