About The Position

The IC Layout Engineer position within the High Performance Analog (HPA) division is
responsible for developing and verifying integrated-circuit (IC) layouts in close collaboration with design engineers, supporting programs from initial floorplanning through tapeout. The position uses industry-standard EDA tools to complete schematic capture, physical verification (DRC/LVS), and documentation in support of GaAs, Silicon, and GaN technologies.
This is a hybrid position where the expectation is to be onsite in our Richardson TX office a minimum of four days a week.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of IC layout experience, including schematic-driven layout and physical verification (DRC/LVS).
• Experience using Keysight ADS.
• Ability to quickly learn new process design kits (PDKs), design rules, and internal workflows.
• Self-motivated and detail-oriented, with strong communication, analytical, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with GaAs, GaN and Silicon processes.
• Experience using Cadence AWR, and Cadence Virtuoso
• Demonstrated attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality deliverables in an R&D environment.
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux environments.

Responsibilities

• Partner with design engineers to develop IC layouts from initial floorplan through tapeout.
• Create cell-level and chip-level layouts, including placement, routing, and hierarchy management.
• Perform schematic entry and layout-versus-schematic (LVS) and design-rule-check (DRC) verification; resolve issues to closure.
• Use EDA tool Keysight ADS for schematic capture, layout, and physical verification.
• Support multiple semiconductor technologies (GaAs, Silicon, and GaN)
• Create laminate/substrate designs and assembly drawings as needed to support packaging and integration.
• Develop and maintain documentation and training materials to support engineering workflows and best practices.
