Senior Manager Mask Design

Manage the layout team and PD team for day-to-day work

Plan layout resources to complete top-level and provide on-time tape out

Layout high performance Analog and Mixed Signal circuits using the latest Cadence Design Suite

Work at multiple levels of hierarchy, from macro level (block level) to Top-level (ESD/Pad frame)

Verify connectivity and design rules with Assura, Calibre, PVS

Use QRC extraction to analyze and reduce noisy/sensitive coupling

Use third party tools to analyze IR drops and p2p resistance

Liaise closely with analog designers on specific circuit requirements, e. g. power, matching, sensitivity, latch-up, ESD, etc.

Work closely with digital designers to ensure quality in backend inputs

Work closely with verification engineers to provide quality output from backend PNR

Work with CAD and CAE engineers to improve processes or features

BSc. in Electrical or Electronic Engineering is preferred. A minimum of 18+ years industry experience working on analog, power or mixed signal IC layouts

A good working knowledge of Analog IC layout and verification tools

Experience in routing using latest IC617 Virtuoso tools, i. e. wires, busses, pin-to-trunk, etc.

Adherence to a formal layout methodology that is both robust and compatible with existing IP, thereby creating further re-useable IP blocks

Good working knowledge of constraints-driven layout is useful but not essential

Previous experience with power management applications is a plus

Experience in VSR and VCAR auto routing a plus

Experience in schematic driven layout design, e. g. Modgens, Clones.
