Senior Staff Analog Layout Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Staff Analog Layout Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and optimize analog/mixed-signal IC layouts to meet performance, matching, and noise requirements for high-reliability products used in data centers and servers. Work within a product engineering team with support from tools and process engineers.

Role includes physical layout, floorplanning, parasitic extraction and verification, and collaboration with circuit designers to tune performance. The position follows a hybrid work model with two remote days per week and in-office days Tuesday–Thursday.

Experience Level

Senior — requires demonstrated experience; posting specifies 3+ years in analog layout design.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include:

• Perform analog layout design for mixed-signal and analog IP using commercial CAD (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso).
• Create and optimize floorplans to meet performance and area targets.
• Perform parasitic extraction (PEX) and run simulation-based verification.
• Optimize layouts for matching, shielding, and noise mitigation.
• Run DRC/LVS checks and implement required fixes.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to tune and validate performance.
• Work on products including general-purpose ICs for data centers/servers, power ICs, interface ICs, and high-precision digital power monitors.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 3+ years of practical experience in analog circuit layout design.
• Experience with layout CAD tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
• Practical understanding and experience with physical verification flows (DRC, LVS, PEX).
• Basic analog circuit knowledge (op amps, comparators, ADC/DAC, power circuits).
• Understanding of layout techniques for matching, shielding, and noise mitigation.
• Japanese: business level; English: reading and writing.

Nice-to-have:

• Layout experience in advanced process nodes or BCD processes.
• Layout experience for power ICs or high-speed interface ICs.
• ESD protection circuit layout experience.
• Analog circuit simulation experience (Spectre) related to layout analysis.
• Experience working in Linux-based environments.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
