Advanced Semiconductor/MEMS Layout & Routing Engineer - 1106

The role

You will develop and refine mask layouts for next-generation ion trap devices, from initial design through verification and tapeout. You will work with design engineers, fabrication scientists and external foundries to make sure layouts meet technical and PDK requirements.

What you will do

• Develop and refine mask layouts for next-generation ion trap devices using Cadence Virtuoso, klayout, scripting and related layout tools.
• Partner with design engineers and fabrication scientists to resolve layout challenges and support device development through PDK and design rule refinement.
• Work with multiple external foundries to align layouts and tapeout deliverables with PDKs, process requirements and foundry best practices.
• Work with the layout team, vendors and foundries to refine workflows and reduce cycle time through automation and AI/ML implementation.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree minimum
• Minimum 5 years' experience doing IC, MEMS or PCB layout using advanced EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsis or L-Edit
• Minimum 2+ years' experience with PDKs, layout hierarchy, routing, verification and tapeout processes
• Must be a U.S. Person: U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or a worker granted asylum or refugee status
• Must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless also a U.S. citizen

Nice to have

• Advanced degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, physics or a related area
• Experience laying out masks for multiple external (non-captive) foundries in multiple technologies, supporting PDK integration and design rule changes
• Familiarity with SKILL language script
• Photonics component layout, place and routing
• Familiarity with auto-routing tools in IC, PCB and MEMS layout, and desire to leverage AI for layout
• Experience working in a cross-functional R&D team environment

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology
• Flexible work arrangements that support work-life balance
• Employer-subsidized medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match and student loan repayment benefit
