Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality analog/mixed-signal IC layouts and create GDS databases using Cadence and Siemens software tools.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to optimize floor-planning, placement, and routing.
• Ensure layout integrity and compliance with foundry wafer fabrication through DRC, LVS, PEX, and PDK.
• Interface with ROIC designers, detector engineers, systems engineers, processors, test, and packaging teams to optimize performance and manufacturability.
• Present weekly updates on project schedules and prepare reports for design reviews and customer presentations.
• Handle Export Controlled Information and follow GTC protocol and jurisdictional classification.
• Release and maintain design documents per ISO quality system requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of industry experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design for CMOS circuits.

Skills

• Expertise in analog/mixed-signal layout design, ideally in 180nm, 130nm, or 75nm process nodes.
• Strong understanding of Calibre verification (DRC, LVS) and troubleshooting techniques.
• Experience with custom cell-based layout and top-level floor planning.
• Technical knowledge of wire resistance, coupling capacitance, and minimizing parasitic effects.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.
• Programming/scripting skills in SKILL, TCL, Shell, or Python.
