  • Supervise or execute physical layout design.

Required Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 3 to 8 years of industry experience working with deep-submicron CMOS processes (ranging from mature nodes like 180nm, 65nm down to 20nm
  • Deep understanding of CMOS device physics, analog microelectronics, feedback systems, stability, and low-noise design.
  • Expertise in building blocks like operational amplifiers, bandgap reference, LDOs (Low-Dropout regulators), oscillators (VCO, ring, LC tank), and data converters (ADCs/DACs, PLLs, LVDS, sLVDS, SerDes).
  • Proficiency in simulation and layout software, primarily Cadence (Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS) and Spice.
  • Understanding IC layout constraints, floor planning, and running DRC (Design Rule Checking), LVS (Layout Versus Schematic), and ERC (Electrical Rule Checking).

Preferred Qualifications

  • CMOS image sensor design or sensor readout electronics.
  • Experience with Stacked chips and/or 1D-2D Stitching.
  • Mixed-signal integration with digital blocks.
  • Low-noise and low-power design.
