Analog Layout Engineer
Semiconductor • Bangalore • 3-8 Years
Job Description
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Analog Layout Engineer to join our VLSI design team in Bangalore. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in custom analog/mixed-signal layout design and a deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes. You will work closely with circuit designers to develop high-performance, area-efficient, and manufacturable layouts for advanced technology nodes.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement full-custom analog and mixed-signal layouts for blocks such as:
- PLLs
- ADC/DAC
- LDOs
- Bandgap references
- Charge pumps
- SRAM/compiler-related analog blocks
- Perform floorplanning, device matching, routing, shielding, and parasitic-aware layout techniques.
- Ensure layouts meet DRC, LVS, ERC, and EM/IR requirements.
- Work closely with circuit design and verification teams for layout optimization and silicon debug.
- Handle extraction and post-layout simulation support.
- Follow best practices for reliability, matching, and noise-sensitive designs.
- Support tape-out activities and coordinate with foundry requirements.
- Contribute to layout methodology improvements and automation initiatives.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/ECE/VLSI or a related field.
- 3–8 years of hands-on experience in analog/custom layout design.
- Strong understanding of:
- Analog layout concepts
- Matching techniques
- Common centroid layout
- Guard rings, shielding, and latch-up prevention
- ESD and reliability rules
- Experience with advanced process nodes (180nm to 5nm preferred).
- Proficiency in layout tools such as:
- Cadence Virtuoso
- Calibre
- Assura/PVS
- Good understanding of DRC/LVS/ERC and parasitic extraction flows.
- Knowledge of FinFET technology is an added advantage.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate across cross-functional teams.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with high-speed or low-power analog designs.
- Exposure to mixed-signal SoC environments.
- Scripting knowledge in SKILL, Python, or TCL is a plus.
- Prior experience in complete chip tape-outs.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge semiconductor technologies.
- Collaborative and innovation-driven work environment.
- Career growth opportunities with leading VLSI programs.
- Competitive compensation and benefits.
