Layout Engineer

You will be responsible for developing the physical layout of CMOS/BiCDMOS Integrated Circuit designs used in high-performance, high-speed analog ICs for SerDes applications, as well as for Automotive and Industrial Battery Management Systems. These products will enable the next generation of data communication systems using high-speed wireline transmission and empower the electrification of vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality. You will work closely with circuit design engineers both locally and overseas to deliver robust, high-quality layouts that meet stringent performance, signal integrity and reliability requirements.

Key responsiblities:
Design high-quality block and top block-level IC layouts for analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed interface circuits

Ensure that designs comply with foundry-specific rule like the DRC and LVS and support post-layout extraction and debugging

Apply good layout techniques to meet matching, signal integrity, reliability requirements and good post layout performance

Apply the best practices for 28nm, 22nm planar CMOS and FinFET technologies, including device placement, routing constraints and process-specific rules

Collaborate closely with circuit designers and layout designers to optimize layout performance

Contribute to layout methodology improvements, automation scripts and documentation

Prepare and maintain accurate documentation of layout output, verification result judgement and explain them during design review

Requirements

:

Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics/ Electrical Engineering or Diploma with relevant experience

Good knowledge in IC layout design, verification and design rule checking

Proficiency in IC design software, such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys IC Compiler and Mentor Graphics Calibre

Strong understanding of CMOS design principles, semiconductor manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturability techniques

Good problem-solving skills, attention to detail and capability to work effectively in a team environment with good communication skills

Experience with 28nm, 22nm planar CMOS and FinFET technologies will be a plus

2-5 years of analog IC layout design experience will be a plus. Fresh graduates from semiconductor(IC) design related course are also welcome to apply.
