Analog / Custom Layout Design Engineer (TSMC 3nm | FinFET | Cadence | Calibre)

Experience: 4 to 8 Years

Location: Hyderabad

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Analog / Custom Layout Design Engineer to drive the design and development of critical analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital layouts, supporting full-chip level integration in advanced FinFET process technologies.

You will be responsible for end-to-end layout execution from schematic translation and floor planning to verification and final sign-off — while collaborating closely with circuit designers, verification engineers, and project leads.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and implement analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital layouts for complex SoC and ASIC designs.
  • Perform layout verification including LVS, DRC, Antenna checks, and ensure compliance with foundry rules (TSMC 3nm/5nm/7nm/16nm).
  • Execute and review block-level and full-chip layout integration, ensuring timing, reliability, and manufacturability targets are met.
  • Utilize Cadence Virtuoso (VLE/VXL) and Mentor Calibre DRC/LVS tools to achieve design accuracy and productivity.
  • Conduct design quality checks, documentation, and maintain design version control.
  • Mentor and guide junior layout engineers — review their work, provide feedback, and ensure project delivery quality.
  • Collaborate with circuit design, physical verification, and integration teams to resolve issues and streamline sign-off.
  • Contribute to project management, ensuring on-time delivery and alignment with tape-out schedules.
  • Suggest innovative layout methodologies and challenge traditional approaches to improve design efficiency and performance.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • 4–8 years of experience in Analog/Custom Layout Design within advanced CMOS and FinFET technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with TSMC 3nm process is mandatory (TSMC certification preferred).
  • Strong expertise in Cadence Virtuoso (VLE/VXL) and Mentor Calibre DRC/LVS.
  • Proficiency in layout verification, Antenna check, LVS/DRC debugging, and documentation.
  • Good understanding of analog layout techniques — matching, shielding, common-centroid structures, ESD, latch-up prevention, and guard rings.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a clear understanding of layout fundamentals and physical verification principles.
  • Proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.
  • Excellent communication, teamwork, and mentoring abilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Exposure to multi-project environment and cross-site collaboration.
  • Experience in custom layout automation or layout scripting (Skill / Python / Perl).
  • Familiarity with FinFET process challenges (3nm/5nm/7nm) — EMIR, reliability, and density trade-offs.
  • Knowledge of full-chip integration and top-level verification flows.
