Analog Layout Design Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Analog Layout Design Engineer responsible for designing complex analog signal circuits, running verification tools, and optimizing layouts for area, power, and performance. Collaborates with cross-functional teams and develops new layout methodologies.

What you'd actually do

  1. Designs complex layouts of analog signal circuits for a given design specification and runs complete set of design verification tools for process design rules, electron migration, voltage drop (IR), ESD, and other reliability checks on the layouts.
  2. Designs and analyzes floorplans, power grid, ESD, bumps, and performs all required verification on the analog blocks.
  3. Performs the micro floor-planning and detail signal planning of complex analog circuits to meet performance and electrical requirements (shielding, matching) for critical signals to optimize for area, power, RV, and performance.
  4. Develops and drives new and innovative analog layout methodologies to improve layout productivity and quality.
  5. Collaborates with analog circuit design, process technology, and package design teams to meet design specifications, plan work, and negotiate layout tradeoffs as needed.
