Layout Design Engineer

As a Layout Design Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and implementation of layout designs for integrated circuits (ICs) or other electronic components. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate design specifications into physical layouts, ensuring the manufacturability, functionality, and performance of the final product.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement physical layout designs for ICs or electronic components based on design specifications, ensuring adherence to industry standards and design rules.
• Work closely with design engineers, architects, and other cross-functional teams to understand design requirements, constraints, and performance goals.
• Perform layout verification and debugging to ensure design correctness, integrity, and manufacturability.
• Optimize layout designs for area, power, performance, and manufacturability through techniques such as floor planning, placement, and routing.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in layout design methodologies, tools, and technologies, and contribute to the development and improvement of design flows and methodologies.
• Create and maintain design documentation, including layout guidelines, design specifications, and design review reports.
• Ensure the quality and reliability of layout designs by conducting thorough reviews, simulations, and analyses.
• Identify and resolve layout-related issues and challenges, collaborating with team members and stakeholders as necessary.
• Participate in design reviews, post-mortems, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance design processes, methodologies, and tools.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Solid experience in layout design for integrated circuits or electronic components.
• Proficiency in layout design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys IC Compiler, or similar.
• Familiarity with industry-standard design methodologies and tools.
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Python) for automation and tool development is a plus.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and design rules.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills.
