Position: Analog Layout Engineer
Experience: 5 to 15 Years
Location: Ottawa, Canada
Job Type: Full-Time / Permanent
Work Model: Onsite

Role Overview

We are seeking a skilled Analog Layout Engineer with strong hands-on experience in advanced nodes (TSMC 3nm or 5nm) to join our layout design team in Canada. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in the layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-performance SoCs and IPs.

Key Responsibilities

- Execute full custom layout of analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., op-amps, bandgaps, comparators, LDOs, PLLs, data converters)

- Participate in floorplanning, placement, routing, and optimization of analog blocks

- Drive layout closure with designers across multiple PVT corners

- Ensure compliance with DRC, LVS, ERC, and EM/IR requirements

- Collaborate with circuit designers to address layout-dependent effects (LDE), parasitic extraction (PEX), and performance-sensitive layout

- Deliver layout for TSMC 3nm/5nm technologies, meeting aggressive area, power, and performance goals





Required Skills

- 5+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout

- Hands-on experience with TSMC 5nm or 3nm process nodes

- Proficient in using Cadence Virtuoso layout tools (XL/GXL)

- Strong understanding of matching, shielding, parasitics, and analog layout best practices

- Experience with PEX (Parasitic Extraction) and post-layout simulation collaboration

- Familiarity with Calibre/Assura for DRC, LVS, and physical verification

Good to Have

- Experience with EM/IR analysis tools (e.g., Voltus-Fi)

- Scripting skills (Skill, Python, or Tcl)

- Background in layout automation techniques

- Exposure to high-speed layout (SerDes, DDR, PLLs)

Why Join Us

- Opportunity to work on leading-edge 3nm/5nm analog IPs

- Collaborative work environment with exposure to world-class SoC teams

- Competitive compensation and growth opportunities path
