SERDES and Mixed-Signal Layout-Mask Designer

In this position you will play a key role in contributing to the development of advanced mixed signal layout for low power, high-speed, SERDES, sensors, PLL and other macros to be used in numerous products from high performance data center SOCs to low power consumer SOCs.

You will join a highly collaborative team, and your success will have a significant impact on our products.

Candidate should have an interest in all the “Key Qualifications” listed, and significant experience in some of them.

Key Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of hands on layout design experience
• Experience in layout of high-speed SerDes blocks and PLLs in advanced Fin-FET process
• Experience using layout design and verification tools
• Experience in floor planning, power grid design, signal routing and repeaters
• Good understanding of clock routing and shielding
• Good understanding of analog and mixed signal layout fundamentals, IR, EM, self and coupling capacitances, RC delay and self-heating
• Ability to learn and ramp on new tools and methodologies
• Ability to estimate realistic schedule, track and report clear progress and status
• Excellent team player and work closely with the circuit design team

Description:

• Layout design of advanced SERDES and other analog and mixed signal macros in deep Sub-Micron Fin-FET technologies
• Tasks include planning and implementing block and top level floor-planning, power distribution network, clock and signal routing, analog and mixed signal transistor level layout
• DRC, LVS and other physical verification tools
• Participate in post-layout circuit performance analysis
• Estimate and track schedules
