Staff Engineer - DEG Layout

Job Title

Staff Engineer - DEG Layout

Role Summary

Staff-level layout engineer on the DEG/layout team based in Bengaluru. Responsible for designing and delivering analog, mixed-signal, custom digital blocks, standard cells and full-chip layouts in advanced CMOS processes.

Focus areas include layout development, physical verification, automation and collaboration with global engineering teams to meet tape-out schedules and quality targets.

Experience Level

Senior — typical experience range: 10 to 14 years in analog/custom layout design.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development, verification and delivery of layout blocks and support of full-chip integration.

• Develop layout for critical analog, mixed-signal, custom digital blocks, standard cells and full-chip level.
• Perform physical verification: LVS, DRC, antenna checks, matching, latch-up, EM/IR/Totem checks and quality documentation.
• Implement digital block layouts using automatic placement-and-route tools where applicable.
• Estimate area/time, plan schedules, delegate tasks and drive on-time delivery across multiple projects.
• Mentor and review work of junior engineers and coordinate with global engineering teams.
• Drive layout automation and reduction of layout effort using scripting and AI tools.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.

• 10–14 years relevant experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS processes.
• Proven expertise with Cadence (VLE/VXL) and Mentor Graphics Calibre DRC/LVS.
• Hands-on experience creating layouts for blocks such as temperature sensors, PLL, ADC, DAC, LDO, bandgap, reference generators, charge pumps, current mirrors, comparators and differential amplifiers.
• Strong understanding of analog layout fundamentals: matching, electro-migration, latch-up, coupling/crosstalk, IR-drop, parasitics and their impact on speed, capacitance, power and area.
• Ability to translate design constraints into high-quality, manufacturable layouts and to perform physical verification troubleshooting.
• Experience automating layout tasks and applying AI-assisted methods to reduce effort.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to work with global teams.
• Nice to have: multiple tape-out support experience.
