Staff Layout Designer

Job Title

Staff Layout Designer

Role Summary

Lead and execute physical layout for advanced NAND products, including complex analog and custom digital blocks. Oversee floor-planning, placement, routing, parasitic modeling, and tape-out revisions while coordinating with cross-functional teams.

Experience Level

Senior. No specific years-of-experience requirement provided.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include design and integration of analog and custom digital circuitry, ownership of the layout process, and mentoring junior designers.

• Design, implement, and integrate complex analog circuits (CMOS amplifiers, comparators, bandgaps, LDOs, charge pumps, oscillators, DLLs, IO buffers, analog test mux, process monitors, temperature sensors) for advanced NAND products.
• Design and integrate synchronous and asynchronous custom digital blocks.
• Lead layout activities: floor-planning, placement, routing, and reticle/tape-out revisions.
• Perform parasitic modeling and support design validation and reticle experiments.
• Collaborate with Probe, Assembly, Test, Process Integration, Product Engineering, CAD, modeling, and verification teams to ensure manufacturability and improve layout quality.
• Mentor and lead junior designers and contribute to standardization across groups.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience inferred from the role description; no explicit degree requirement listed in the source.

Must have:

• Proven experience in physical layout of analog circuits and custom digital blocks.
• Experience with floor-planning, placement, routing, and tape-out processes including parasitic extraction/modeling.
• Ability to coordinate with test, process integration, and product engineering for manufacturability.
• Experience mentoring or leading other layout designers.

Nice to have:

• Experience with memory (NAND) product layouts and mixed-signal integration.
• Familiarity with CAD, modeling, and verification tool flows used for layout and parasitic analysis.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
