Company Overview
High Performance Analog (HPA) PL is looking for a Senior Layout Design Engineer who will be responsible for chip and block level layout of high-performance analog and mixed-signal products. A successful candidate will operate as the lead layout design engineer for the PL. The candidate will set up and debug LVS, DRC, ERC environments for the project team, as well as collaborate with lead chip design engineer on chip-level floor-plan. In addition, the candidate will layout critical building blocks such as high-resolution (e.g. 24-bit) analog-to-digital converters, precision voltage references, and HV chopper-stabilized amplifiers. As the lead layout design engineer of the PL, the candidate will also mentor fellow layout design engineers on techniques and best practices for high-precision and low-noise analog designs. As a key member of the team, you will be responsible for:
• Driving/delivering floorplan activities at both IPs and/or SOC level.
• Participating to the power supply strategy, signals distribution between blocks.
• Delivering Analog layout blocks and/or top floorplan strategy.
• Driving the top-level integration using the Mixed Signal on Top flow.
• Leading a layout team for the SoC execution and scheduling its activities through the project.




• Running all physical verifications as DRC/LVS/DFM and parasitic extractions to achieve high quality layout deliveries.
• Participating to design reviews, write documentation and support for integration into products.
• Having a strong focus on design for quality (designs are properly verified, validated, and tested for long-term reliability and zero defect).
• Identifying root cause and solutions for issues identified on 1st prototypes.
• Being able to leverage layout expertise to provide technical training and write technical guidelines.
Required Qualifications and Experience
The ideal candidate will have:
• >10+ years of experience leading Analog layout activities in complex ICs.
• Fluent in English.
• Solid expertise in Analog layouts, device physics and IC ESD protection strategies.
• Expert in layout design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso (OA, PVS) and Mentor Graphics (Calibre).
• Ability to drive and collaborate with experienced people having different technical profiles.
• Ability to manage and drive a multisite layout team.
• Experience in delivering advanced floorplan strategies.
• Experience in physical implementation in Analog blocks at IPs and/or SOC level.
• Ability to leverage his expertise to provide training, support and write guidelines focused on layout activities.
• Experience with cross functional teams and excellent communication skills to operate in a global environment with multiple partners in design, test, program management, quality department.
