We are looking for result-driven candidates who would thrive under a fast-pace working environment and having a strong desire to make an impact in their organization

What you will do

• Own the entire layout implementation process: schedule estimation, floorplanning, layout construction, physical verification and memory compiler leaf-cell creation
• Implement top quality layout which meet the specifications set forth by designers and layout leads while meeting the project objectives and milestones
• Diligently perform all physical & reliability verifications (DRC/LVS/ERC/etc.) on the layout designs and ensure the database is fully compliant with all requirements of tape-out flow
• Work closely with multi-functional members to optimize layout realization according to the desired power, performance and area optimization requirement
• Candidates with strong soft skills could be tasked to undertake project management, coaching of new hires/interns or workflow improvement initiative

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering or equivalent
• At least 8~10 years of direct experience in custom Memory layout implementation (SRAM/ROM/TCAM/CIM) in advanced finFET/GAA process nodes
• Proficient in understanding DRM of advanced CMOS technologies and have a good understanding of deep sub-micron and DFM issues (eg. WPE, LOD effects, etc.)
• Strong knowledge in floor-planning techniques at different hierarchies, with emphasis on power mesh planning, critical block placement, critical signal routing and top-down integration flow
• Strong knowledge in executing and debugging various physical verification checks like DRC, LVS, ERC, Antenna, Density, ESD, LUP, EM, IR, etc.
• Proficient in Synopsys/Cadence layout editors
• Ability in script programming (eg. Python, Tcl, Perl or C-shell) is a plus
• Team player and effective in cross-team communication and time management
