Senior Analog Layout Engineer

Job Title

Senior Analog Layout Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for block-to-top-level physical implementation and tape-out signoff for high-precision analog/mixed-signal products. Works on floorplanning, package implementation and top-level integration within the layout team.

Collaborates with circuit designers and verification teams to ensure manufacturable, high-performance layouts and mentors junior layout engineers.

Experience Level

Senior — the posting specifies a senior role; guidance indicates 5+ years' experience in analog/mixed-signal layout roles.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include physical design, verification, and project coordination for analog products.

• Perform block-to-top-level layout design: floor planning, package implementation, and top-level integration for high-precision analog products.
• Run and resolve physical verification checks including DRC, LVS, antenna, and other signoff checks required for tape-out.
• Apply physical layout techniques to optimize matching, reduce parasitics and layout-dependent effects (LDE), and address ESD and latch-up concerns.
• Implement noise isolation, power/clock planning, DFM-compliant layouts, and address IR drop and EM issues.
• Manage layout schedules and resource allocation; guide and review work from junior layout engineers.
• Coordinate with cross-site/global teams and package designers as needed; support tape-out flow.
• Travel as required for the role (approximately 10%).

Requirements

Technical must-haves and preferred skills for candidates.

Must-have:

• Proven analog/mixed-signal layout experience, including full-chip/block-level layout, place & route coordination, and floor planning.
• Practical experience with physical verification flows (DRC, LVS, antenna checks) and signoff procedures.
• Strong understanding of device structures and circuit topologies used in DACs, ADCs, LDOs, bandgaps, and amplifiers, with emphasis on high-precision designs.
• Solid knowledge of foundry processes, device matching, shielding techniques, ESD/latch-up mitigation, device isolation, EM and IR drop analysis.
• Ability to improve project performance through layout techniques and parasitic-aware design.
• Good written and verbal English communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Extensive experience with top-level layout design and successful tape-outs.
• Familiarity with IC package design and package-level implementation.
• Experience working with global or cross-site engineering teams; strong teamwork and result orientation.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or higher, or an equivalent degree in an EE-related field is specified; equivalent practical experience is acceptable. (The posting pairs the degree expectation with senior-level experience.)
