Layout Engineer, DPG IP DEV Layout

Job Title

Layout Engineer, DPG IP DEV Layout

Role Summary

Work on analog and mixed-signal IP layout for DRAM and high-performance memory applications (AI, HPC, HBM) as part of Micron's DPG-IPDEV team in Bengaluru. The role focuses on block-level layout, full-chip integration support, and collaboration with global engineering teams across multiple projects.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically 3 to 5 years of relevant analog/custom layout experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver high-quality layouts and support physical verification and integration across projects.

• Design and develop critical analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital block layouts; support full-chip integration.
• Perform layout verification (LVS/DRC/antenna checks), quality checks, and maintain supporting documentation.
• Deliver block-level layouts on schedule with acceptable quality metrics.
• Estimate area and schedule, plan execution, and coordinate across multiple concurrent projects.
• Communicate effectively with global engineering teams to ensure successful layout projects.
• Contribute to project-management activities required for tape-outs and release milestones.

Requirements

Key technical skills and experience required or preferred.

• Must-have: 3–5 years' experience in analog/custom layout design for advanced CMOS processes (Planar, FinFET).
• Must-have: Proficient with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre DRC/LVS.
• Must-have: Hands-on layout experience with critical analog blocks (e.g., temperature sensor, PLL, ADC, DAC, LDO, bandgap, reference generators, charge pump, current mirrors, comparators, differential amplifiers).
• Strong understanding of analog layout fundamentals: matching, electromigration, latch-up, coupling/crosstalk, IR-drop, device parasitics, and their effects on speed, capacitance, power, and area.
• Ability to interpret design constraints, implement high-quality layouts, and follow design hierarchy and memory-design architectures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills in physical verification and clear verbal and written communication.
• Nice-to-have: Multiple tape-out support experience; proactive use of AI-related tools to improve productivity.

Education Requirements

BE or MTech in Electronics / VLSI Engineering.
