Analog Designer (1 year contract)
About The Position
The full custom IC layout group is looking for a candidate to design the layout for digital and analog circuits based on schematics using industry leading CAD tools and cutting edge foundry technology. Examples of layout designed by our team include Phase Locked Loop (PLL), Delay Locked Loop (DLL), Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), Current Regulator, High Speed Differential Signaling circuitry, Droop Detect, and Die Crack Monitor. Proficiency in 2D layout design while being able to visualize in 3D space are traits ideal for this position. It is useful to have knowledge of digital and analog circuitry at the CMOS transistor level. The candidate will be able to see through the different stages of a project development – from initial floor planning and routing of low level logic gates through top level integration of numerous blocks and ultimately, project tape out related tasks. Day to day responsibilities include layout of lower level cells, assembly of these lower level cells into macros/pads and assembly of these macros/pads into an I/O ring database. You will be running various verification tools at all levels of the design hierarchy. These include DRC, LVS, EM/IR, ERC and Latch up/ESD. Prior experience training and leading junior resources preferred.
Requirements
- Detailed knowledge of CMOS circuit theory
- Ability to communicate with various teams to articulate specs and requirements as they pertain to layout
- Layout design and verification experience using Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor Calibre tools
- At least 2-5 years of relevant or comparable experience doing layout design
- Electrical/Computer Engineering Degree and/or Electronics related Diploma
Nice To Haves
- Experience in the 7nm/5nm space
- Knowledge of chip level integration and ESD concepts
- Perl programming, TCL and SKILL programming
Responsibilities
- Layout of basic digital and analog building blocks using analog transistor level components
- Layout of analog macros, power pads, and input/output pads using above blocks
- Creation of blackbox models for other groups in the design flow
- Verification of layout using Cadence and Calibre tools
