Role Overview

As a Senior Analog/RF Layout Engineer, you will contribute to all phases of physical design—from concept through tapeout—focused on block-level layout with support for top-level integration. Working with circuit designers, packaging, process, and product teams, you will build robust, manufacturable layouts that meet performance, reliability, area, and schedule goals, helping deliver high-speed electrical IP such as SerDes, PAM4 interfaces, D2D PHY, and clocking subsystems.

What You Will Do
- Drive layout and physical implementation of analog/mixed-signal circuits, high-speed interfaces (SerDes, PAM4), and supporting digital blocks.
- Own block-level floorplanning, placement, routing, and integration for complex mixed-signal ICs.
- Translate schematics and performance targets into optimized layouts—tuned for matching, parasitics, signal/power integrity, thermal behavior, yield, and manufacturability.
- Ensure compliance with all foundry rules (DRC, LVS, ERC, density, EM/IR, reliability).
- Support top-level assembly across analog, digital,



and high-speed domains (SerDes, PAM4 paths, clocking, control logic).
- Review post-layout extraction and support simulation closure, applying best practices for symmetry, shielding, and isolation.
- Partner with packaging and product teams on bump planning, pad ring, ESD structures, and package integration.
- Drive layout-related issues affecting performance, yield, or production readiness; contribute to reviews on feasibility, tradeoffs, and tapeout risk.
- Support tapeout readiness (database checks, signoff), CAD flow/automation improvements, mentoring of junior engineers, and post-silicon debug of layout issues.

Tools & EDA Expertise

Solid hands-on command of the Cadence Virtuoso custom-design platform is essential—deep tool fluency keeps the learning curve short. We expect working expertise across the following (or close equivalents):
- Virtuoso Layout Suite (XL / GXL) for connectivity- and constraint-driven
