Job Description:
Position: Staff IC Layout Design Engineer
Employment: Permanent
About the client:
We are a leading supplier of high-performance electronic components for high-voltage power-conversion systems. Our integrated circuits and diodes are critical for creating compact, energy-efficient AC-DC power supplies used in a wide range of electronic products, including mobile devices, TVs, PCs, appliances, smart utility meters, and LED lights. Our SCALE IGBT drivers enhance the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of high-power applications such as industrial motor drives, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and high-voltage DC transmission.
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Team Leader - Staff IC Layout Design Engineer to join our design engineering team. The ideal candidate will lead a team of layout design engineers, drive innovative layout solutions, and ensure the highest standards of quality and performance in our IC designs.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Develop economic, efficient, and demanding gate driver and power conversion related products.
2. Perform layout design of smart power functional blocks and complete mixed signal ICs from block level to tape-out release, focusing on top level layout design.
3. Run automated DRC and LVS controls to ensure full compliance with designed electrical circuits.
4. Collaborate with colleagues in the IC Design team to define chip architecture, refine it to block level, and be responsible for IC top level floor planning and area estimation.
5. Define innovative layout solutions that implement complex and intellectually challenging functions and control schemes necessary to deliver target system performance.
6. Coach and support layout engineers during physical design and related verification.
7. Lead the layout team, focusing on both technical aspects and team management.
8. Train young layout engineers to bring them up to full speed.
9. Contribute to technology process and layout design methodology improvements.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:
1. BSc or MSc in Microelectronics or a related degree.
2. Minimum of 8-10 years of experience in IC layout design.
3. Deep knowledge and understanding of best-practice IC layout design methods (theory and practice).
4. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
5. Strong team-working attitude.
6. Solid experience in analog and mixed signal integrated circuit layout design and related CAD tools; knowledge of Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre verification tools is a strong plus.
7. Strong knowledge of chip top-level assembly and tape-out closure procedures.
8. Good understanding of semiconductor technology with a focus on medium/high voltage CMOS, BCD, BiCMOS, including parasitic components and related effects.
9. Knowledge of ESD and latch-up issue reduction techniques.
10. Successful track record of taped-out IC designs.
11. Deep knowledge of the English language, both written and spoken.
