Responsibilities
Develop physical layouts for RF, microwave, and analog integrated circuits.
Work closely with circuit designers to translate schematics into high-quality, manufacturable layouts.
Apply RF/analog layout techniques including device matching, symmetry, shielding, grounding, isolation, and parasitic optimization.
Layout active devices and passive structures such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transmission lines, and matching networks.
Optimize layouts for electrical performance, area, manufacturability, and reliability.
Perform and debug DRC, LVS, and other physical verification checks.
Support layout iterations based on simulation, extraction, and design feedback.
Use Python scripting to improve productivity and automate repetitive layout and design-flow tasks.
Identify opportunities to improve existing layout workflows through automation.
Collaborate with software and automation engineers to translate practical layout requirements into automated solutions.
