Analog Layout Engineer

Analog Layout Engineer

We are seeking a motivated and creative Analog Layout Engineer to join our team developing Industry 4.0 leading silicon solutions to drive growth in our global business. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team in Limerick with excellent opportunities to work on leading edge development in Sustainable Industrial automation. The role focuses on large silicon systems across multidisciplinary cross functional teams, including Analog and Digital Design, physical implementation, and CAD groups.

Responsibilities

• Layout ownership for full chip and large scale analog/mixed signal blocks from floorplan through tapeout
• Floorplan development at block, subsystem, and full chip levels for designs of significant size and complexity
• Top level integration of mixed signal chips, including coordination between IP owners and digital physical design teams (as applicable)
• Schedule and milestone ownership for assigned layout scope, including resourcing and execution planning where applicable
• Physical verification leadership, including DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, density, extraction, and signoff documentation
• Parasitic extraction coordination and support of post layout simulation/debug to close performance targets
• Reliability and robustness closure, including EM/IR, ESD aware layout, latch up prevention, and isolation strategy
• Analog layout best practices execution, including matching techniques, shielding, noise isolation, supply integrity considerations, and substrate/well strategy
• Cross functional partnership with circuit design, verification/validation, packaging, foundry, assembly, reliability, and failure analysis teams to enable design closure
• Methodology improvement, including development of checklists, templates, reusable collateral, and (where applicable) automation/scripting to reduce re work
• Technical leadership and mentoring for junior layout engineers; contribution to team standards and knowledge sharing
• Technical communication, including clear reporting of status/risks, and preparation of supporting material for design reviews

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering (or related field) or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of full custom IC layout experience with analog/mixed signal designs (block and/or full chip)
• Proficiency with industry standard custom layout tools and verification/signoff flows
• Proven ability to lead layout to signoff, including strong debug skills for physical verification issues and signoff closure
• Proven expertise in analog layout fundamentals, including matching techniques, shielding/noise isolation, substrate/well strategy, latch up prevention, and ESD aware layout
• Demonstrated ownership mindset: self motivated, takes responsibility, and consistently closes complex layout problems
• Strong planning and organizational skills (schedule/milestone ownership for assigned scope)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear supporting documentation
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across multi discipline, multi site global teams

Preferred Qualities

• Experience as layout chip lead and/or top level integration lead on large mixed signal designs
• Experience in advanced CMOS nodes
• Experience with top down integration methodologies, including AoT (Analog on Top) and DoT (Digital on Top) flows
• Experience integrating large digital IP and partnering with digital physical design teams
• Experience with high voltage layout and/or BiCMOS technologies
• Scripting/automation experience (e.g., SKILL, PERL, AMPLE, or similar) to improve flow efficiency and quality
• PCELL creation experience
• Track record of defining/improving layout methodologies, reusable IP, checklists, and documentation that measurably reduce re work
