About the role
Deliver Schematic-to-Graphic Database System (GDS) layouts for cutting-edge, high-performance, high-speed, low-power IP designs, including interconnectivity solutions and foundational Analog circuit blocks. Execute these layouts across multiple process nodes, including deep Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET), following industry best practices. Develop plans for Analog Mask Layout execution and follow processes and methodologies to deliver IP blocks. Coordinate tasks with junior layout team members as needed. Using Cadence Virtuoso (or other equivalent) design tools and flows; perform layout implementation of analog-intensive IPs and help establish flows, methodologies, and processes for execution alongside peers. Support the on-boarding and off-boarding of contingent layout staff and vendor partners as needed; help direct their day-to-day execution to ensure quality and schedule are met. Work with other members of
the team to deliver IPs, including project planning, schedule tracking, and report generation. Follow, augment, or put in place processes and methodologies for high-quality execution alongside peers. Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ year(s) experience in industry or in a research and development environment, could include completion of a post doctoral research position OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment OR Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment OR equivalent experience. Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency (e.g., performance modeling and analysis, research gathering, day to day task automation). Ability to work in an “AI-first” environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through hardware development. 10+ years of experience in Analog Mask Layout execution and IP delivery, including delivery of medium-to-large complexity analog blocks into mass production. 5+ years of lead experience covering day-to-day task coordination and overall delivery
