Description

Job Title: Sr. Analog Physical Design Engineer
 
Job Duties:
 
  • Work on detailed column ADC circuit design, with a focus on column layout design. Collaborating with other column ADC designers to optimize column ADC’s performance with minimum silicon area.
  • Conduct cross products column ADC layout comparison and IP layout development and maintenance.
  • Perform RCX extraction of column circuit and critical signals parasitic analysis and propose optimized design to improve column ADC performance and image quality.
  • Conduct image sensor pixel array and column ADC supply analysis using Totem or other methodologies, including worst case P2P resistor extraction, and optimize chip floorplan and power routing.
  • Study design rules for new processes and provide physical design guidelines to the design team. Debug and develop Calibre svrf files when needed.
  • Apply SKILL script to improve productivity and design robustness.
  • Responsible for full-custom analog IC layout and physical verification (DRC/ANT/DFM/ERC/LVS)using industry-standard tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre. 
  • Execute top-level layout and coordinate layout resources and schedules for all modules.
  • Perform floor planning and placements including pad locations, power/clock domain planning, ESD, integration of AMS and digital blocks, and chip-level routing strategy.
  • Lead top-level implementation from floorplan through GDS tape-out. 
  • Develop and maintain layout methodologies and documentation to ensure efficient and consistent design practices. 
 
Requirements:
 
Require Master’s degree or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field.
 
Require 2 years of experience in CMOS image sensor IC layout design.
 
Require the following experience or skills:
  • Semiconductor process and device fundamentals, with expertise in addressing advanced technology nodes challenges.
  • Experience in image sensor manufacturing technology, performance metrics, and system-level integration in camera applications. 
  • Experience with industry standard EDA tools, such as Cadence Virtuoso, PVS, Spectre, Innovus, Skipper, Siemens Calibre, Synopsys Hspice, Design Compiler, IC Compiler, PrimeTime, Laker and P2P. 
  • Front-end and back-end ASIC design flows.
  • Experience in stacked chip process flow and related design considerations.
  • Skills in interpreting physical verification reports (DRC,DFM, ERC, LVS, etc.) and understanding SVRF rule files.
  • Advanced layout skills such as common-centroid layouts, symmetrical layouts, use of dummy devices, matching, ESD, latch-up, antenna effects, etc.
  • Understanding of layout impact on device matching, noise coupling, guard-ring, electromigration, isolation and IR drop.
  • Developing CAD flow automation using scripting languages like Perl, Skill, and Tcl.
  • Expertise in low-power, high-precision, high speed analog layout design techniques.
  • Solving crosstalk challenges between adjacent column ADCs in image sensor circuits.
 
Annual base salary for this role in California, US is expected to be between $156,853 - $160,000. Actual pay will be determined on a number of factors such as relevant skills and experience, and the pay of employees in the similar role.
