Job Description:
͏
What you will be doing:
• Manage the complete custom layout process for SRAM bitcell arrays, memory periphery, test structures, and memory macros in advanced CMOS technologies.
• Develop and improve floorplans for SRAM and memory blocks, covering array layout, periphery positioning, power grid design, routing channels, and macro assembly.
• Carry out, debug, and complete DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, and associated physical verification checks with tools such as Calibre, ICV, or similar workflows.
• Support EM/IR review, power integrity, density/fill, DFM, dummy insertion, layout-dependent effects, and other requirements for tapeout.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to convert schematics into layouts, ensuring matching, symmetry, shielding, parasitic targets, and reliability constraints are maintained.
• Collaborate with PnR and integration teams to resolve top-level DRC/LVS, pin access, boundary, routing, power-grid, and macro-integration issues.
• Implement and advance layout methodology, checklists, reusable practices, and quality standards for consistent memory IP delivery.
• Collaborate with foundry, CAD, and methodology teams on rule interpretation, deck behavior, waivers, and advanced-node process constraints.
• Review layouts, mentor junior engineers, and help raise layout quality and execution rigor across the team.
What we need to see:
• Have a BSEE or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of custom IC layout experience, including 5+ years in SRAM, memory compiler, or full-custom memory IP layout.
• Hands-on participation in advanced CMOS technology initiatives, preferably concentrating on FinFET or GAA nodes at 5nm, 3nm, or smaller dimensions.
• Solid grasp of SRAM and memory layout principles.
• Extensive experience in Cadence Virtuoso applied to custom layout creation and assessment.
• Extensive experience in DRC/LVS debugging using Calibre, ICV, or similar physical verification tools.
• Experience with floorplanning, block-level routing, macro assembly, pin planning, boundary/interface management, and top-level physical verification.
• Direct familiarity with advanced-node layout limitations and layout-dependent phenomena, including LOD, density/fill, matching, symmetry, shielding, electromigration, IR drop, and DFM or similar expertise.
• Ability to work effectively with circuit build, physical build, integration, CAD, and foundry teams.
• Clear communication, strong ownership, good judgment, and the ability to mentor other engineers.
• Knowledge of layout automation or AI tools is a definite plus.
Mandatory Skills: Analog Layout.
Experience: 3-5 Years.
The expected compensation for this role ranges from $45,000 to $121,000 .
