Requirements

Requires extensive experience in analog IC layout, specifically for high-speed or high-frequency circuits like amplifiers and PLLs. Proficiency with EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and experience with advanced process nodes (7nm to 28nm) is essential.

Job Description

We’re hiring for a Senior IC Layout Engineer for our rapidly scaling Semiconductor client based in Reading Berkshire.

If you are looking to broaden your experience within a high growth, internationally recognised semiconductor company, this could be the role for you! Hybrid working is available with this role, 3 days a week in the office.

As the Senior IC Layout Engineer, you will own the custom layout and verification of analog circuits, cells, blocks, and IP for multi-Gigabit high speed SerDes up to and beyond 28Gb/s and/or memory IO in advanced semiconductor technology nodes. You will have the opportunity to lead chip layout activities; hence there’s a lot of scope for career progression and satisfaction as you see your work in the final product.

As the ideal candidate you will be an experienced Analog IC Layout Engineer, ideally a background working on high speed designs.

Experience is required in some or all of the following;

  • Custom analog layout of circuits and blocks for multi-Gigabit serial data-link transceivers or high frequency circuits
  • Layout of high-speed or high frequency circuits such as ,amplifiers, oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, biasing, buffers, regulators, filters, data converters
  • Layout approaches and techniques for high-speed circuits, matching constraints, minimisation of parasitics, power grids and ESD requirements
  • Modern semiconductor process technologies including 28nm, 14/16nm, 7nm
  • EDA tools for design and verification like Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice, Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS, parasitics extraction and modelling, EM, and IR drop, ESD, etc

On offer is a competitive salary, benefits package (including pension, private medical), visa sponsorship and relocation assistance where required.
