Design Layout Engineer

Job Title

Design Layout Engineer

Role Summary

Design Layout Engineer on the HBM team in Guadalajara responsible for creating and delivering high-quality analog, mixed-signal and custom-digital layouts for High Bandwidth Memory projects. Works across Micron's global engineering teams on multiple concurrent projects to meet schedule and integration targets.

Focus on layout implementation, verification (LVS/DRC/antenna), documentation, and coordination to support AI and high-performance computing applications.

Experience Level

Mid-level — approximately 5 years of relevant analog/custom layout design experience in CMOS processes including Planar and FinFET nodes.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include block-level and full-chip layout implementation, verification, and project coordination.

• Design and develop analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital block layouts and support full-chip integration.
• Perform physical verification checks such as LVS, DRC, and antenna checks; perform quality checks and maintain documentation.
• Deliver block-level layouts on schedule with required quality standards.
• Plan and estimate area/time, schedule work, delegate tasks, and execute in a multi-project environment.
• Communicate effectively with global engineering teams to ensure successful layout delivery.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• Proven hands-on experience creating layout of critical analog blocks (temperature sensor, PLL, ADC, DAC, LDO, bandgap, reference generators, charge pump, current mirrors, comparators, differential amplifiers).
• Expertise with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre (DRC/LVS).
• Solid knowledge of analog layout fundamentals (matching, electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR-drop, parasitic devices).
• Ability to assess layout effects on circuit performance (speed, capacitance, power, area) and implement design constraints.
• Experience supporting multiple layout projects and managing tape-out schedules.

Nice-to-have:

• Multiple tape-out support experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills in physical verification of custom layouts.

Education Requirements

BE or MTech in Electronics/VLSI Engineering or a related technical field (specified in the posting).
