Custom Layout Designer (Analog Layout Designer)

Cadence Layout Designer

Join our team of layout designers creating challenging IP designs for the consumer, industrial, and automotive markets. Our designs are fabricated in the world's leading edge silicon processes for companies ranging from large multinational companies to hot start-ups. Learn on-the-job how to apply your engineering background to create these robust high performance analog designs. Working with experienced skilled designers, you will be part of the design team using Cadence design tools. We are looking for a layout engineer capable of producing quality layouts of analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks, working in collaboration with circuit designers. Responsibilities include all facets of the back-end flow, from initial floor planning through detailed layout and final verification of conformance to foundry design rules.

The Cadence IP Group custom layout team develops and delivers a variety of high-quality high speed and high accuracy CMOS integrated circuits IP for several foundries and process nodes down to 5n and even below. We are deeply involved in finfet layout and even beyond (gate all-around).

As part of Cadence, the Cadence IP group custom layout team not only has access to all the current and future Cadence layout and verification tools, we also participate in the development and validation of the Cadence Virtuoso software, which the most used in the industry.
