Analog Layout Engineer - DRC/LVS/VLSI

Job Title : Analog Layout Engineer

Location : Bangalore/Bhopal

Experience Required : 5+ Years

Job Summary :

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Analog Layout Engineer with a strong background in custom layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits. You will be responsible for block-level and top-level layout, working closely with circuit designers to ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability of silicon.

Key Responsibilities :

- Execute full-custom layout of analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., Op-Amps, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, LDOs, Bandgaps).

- Perform transistor-level layout using tools like Virtuoso (Cadence).

- Work closely with circuit designers to understand schematics and layout requirements.

- Drive floorplanning, placement, routing, and matching with a focus on parasitic optimization and area efficiency.

- Conduct Layout Versus Schematic (LVS), Design Rule Check (DRC), Antenna, and Electromigration (EM/IR) checks.

- Handle layout integration at top level including planning, hierarchy management, and routing.

- Support design sign-off processes and deliver GDSII on schedule.

Required Skills :

- Proficiency in analog custom layout tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, Assura).

- Strong knowledge of analog layout techniques: matching, shielding, symmetry, parasitic reduction.

- Good understanding of semiconductor physics and layout impact on circuit performance.

- Hands-on experience with deep sub-micron CMOS technologies (e.g., 28nm, 16nm or below).

- Experience in floorplanning and top-level integration.

- Ability to interpret and resolve DRC/LVS/ERC issues independently.

Preferred Qualifications :

- B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, VLSI, or a related field.

- Experience in FinFET process technologies is a plus.

- Basic understanding of analog circuit functionality to support layout decisions.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
