Position: Analog Layout Engineer
We are actively seeking a resourceful Analog Layout Engineer to join our team in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Responsibilities
- Design and verify custom analog layouts for circuits, cells, blocks, and IP involved in multi-Gigabit high-speed chip-to-chip communication links (SerDes up to and beyond 28Gb/s and/or memory IO) using advanced semiconductor technology nodes.
- Layout and verification of very high-speed analog circuits.
- Collaborate closely with the design team to understand requirements and implement effective solutions.
- Support integration at the IP and chip level.
- Engage with customers regarding requirements and IP delivery.
- Gain exposure to flip-chip package technologies.
Experience
- Proven experience in custom analog layout of circuits and blocks for multi-Gigabit serial data-link transceivers or HF/RF circuits.
- Expertise in the layout of high-speed/frequency circuits including amplifiers, oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other fundamental building blocks such as biasing, buffers, regulators, filters, and data converters.
- Understanding of layout techniques for high-speed circuits, including matching constraints, parasitic minimization, power grids, and ESD requirements.
- Familiarity with modern semiconductor process technologies, including 28nm, 14/16nm, and 7nm.
- Proficient in EDA tools for design and verification, including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice, Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS, as well as modeling for EM, IR drop, and ESD.
Skills
