Position Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Senior or Staff Analog Layout Engineer to play a vital role in developing cutting-edge full-custom electronic transceiver components that interface directly with our custom silicon photonics and are essential to our revolutionary photonic AI platform.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform custom IC layout execution of high-speed analog/RF circuits.

  • Optimize layout solutions to meet stringent TSMC manufacturing constraints, DFM rules, and antenna restrictions.

  • Deliver IP-level floor planning, power planning, and signal distribution, implementing layout techniques for strict ESD and Latch-up prevention.

  • Execute and debug block-level design sign-offs, including DRC (Design Rule Check), LVS (Layout Versus Schematic), and RC Extraction using standard industry tools.

  • Evaluate layout trade-offs among area, yield, and performance; implement the power and clock delivery networks to ensure power and signal integrity.

  • Cook up and coordinate directly with circuit designers, CAD engineers, and EDA vendors to ensure IP design fits seamlessly into the production flow.

Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

  • 3-8+ years of professional custom or block-level IC layout experience in deep-submicron, advanced FinFET/GAA nodes (3nm, 2nm, etc.).

  • Mastery of industry-standard EDA tools for layout and verification (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, Mentor Calibre, Siemens ICV).

  • Deep understanding of deep-submicron layout techniques, parasitic reduction, matching strategies, and electro-migration (EM/IR).

Preferred Skills

  • Domain knowledge in laying out high-performance analog/mixed signal blocks, such as PLLs and Data Converters (ADC/DAC).

  • Working knowledge of layout automation scripting languages (e.g., TCL, Perl, Python).

Benefits

  • 100% coverage of base health plan premiums for you and your dependents, plus HSA contributions.

  • Unlimited PTO. No rigid vacation banks, just a focus on delivery.

  • 401(k) matching and stock option opportunities to ensure our success is your success.

  • Full suite of voluntary benefits, including Dental, Vision, Life, Hospital, Critical Illness, and Accident insurance.

  • Personalized Benefits. Choose the plans that fit your life and take the cash back for those that don’t.
