Key Responsibilities

Create and optimize floorplans for analog and mixed-signal blocks in advanced 7nm FinFET technology.

Translate sub-block schematics into physical layouts while maintaining hierarchy and design intent.

Perform detailed transistor-level and block-level layout implementation for high-speed circuits.

Ensure layout matches parameterized devices (PCells) and simulation hierarchy on a one-to-one basis.

Follow design documentation, review comments, customer feedback, and back-annotation requirements during layout execution.

Perform and resolve Design Rule Check (DRC) violations until the layout is fully clean.

Perform and resolve Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) discrepancies until successful signoff.

Ensure layouts comply with all foundry-specific design rules and reliability requirements.

Generate extracted netlists for post-layout simulations and back-annotation activities.

Work closely with Design Engineers (DEs) to support post-layout verification and performance closure.

Document layout methodologies, notes, and implementation details in block review documents.

Participate in design reviews and implement corrective actions resulting from layout reviews.

Optimize layout for area, matching, parasitics, signal integrity, electromigration (EM), and manufacturability.
Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field.
