TL;DR · Mask Layout Designer

As a Mask Layout Designer on the Mask Design Team, you will collaborate with circuit teams to plan and construct designs while managing resource allocations for major projects. You will be responsible for the sophisticated design of SRAM digital circuits, as well as analog or mixed-signal designs where applicable. Your daily work involves performing verification and necessary checking from inception through tape-out using vendor-specific or in-house tools. You will ensure high-quality designs meet strict schedules while mentoring teams during technology bring up and debugging DRC/LVS issues. The role requires expertise in various sophisticated macros and tiles integrated at the SOC level across multiple process nodes. Preferred technical skills include proficiency in scripting languages such as Skill, Perl, TCL, or Python to improve existing tools used by the mask design community.

What you'll do

  • Design sophisticated SRAM digital circuits and potentially analog/mixed-signal designs.
  • Perform verification and necessary checks from initial design through tape-out using internal and vendor tools.
  • Verify designs against physical and electrical checks and guidelines.
  • Execute mask designs for various sophisticated macros and tiles integrated at the SOC level.
  • Debug DRC/LVS issues and mentor the design team during technology bring-up.
  • Lead major projects including resource allocation across domestic and international teams.
  • Improve existing tools utilized by the mask design community.
  • Utilize scripting languages like Skill, Perl, TCL, or Python to support the design flow.

What we're looking for

  • Associate's degree in engineering with proven experience working on sophisticated mask designs.
  • Electrical Engineering degree (preferred).
  • Experience with complete sophisticated design of SRAM digital circuit.
  • Experience finishing verification and necessary checking from beginning through tape-out using vendor specific or in-house tools.
  • Ability to lead major projects including resource allocations both in the US and around the world.
  • Experience as a hands-on mask designer on various sophisticated macros and tiles integrated at SOC level (preferred).
  • Understanding of DRC/LVS debug and ability to mentor design teams in technology bring up (preferred).
  • Understanding of scripting languages such as Skill, Perl, TCL, or Python (preferred).
