Leadsoc Technologies - Senior Memory Layout Engineer

Description :

Senior Memory Layout Engineer. Location Bengaluru.

About the Role :

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Memory Layout Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in custom memory design and layout. In this role, you will be responsible for developing high-density, low-power memory layouts at advanced technology nodes, ensuring manufacturability, reliability, and performance for next-generation SoCs.

Responsibilities :

- Own end-to-end layout design of SRAM, Register Files, CAMs, and other custom memory blocks.

- Perform floorplanning, device placement, routing, and optimization for area, power, and performance.

- Ensure DRC/LVS/DFM compliance across multiple technology nodes (7nm, 5nm, and below).

- Collaborate with circuit design teams to translate schematics into robust physical layouts.

- Conduct parasitic extraction (PEX) and work closely with STA/verification teams for timing closure.

- Drive layout automation using scripting (SKILL, Tcl, Python) to improve productivity and consistency.

- Perform layout verification including EM/IR, reliability checks, and yield optimization.

- Interface with foundries and EDA vendors to adopt advanced methodologies and process improvements.

Basic Qualifications :

- Bachelors or Masters degree in Engineering, VLSI, or related field.

- 5+ years of experience in custom memory layout design.

- Strong expertise in Cadence Virtuoso and industry-standard layout tools.

- Solid understanding of CMOS device physics, circuit topology, and layout-dependent effects.

- Proven track record of delivering high-density memory layouts at advanced nodes.

- Familiarity with PEX, STA, and sign-off flows.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with multi-port SRAMs, low-power memories, and high-speed cache designs.

- Knowledge of FinFET layout techniques and advanced lithography constraints.

- Exposure to EDA automation and flow development for custom layout.

- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.

Why Join Us :

- Work on cutting-edge memory IP powering next-generation silicon.

- Collaborate with world-class engineers in a highly innovative environment.

- Opportunity to own critical design blocks and influence product success.

- Competitive compensation, benefits, and career growth opportunities.
