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.
