About IC Enable
For over 20 years IC Enable has successfully provided design IP, IC products, services, and platform solutions to demanding customers ranging from startups to Fortune 50 members. Our design and product offerings focus on high-reliability mixed-signal and digital markets, while our platform solutions support IDM, foundry, and IP providers.
Now is an exciting time to join our team as we continue advancing technology development, full-custom ASIC / SoC, and electronics solutions across the Semiconductor, Medical, and Defense industries, including some of the industry’s most challenging fabrication processes and product applications.
Position Overview
IC Enable is seeking an experienced RFIC Layout Design Engineer to join our growing team. In this role, you will work closely with RF designers and layout engineers to develop high-quality transistor-level layouts for advanced RF and analog circuit blocks in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
The ideal candidate will bring strong experience with advanced FinFET technology nodes, custom RF/analog layout techniques, and physical verification flows while thriving in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.
Key Responsibilities
• Develop detailed custom transistor-level layouts for RF and analog circuit blocks including:
Bandgap / Bias / LDO
ADC/DAC
Baseband Filters
Modulators
Power Amplifiers
PLL and LO Generation
LNA and Mixer circuits
• Perform and support full physical verification flows including:
DRC
LVS
ERC
DFM
Parasitic extraction
• Ensure layout quality related to:
Power and ground routing
Electromigration reliability
Signal integrity and coupling
Differential and IQ matching
High-frequency routing considerations
• Collaborate closely with RF designers, circuit designers, and layout teams to resolve design and verification issues efficiently
• Contribute to layout methodology improvements and maintain high-quality design standards throughout the tapeout process
Minimum Qualifications
• Minimum 5 years of industry experience in custom RF/analog layout
• Experience with advanced FinFET technology nodes including TSMC/Samsung 7nm, 5nm, and 4nm
• High proficiency interpreting Calibre DRC, ERC, and LVS results
• Strong experience with Cadence layout tools
• Deep understanding of custom RF/analog layout techniques in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies
Preferred Qualifications
• Knowledge of guard rings, DNW, PN junctions, and advanced process effects including LOD and WPE
• Experience with device matching, parasitic reduction, RF shielding, and high-frequency routing techniques
• Strong understanding of RC delay, electromigration, and signal coupling effects
• Experience supporting high-performance mixed-signal and RFIC designs through tapeout
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional engineering teams
Why Join IC Enable
At IC Enable, we know our most valuable asset is our team. We are seeking individuals who are excited to grow with us and contribute to a culture built around people who are humble, hungry, and smart.
IC Enable benefits include:
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Ancillary Benefits
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies and cutting-edge applications
IC Enable is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
