Job Title: Standard Cell Layout Engineer

Location: Bangalore

Experience: 3+ Years

Industry: Semiconductors

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Standard Cell Layout Engineer to join our cutting-edge semiconductor design team. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in deep sub-micron technologies across Planar and FinFET tech nodes, and a solid understanding of layout fundamentals, physical verification, and standard cell library development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop multiple standard cell layout libraries for density and performance applications.
  • Perform standard cell layout development and physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC, Density, DFM checks).
  • Collaborate closely with circuit design teams to optimize layouts based on design concepts and performance targets.
  • Ensure layouts meet all design rules and reliability constraints such as electromigration, latch-up, and crosstalk.
  • Work on area optimization, routing efficiency, and pin accessibility improvements.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to seamlessly integrate IP solutions into Foundation IP product development.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in standard cell layout design.
  • In-depth proficiency in deep sub-micron technologies (Planar and FinFET).
  • Strong knowledge of layout fundamentals — electromigration, parasitic effects, latch-up, crosstalk, etc.
  • Familiarity with standard cell library architecture, ASIC and semi-custom design flows.
  • Expertise in physical verification tools and DRC, LVS, ERC, Density, DFM (Litho, PM, MAS) checks.
  • Strong layout optimization skills for area, performance, and routability.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with global teams.

Preferred Skills & Technologies

Cadence Virtuoso, Mentor Calibre, Synopsys IC Compiler (or equivalent tools).

Experience in 7nm / 5nm / advanced FinFET nodes is a plus.
