Staff Engineer, IP Dev Layout

Job Title

Staff Engineer, IP Dev Layout

Role Summary

Design and develop analog, mixed-signal and custom digital block layouts and support full-chip integration for advanced CMOS processes. Lead layout verification, quality checks, scheduling and delivery while coordinating with global engineering teams.

Experience Level

Senior — 8 to 15 years of relevant experience in analog/custom layout and physical verification.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include layout implementation, verification, delivery and project coordination.

• Design and develop layouts for critical analog, mixed-signal and custom digital blocks; support block- and chip-level integration.
• Perform physical verification (LVS, DRC, Antenna checks), conduct quality checks, and produce support documentation.
• Estimate area and time, plan schedules, and drive on-time delivery across multiple concurrent projects.
• Coordinate with global engineering teams and contribute to effective project management and execution.
• Support multiple tape-outs and manage build hierarchy and memory design architectures.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools, and behaviors.

• Proven experience in analog/custom layout for advanced CMOS nodes (Planar, FinFET).
• Expertise with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre DRC/LVS.
• Hands-on experience creating layouts for critical 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, electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR-drop, and device parasitics.
• Ability to assess layout impact on circuit speed, capacitance, power, and area; implement high-quality layouts under build constraints.
• Excellent problem-solving skills in physical verification and effective verbal and written communication.
• Proactive in exploring and applying AI-related tools in daily tasks.
• Multiple tape-out support experience is a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Engineering (BE) or MTech in Electronics / VLSI Engineering specified.
