Senior Mask Layout Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Hsinchu, Taiwan +1

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Mask Layout Design Engineer to perform physical layout for mixed-signal functions in sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools. The role involves working cross-functionally with ASIC and mixed-signal engineers, floor planning, custom layout, and verification against design rules and schematics. Requires a BSEE or equivalent, 5+ years of experience in Mask and Layout Design, deep understanding of analog circuit layout concepts, proficiency with Cadence tools (virtuoso), experience with verification tools (Dracula, Hercules, Calibre), and scripting languages (perl, python, skill).

What you'd actually do

  1. Performing physical layout for mixed-signal functions like PLL's, high speed SerDes, Analog to Digital converters, ESD structures designs in groundbreaking sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools.
  2. You'll work cross functionally with ASIC and mixed-signal engineers to customize designs for integration in VLSI products.
  3. Take part in floor planning, custom layout and verifying against design rules and schematics.
