Position: Analog Layout Engineer
Experience: 5 to 15 Years
Location: Ottawa, Canada
Job Type: Full-Time / Permanent
Work Model: Onsite
Role Overview
We are seeking a skilled Analog Layout Engineer with strong hands-on experience in advanced nodes (TSMC 3nm or 5nm) to join our layout design team in Canada. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in the layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-performance SoCs and IPs.
Key Responsibilities
-
Execute full custom layout of analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., op-amps, bandgaps, comparators, LDOs, PLLs, data converters)
-
Participate in floorplanning, placement, routing, and optimization of analog blocks
-
Drive layout closure with designers across multiple PVT corners
-
Ensure compliance with DRC, LVS, ERC, and EM/IR requirements
-
Collaborate with circuit designers to address layout-dependent effects (LDE), parasitic extraction (PEX), and performance-sensitive layout
-
Deliver layout for TSMC 3nm/5nm technologies, meeting aggressive area, power, and performance goals
Required Skills
-
5+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout
-
Hands-on experience with TSMC 5nm or 3nm process nodes
-
Proficient in using Cadence Virtuoso layout tools (XL/GXL)
-
Strong understanding of matching, shielding, parasitics, and analog layout best practices
-
Experience with PEX (Parasitic Extraction) and post-layout simulation collaboration
-
Familiarity with Calibre/Assura for DRC, LVS, and physical verification
Good to Have
-
Experience with EM/IR analysis tools (e.g., Voltus-Fi)
-
Scripting skills (Skill, Python, or Tcl)
-
Background in layout automation techniques
-
Exposure to high-speed layout (SerDes, DDR, PLLs)
Why Join Us
-
Opportunity to work on leading-edge 3nm/5nm analog IPs
-
Collaborative work environment with exposure to world-class SoC teams
-
Competitive compensation and career growth path
