  • Perform physical layout of SRAM and datapath circuits using Cadence tools.
  • Your duties will include floor-planning, hierarchical layout assembly, effective use of cell sharing and custom layout of pitch related cell design.
  • Ability to recognize different solutions in layout implementation based on area, metal utilization and schedule.
  • Participate in developing physical verification flows for new technologies - DRC and LVS
  • Work closely with circuit engineers to help to establish layout design methodologies to enable an efficient and expeditious layout implementation.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience
  • 3+ years' proven experience in memory macro layout
  • Strong background in tight pitch related layout design
  • Knowledge of the latest FinFET technology nodes and design rules
  • Strong proficiency of layout tools (Cadence Virtuoso is desired)
  • Knowledge of ICV layout verification tool is a plus
  • Scripting skills in CSH, PERL or SKILL
