Job Description

Position Overview

As a Job Developer at Capgemini Engineering, you will lead a layout team to deliver complex analog/mixed‐signal layouts for deep submicron CMOS circuits, including advanced FinFET technologies. You will work closely with circuit designers and layout leads to ensure robust design verification while serving as a role model with outstanding technical expertise and interpersonal skills.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the layout team in executing complex layout projects for analog/mixed-signal circuits.
  • Inspire, motivate, and establish effective organizational structures and communication protocols while delegating and managing time efficiently.
  • Collaborate with circuit designers or layout leads to plan, schedule work, and negotiate layout trade-offs.
  • Review and analyze floorplans and circuit complexities to drive efficient design verification using industry tools.
  • Interpret LVS, DRC, and ERC reports to ensure timing, area, and power requirements are met using advanced CAD tools.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design of deep submicron CMOS circuits and at least 3+ years of recent experience on advanced nodes including FinFET technologies.
  • Experience with analog/mixed-signal IP (e.g., SERDES PHY, transmitter/receiver, PLL, DDR PHY, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, etc.).
  • Proven track record in leading complex layout macros from floorplan analysis through physical design verification.
  • Strong understanding of CAD flows and tools for analog/mixed-signal layout design.
  • Expertise in crafting well-matched, low noise, and low power analog blocks comprising transistors, resistors, capacitors, pad IOs, and ESD structures.
  • High proficiency in custom and standard cell-based floor planning and hierarchical layout assembly.
  • Deep understanding of issues such as IR drop, RC delay, electro-migration, self-heating, and coupling capacitance.
  • Ability to identify failure-prone circuitry and layout structures and collaborate using analog and DFM standard methodologies.
  • Proficiency in interpreting CALIBRE DRC, ERC, and LVS reports.
  • Knowledge of CADENCE or MENTOR GRAPHICS layout tools.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Synopsys/Cadence Analog Layout Tools (Preference: 5).
  • Proficiency in using Virtuoso (Preference: 5).
  • Experience with Calibre (Preference: 5).
  • Basic knowledge of Python (Preference: 2).

Benefits & Perks

  • Compensation: Base salary range of $76,200 - $156,310/yr with eligibility for additional variable compensation, bonus, or commission.
  • Flexible work arrangements.
  • Healthcare including dental, vision, mental health, and well-being programs.
  • Financial well-being programs such as 401(k) and Employee Share Ownership Plan.
  • Paid time off, paid holidays, and paid parental leave.
  • Family building benefits including adoption assistance, surrogacy, and cryopreservation.
  • Social support benefits like subsidized back-up child/elder care and tutoring.
  • Opportunities for mentoring, coaching, and continuous learning.
  • Employee Resource Groups and disaster relief support.
