We are seeking a highly skilled Analog Layout Engineer with expertise in custom layout design for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. This role involves developing high-quality layouts for complex analog and high-speed circuit blocks while ensuring compliance with design specifications, process requirements, and physical verification standards.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso XL (VXL), a deep understanding of analog layout methodologies, and the ability to optimize layouts for performance, reliability, area, and manufacturability. You will collaborate closely with circuit designers and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver robust silicon-ready designs.

## Requirements

### Key Responsibilities

-   Develop and implement custom layouts for analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks while meeting design and process constraints.
-   Create high-quality layouts using Cadence Virtuoso XL (VXL) for complex analog and high-speed IPs.
-   Design layouts for critical analog blocks such as PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, Bandgap Reference Generators, Charge Pumps, Comparators, Oscillators, Current Mirrors, Differential Amplifiers, and Temperature Sensors.
-   Design layouts for high-speed circuits including transmitters, receivers, clock generation circuits, and related interfaces.
-   Perform floorplanning, placement, routing, and layout optimization to achieve performance, power, area, and reliability targets.
-   Execute and debug physical verification checks including LVS, DRC, and other layout validation activities.
-   Analyze and resolve layout-related issues impacting functionality, manufacturability, and performance.
-   Apply analog layout best practices including matching techniques, common-centroid layouts, shielding, guard rings, and symmetry considerations.
-   Address challenges related to electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR drop, and parasitic effects.
-   Optimize layouts for speed, capacitance, power consumption, signal integrity, and area efficiency.
-   Support Engineering Change Orders (ECO), Layout Change Orders (LCO), and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) activities.
-   Ensure adherence to technology design rules, project guidelines, and quality standards.
-   Collaborate with design engineers to understand circuit requirements and implement optimal layout solutions.
-   Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous process improvements.

### What Makes You a Great Fit

-   Strong experience in Analog Layout Engineering and Custom Layout Design.
-   Hands-on expertise with Cadence Virtuoso XL (VXL) and custom analog layout methodologies.
-   Solid understanding of analog and mixed-signal design fundamentals.
-   Experience designing layouts for critical analog building blocks and high-speed circuit components.
-   Strong knowledge of physical verification flows including LVS, DRC, and layout debugging.
-   Deep understanding of matching techniques, parasitic management, electromigration, latch-up prevention, crosstalk mitigation, and IR-drop analysis.
-   Ability to evaluate layout trade-offs involving performance, power, area, and manufacturability.
-   Familiarity with semiconductor process technologies, design rules, and fabrication requirements.
-   Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities.
-   Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with circuit design and verification teams.
-   Good verbal and written communication skills with a proactive approach to technical challenges.
-   Detail-oriented mindset with a commitment to delivering high-quality, production-ready layouts.
