Senior Engineer - HIG HBM Layout

Job Title

Senior Engineer - HIG HBM Layout

Role Summary

Join the HBM layout team in Guadalajara to design and deliver high-quality custom and mixed-signal layouts for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) used in AI and high-performance computing applications. The role works across Micron’s global engineering teams on multiple concurrent projects.

Primary mission: produce robust, manufacturable block- and chip-level layouts on schedule and mentor other layout engineers.

Experience Level

Senior level. Minimum guidance: 7+ years of experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS processes (planar and FinFET).

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include hands-on layout work, verification, project execution, and team coordination.

• Design and develop critical analog, mixed-signal, custom-digital blocks and support full-chip integration.
• Perform physical verification tasks (LVS/DRC/antenna checks), quality assurance, and documentation of layouts.
• Deliver block-level layouts on schedule with acceptable quality for tape-out.
• Plan and estimate area/time, schedule tasks, delegate work, and drive execution across multiple projects.
• Review and guide junior and peer layout engineers on sub-block layouts and implementation details.
• Communicate effectively with global engineering teams to ensure layout objectives are met.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• 7+ years' experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS processes (planar and FinFET).
• Proven expertise with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre (DRC/LVS).
• Hands-on experience creating layouts for critical analog blocks such as temperature sensors, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, reference generators, charge pumps, current mirrors, comparators, differential amplifiers.
• Solid knowledge of analog layout fundamentals: matching, electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR drop, and parasitics.
• Understanding of how layout impacts circuit metrics (speed, capacitance, power, area) and ability to implement constraints accordingly.
• Ability to produce high-quality layouts and meet project schedules in a multi-project environment.
• Effective communicator and collaborator with distributed engineering teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience supporting multiple tape-outs and managing several layout projects concurrently.
• Advanced problem-solving skills in physical verification of custom layouts.

Education Requirements

BE or MTech in Electronics/VLSI Engineering or a closely related engineering field.
