- Markham, ON Location: Markham, Ontario

Employment Type: 12-Month Contract, with potential for renewal or extension The Opportunity TalentLab is working with a leading global semiconductor company to hire an early-career Analog IC Layout Engineer for its engineering team in Markham. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Electrical or Computer Engineering graduate looking to begin their career in semiconductor design. You’ll work alongside experienced IC designers and layout engineers on advanced analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, gaining hands-on experience with real production silicon.

Candidates who have completed a PEY, co-op, internship, or other practical experience in analog IC layout or semiconductor design will be particularly well suited to the role. What You’ll Be Doing - Develop and modify analog and mixed-signal IC layouts under the guidance of senior engineers.

- Translate circuit schematics into physical layouts while considering performance, matching, parasitics, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Perform physical verification including DRC (Design Rule Check) and LVS (Layout Versus Schematic).
- Work with IC design engineers to understand circuit requirements and optimize layouts accordingly.
- Support layout reviews, debugging, verification, and design iterations.
- Gain exposure to advanced semiconductor process technologies and industry-standard IC design tools.




- Collaborate with experienced engineers in a highly technical semiconductor development environment. What We’re Looking For - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics, or a closely related field.
- Recent graduates and candidates completing their degree are encouraged to apply.
- Academic or practical exposure to analog IC design, analog layout, VLSI, CMOS, or semiconductor device design.
- Familiarity with IC layout concepts such as matching, symmetry, parasitic effects, routing, device placement, and design rules.
- Exposure to Cadence Virtuoso or similar IC design/layout tools is strongly preferred.
- Understanding of DRC and LVS verification.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Co-op, PEY, internship, research, or project experience involving analog IC layout is highly desirable.

Why This

Role? For a current graduate interested in analog semiconductor design, this is an opportunity to move directly into hands-on IC layout work with an established semiconductor engineering team. You’ll gain practical experience with production designs, advanced design tools, and experienced engineers while building a strong foundation for a career in analog and mixed-signal IC development.

This is an initial 12-month contract with the potential for renewal or extension based on business needs and performance.
