Memory Layout Engineer - ASICCompany: Vicharak
Location: Surat, Gujarat
Employment: Full-time
Experience: 6+ years in custom IC layout, preferably with memory layout experience
About VicharakVicharak builds edge computing platforms and is developing ASICs for energy-productive AI processing. Our semiconductor work spans custom memory, compute-in-memory architectures and highly parallel compute engines.
We are looking for a Memory Layout Engineer to turn transistor-level memory designs into compact, robust and manufacturable layouts. You will work closely with circuit designers and physical design engineers, contributing from bitcell development through macro integration and tapeout.
Responsibilities• Design and optimize custom memory bitcells, arrays and peripheral circuits, including SRAM memory.
• Develop layouts for decoders, wordline drivers, precharge circuits, sense amplifiers, write drivers and refresh circuitry.
• Optimize cell area, array pitch, routing and parasitics while meeting foundry design rules and circuit requirements.




• Build repeatable array structures with appropriate boundary cells, dummy structures, well ties and power distribution.
• Run and debug DRC, LVS and parasitic extraction at cell, block and macro levels.
• Work with circuit designers to resolve post-layout timing, power, read/write margin and retention issues.
• Address matching, coupling, electromigration, IR drop and layout-dependent effects.
• Prepare verified layout deliverables, GDS/OASIS and integration views for the SoC team.
• Support foundry reviews, design-rule clarifications and tapeout signoff.
• Automate repetitive layout generation and verification tasks.

Required Skills• Hands-on experience in full-custom transistor-level IC layout.
• Experience with memory bitcells, memory arrays or memory peripheral circuits.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso or an equivalent custom layout environment.
• Experience with physical verification and extraction tools such as Calibre, Pe
