CONTRACT Position: 6 Months
Location: Sunnyvale, CA or San Diego, CA (partial remote flexibility - 3 days per week onsite Tues-Thurs)
The RFIC Layout Engineer will be responsible for designing and implementing the physical layout of RF integrated circuits (ICs) for high-performance wireless communication systems. This role involves translating circuit designs into optimized layouts while ensuring compliance with manufacturing processes, performance specifications, and electrical constraints.
Job Description:
- RFIC Layout.
- Must have proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso.
- FinFet (lower the better) - ideally 7nm or lower.
- ADC/DAC/PLL, etc.
- Bluetooth experience is a plus.
- Create, modify, and verify the layout of RFICs, ensuring adherence to electrical and performance specifications such as signal integrity, noise performance, power consumption, and parasitic effects.
- Work closely with RF circuit designers, physical design engineers, and simulation teams to ensure seamless integration of the layout with the RF circuit design.
- Ensure the layout meets all process design rules (DRC), electrical design rules (ERC), and manufacturing constraints (LVS, DFM, etc.).
- Optimize layout for performance (such as minimizing parasitics), yield, power, area, and signal integrity.
- Perform thorough verification of layouts using industry-standard tools for DRC (Design Rule Check), LVS (Layout vs. Schematic), and ERC (Electrical Rule Check).
- Assist with debugging layout-related issues in the prototype phase, collaborating with fabrication teams to resolve any manufacturing challenges.
