IC Layout Engineer – Optical Engine Silicon

Singapore. Posted a month ago

The role

You will own the layout for electronic and photonic integrated circuits. This includes device placement, routing high-speed signal paths, and managing the integration of electronic and photonic dies.

What you will do

  • Own layout for assigned analog and mixed-signal blocks including placement, matching, shielding, and routing.
  • Execute parasitic-aware layout and run extraction.
  • Route high-speed signal paths with attention to impedance, coupling, and return paths.
  • Lay out passive and electromagnetic structures under senior direction.
  • Run and close DRC, LVS, antenna, and density checks.
  • Support electromigration and IR drop analysis.
  • Support top-level assembly and chip finishing activities through tape out.
  • Support PIC layout including waveguide and curvilinear structures.
  • Lay out photonic components and waveguide routing.
  • Run photonics-specific verification and clean GDS stream-out for tape out.

Required qualifications

  • Diploma, BS, or MS in Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or equivalent hands-on layout experience.
  • 1–3 years in custom analog, RF, or mixed-signal IC layout.
  • At least one tapeout contributed to through to silicon.
  • Solid working experience with Cadence Virtuoso, including Layout XL and constraint-driven flows.
  • Parasitic awareness in practice.
  • Fundamentals in electromigration and IR drop.
  • Fundamentals in electromagnetics for on-chip structures.
  • Physical verification experience: Calibre or PVS DRC/LVS, and parasitic extraction with QRC, StarRC, or equivalent.
  • Some scripting for layout automation: SKILL, Python, or both.
  • Willingness to overlap with US and India hours during tape out crunch.

Nice to have

  • SiGe BiCMOS layout experience
  • Advanced FinFET CMOS layout at 7nm and below
  • Photonic IC layout exposure
  • Experience with parametric photonic cells (PCells) in Virtuoso SKILL or Python-based photonic layout tools
  • Familiarity with silicon photonics building blocks
  • Exposure to 2.5D and 3D integration, interposers, or micro-bump and copper pillar arrays
  • Layout on optical front ends specifically
