Role Posting Log in to save

The Analog Layout Automation Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering Group to develop high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits, including SerDes, PLLs, and sensors. This role involves converting design concepts into silicon by collaborating with circuit designers, reviewing floor plans, analyzing circuits, and resolving LVS, DRC, and ERC issues. A primary focus is driving automation through script development, workflow improvements, and the application of AI/ML techniques for layout optimization, verification acceleration, advanced modeling, and data-driven insights. The candidate will utilize tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Innovus while employing SKILL, Perl, TCL, Shell, and Python for scripting. Technical expertise includes deep-submicron CMOS and FinFET technologies, PyTorch for model development, and image processing fundamentals to address complex physical integration challenges such as IR drop, RC delay, and electromigration in multi-billion transistor systems-on-chip.
