- Execute full custom layout of analog/mixed-signal blocks (e.g., ADCs, DACs, PLLs, LDOs, etc.)
- Lead, mentor, and review the work of a team of junior layout engineers, providing technical guidance and quality oversight
- Plan, prioritize, and manage layout execution across multiple concurrent projects, coordinating schedules and resources to meet tapeout deadlines
- Drive layout strategy and technology qualification across multiple process nodes and technologies (e.g., CMOS, Si Ge, Bi CMOS, SOI, BCD)
- Collaborate with design engineers to optimize layout for performance, area, and reliability
- Perform layout verification, including DRC, LVS, and parasitic extraction
- Apply layout techniques to mitigate issues such as crosstalk, IR drop, and latch-up
- Provide support for post-layout simulations and tapeout activities
- Maintain design documentation and participate in peer layout reviews
- Interface with packaging and assembly teams to ensure compliance with manufacturing rules
- Work with the design and the foundry team for wafer step plan and wafer matrix
Qualifications & Requirements
- Experience: 12-15 years of hands-on experience in RFIC/MMIC/analog/mixed-signal/custom layout design across multiple process technologies (e.g., CMOS,
Si Ge, Bi CMOS, SOI, BCD), including experience managing multiple concurrent projects and mentoring junior layout engineers.
- Leadership & Project Management:
- Proven track record managing multiple layout projects simultaneously, from planning through tapeout
