Analog Layout Design Engineer

Job Description

Looking for highly talented mid senior to senior layout design engineers for Programmable Solution Group in Intel.

Job requires the engineer to Design complex layouts of analog circuits for a given design specification and runs complete set of design verification tools for process design rules, electron migration, voltage drop (IR), ESD, and other reliability checks on the layouts. Designs and analyzes floorplans, power grid, ESD, bumps, and performs all required verification on the analog blocks. Performs the micro floor planning and detail signal planning of complex analog circuits to meet performance and electrical requirements (shielding, matching) for critical signals to optimize for area, power, RV, and performance. Develops and drives new and innovative analog layout methodologies to improve layout productivity and quality. Collaborates with analog circuit design to meet design specifications, plan work, and negotiate layout tradeoffs as needed. Troubleshoots a wide variety of issues up to and including design and tool/flow/methodology used in analog layout design.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualification -

• Candidate should possess at least bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Should have 3-8 years of Analog and mixed signal layout Experience in deep submicron CMOS technologies.

Preferred Qualification -

• At least 2 years of relevant experience of High speed SerDes building blocks layout design.
• Good understanding of complex designs mainly CTLE, ADC, DACs, Current Bias, RefGen, PLLs, high speed Clock distribution, High speed amplifiers, LDOs etc.
• Sound basics of CMOS transistor and layout effects impacting performance and yield.
• Should be able to handle critical Custom analog blocks from Receiver or Transmitter by accurately coming up with effort estimation, creating precise execution plan which may be independent work or lead small team.
• Works with leads on Top level layout, provides inputs for efficient floorplan.
• Very good understanding of LV, RV and ESD Tools and basic understanding of these domains.
• Good work experience in all flows and tools like Virtuoso/CustomCompiler, Hercules/ICV/Calibre for LV, Redhawk/Voltus/Totem for RV, Extraction tools like StarRC and PERC flow for ESD.
• Good knowledge of Design Rule Decks
