Senior Layout Designer

Job Title

Senior Layout Designer

Role Summary

Senior Layout Designer responsible for producing high-quality analog and mixed-signal IC layouts, owning floor-planning, placement and routing for mid-size and periphery blocks. Works with design, CAD and verification teams to meet schedule and quality targets.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Posting requests 4+ years of layout experience.

Responsibilities

The role focuses on execution and ownership of layout tasks and coordination across teams.

• Produce and deliver high-quality layouts for mid-size blocks in core/pitch and periphery areas.
• Perform floor-planning, placement, routing and signoff preparation for analog, digital and array circuits.
• Debug and resolve LVS, DRC and layout-related issues; execute ECO, LCO and DFM fixes.
• Implement layouts for critical analog blocks (temperature sensor, PLL, ADC, DAC, LDO, bandgap, reference generators, charge pumps, current mirrors, comparators, differential amplifiers, etc.).
• Coordinate with design, TD, CAD and verification teams to meet schedule and quality targets.
• Apply and adapt layout techniques across array, digital and analog domains; leverage automation and AI tools where appropriate.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience required to perform the role.

• 4+ years of hands-on layout experience (analog/mixed-signal focus).
• Proficiency with Cadence VXL for periphery block layout.
• Strong LVS, DRC and layout debug/problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated layout experience for critical analog blocks listed above.
• Solid understanding of analog layout fundamentals: matching, electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR-drop, parasitics.
• Knowledge of how layout affects circuit performance: speed, capacitance, power and area.
• Experience managing layout flow: floor-planning, placement, routing, and adherence to design rules.
• Experience executing ECO/LCO/DFM changes and coordinating cross-functional delivery.
• Familiarity with layout automation and ability to leverage AI-enabled tools to improve productivity.
