Mask Design Engineer

THE ROLE:

This position will require the creation and management of integrated circuit (IC) layouts from start to finish. Using Cadence design software, you will floorplan, design, implement and verify analog integrated circuits while meeting schedule requirements.

THE PERSON:

We are seeking a skilled professional senior level Mask Design Engineerwho has created mixed-signal, analog layout designs. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently or in a team, along with strong communication skills for creating layout designs and collaborating with stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform physical layout for custom analog structures in state-of-the-art sub-micron CMOS technologies using Cadence tools.
• Assist in taking part in floor planning, LEF delivery, custom layout, and verifying all applicable design rules.
• Perform power robustness check and EMIR verification and fixes.
• Work closely with design engineers to achieve optimal circuit performance and produce high-quality layout designs.
• Lead and influence other layout designers to improve team efficiency and align design methodology.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, ensuring high quality layout.
• Mentor and lead other mask designers across AMD's many global sites to macro completion.
• Effectively work in a team, good interpersonal skills, passion, and positive energy.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with layout design and verification tools such as Calibre verification and Cadence design tools.
• Verifying design integrity through DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, LUP and ESD, EMIR, timing, Antenna, and DFM across all major foundry processes.
• Must have a deep understanding of analogue circuit layout concepts in submicron CMOS technologies, device matching, shielding, etc.
• Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills, able to make decisions independently.
• Solid understanding of analog layout and all design requirements.
• Knowledge of foundry command deck, PDK, fabrication & mask process.
• Must have design management techniques to ensure quality and meetschedules.
