Design Layout Engineer

Job Title

Design Layout Engineer

Role Summary

The Design Layout Engineer will perform physical implementation for advanced NAND Flash products within the Non-Volatile NAND Design Engineering group. The role covers analog, mixed-signal and custom digital layout, integration, and methodology development focused on automation and data-driven optimization.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No specific years-of-experience requirement stated.

Responsibilities

Main responsibilities include:

• Design and implement complex analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital layout blocks (charge pumps, regulators, oscillators, IO, sensors).
• Perform layout integration: floorplanning, placement, routing, and parasitic-aware optimization.
• Support design validation through parasitic extraction, simulation correlation, silicon learning, and tape-out revisions.
• Collaborate with CAD, modeling, product engineering and build teams to meet manufacturability, quality, and performance targets.
• Develop and drive automation and AI-assisted layout methodologies (parameterized layout, scripting, data-driven optimization).
• Contribute to methodology improvement and user documentation.

Requirements

Core requirements and preferred skills.

• Must-have: Hands-on experience with layout and verification tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre LVS/DRC.
• Understanding of advanced layout techniques: matching, shielding, EM, ESD, latch-up and high-voltage design constraints.
• Experience with AI-assisted design methodologies or data-driven optimization approaches.
• Strong problem-solving skills and effective communication in multi-functional teams.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with scripting and automation (Python) applied to layout or design flows.
• Experience in NAND Flash or other non-volatile memory technologies.
• Experience collaborating on silicon validation, bring-up, or yield improvement.

Education Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Data Science, or a related technical field; equivalent practical experience is explicitly considered.
