• Leading, mentoring, and growing a team of skilled layout engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performance environment.
• Taking ownership of the physical design execution for complex, high-performance mixed-signal ICs, with a strong focus on PLLs and their critical analog blocks.
• Defining and implementing layout methodologies and best practices to ensure optimal performance (noise, matching, parasitic control), density, and manufacturability for advanced process nodes.
• Collaborating closely with analog and digital design teams from architecture definition through tape-out to understand design requirements and translate them into robust physical layouts.
• Driving layout reviews and ensuring adherence to design rules (DRC), layout versus schematic (LVS), and other verification checks.
• Developing and maintaining layout automation scripts and methodologies to improve efficiency and reduce cycle time.
• Acting as a technical expert and problem-solver for complex layout challenges, especially those related to noise isolation, precise matching, and signal integrity in mixed-signal environments.
• Managing project timelines and resources for layout tasks to ensure on-time delivery.
• Staying ahead of industry trends in layout tools, process technologies, and methodologies.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; Master's preferred.
• 15+ years of hands-on experience in IC layout, with a significant portion dedicated to high-performance analog and mixed-signal designs.
• Proven management experience (2+ years) managing a team of layout engineers, preferably in different sites.
• Deep expertise in the physical design of PLLs and their critical analog blocks.
• Mastery of industry-standard EDA tools for layout, physical verification and parasitic extraction.
• Exceptional understanding of layout effects on circuit performance, including noise coupling, matching, parasitic capacitance/resistance, electromigration, and IR drop.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., SKILL, Python, Perl, Tcl) for layout automation and productivity enhancement.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
• A strong commitment to quality and a meticulous attention to detail.
