DESCRIPTION

Key Qualifications


Positions are available for multiple experience levels.
We want you to have experience in custom analog layout from floorplan, placement, routing, and verification, with extensive experience on deep sub-micron CMOS (16nm, 7nm, etc.). mmWave experience is a plus.
Knowledge in FinFet device structures, guard-rings, DNW, PN junctions, and advanced process effects such as LOD, WPE, and DFM etc. will be critical to your success.
Understanding of trade-offs in matching, parasitic effects, high frequency routing, isolation, coupling, shielding, RC delay, EM, IR, ESD and latch-up is key.
Working knowledge of Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor Calibre, and proficiency in interpreting verification results of DRC, LVS, ERC, and ANT are skills you need to succeed.
We would welcome a great teammate with excellent communication skills to work with multi-functional teams.
Please be prepared to proactively work with circuit designers for optimal solutions to problems, and recognize failure prone circuit and layout structures.
You can benefit from the ability to provide accurate schedule and update plans to meet project milestones.
Knowledge of Totem, EM/IR tools, PAD/EAD and constraint editor experience would be a plus.
Experience with Skill, Python, Perl, layout scripts for automation and improvement of flow will be helpful.


Description

We expect you to perform: - Detailed transistor level layout of analog and RF circuit blocks including LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC/DAC, baseband filters, and bandgap/bias/LDO. - Layout of sensitive analog components including resistors, capacitors, and inductors. - Block level and top-level layout through full verification flow including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM. - Collaborate with designers on block level placement and top-level floor planning. - Layout review for power/ground routing, electro-migration, power distribution, signal path, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling. - Top-level layout integration, verification, and project schedule management.
