Job Description

Job Details:

As an Analog Layout Student Engineer, you will work closely with Analog Design Engineers to translate electrical schematics into physical representations on silicon.

You will be responsible for creating high-quality layouts for analog and mixed-signal blocks while considering non-ideal effects like parasitics, matching, and noise.

Key Responsibilities

  • Block-Level Layout: Design and verify physical layouts for circuits.

  • Physical Verification: Run and debug DRC (Design Rule Check), LVS (Layout Vs. Schematic), and Antenna checks using industry-standard tools (e.g., Calibre, Assura).

  • Parasitic Awareness: Perform RC extraction and work with designers to minimize unwanted resistance and capacitance that could degrade circuit performance.

  • Matching & Isolation: Implement techniques like common-centroid and interdigitation to ensure transistor matching and use guard rings to prevent latch-up and noise coupling.

Qualifications:

  • Education: 3rd‑year B.Sc. student or 1st‑year M.Sc. student in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.

  • Theoretical Knowledge: Solid understanding of CMOS fabrication processes and semiconductor physics.

  • Tool Familiarity: Basic exposure to EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, or Mentor Graphics).

  • Detail Oriented: A "pixel-perfect" mindset—layout requires extreme precision and patience.

  • Availability: Ability to work at least 20 hours per week (flexible around exam periods).

Job Type:
