Analog Layout Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog Layout Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead and execute physical layout for analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits at the Penang engineering site. Work closely with circuit designers and foundry partners to deliver manufacturable layouts that meet performance, area, and reliability targets.

Role includes planning schedules, performing physical verification, participating in design reviews, and mentoring junior layout engineers.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 6+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC layout experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and perform layout for analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to translate requirements and constraints into layout implementations.
• Plan and manage layout schedules, resources, and deliverables to meet project timelines.
• Perform floorplanning, placement, and routing while optimizing for area, performance, and manufacturability.
• Conduct physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC, RV) and resolve issues.
• Drive and participate in design reviews; provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.
• Interface with foundry partners to ensure compliance with process rules and manufacturing best practices.
• Document design methodology and maintain layout guidelines for future projects.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 6+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC layout design.
• Expert proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor Graphics (or equivalents).
• Deep understanding of analog layout sensitivities: matching, parasitics, noise mitigation, shielding, and related techniques.
• Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Experience mentoring or leading layout engineers is a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
