The RFIC Layout Engineer will focus on advancing RF analog circuit integration for wireless transceivers. This role involves addressing layout challenges and collaborating with skilled design and layout teams. The engineer will work on custom blocks, ensuring high-frequency RF circuits meet design requirements through simulation and verification. Continuous improvement of products and methodologies will be a key aspect of the position.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) is required.
• Experience in sophisticated DRC, ERC, LVS verification, and debugging is necessary.
• Prior experience in crafting custom layouts for RF high-frequency circuits is a plus.
• Deep knowledge of sub-micron CMOS technologies (16nm, 7nm, and beyond) is required.
• Proficiency with FinFET structures, guard-rings, deep N-wells, and PN junctions is required.
• Familiarity with sophisticated process effects such as LOD, WPE, and DFM is critical.
• Understanding trade-offs involving matching, parasitic effects, and high-frequency routing is vital.

• Lay out detailed custom blocks including floorplanning, placement, routing, and verification for high-frequency RF circuits.
• Verify and refine layouts through simulation to meet design requirements.
• Diagnose verification (DRC/LVS) and PDK issues using Cadence and Calibre.
• Collaborate with engineering design and layout teams to understand design concepts and constraints.
• Propose solutions to streamline layout tasks and finalize methodologies.
