Job Description:

Senior/Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Layout Engineer

Broadcom is a technology leader in mixed-signal system-on-chip. Working in the Edinburgh Analog/Mixed-Signal design team you will implement analog and mixed-signal layouts in nanometer CMOS technologies for custom Mixed-Signal ASIC products.

Working closely with circuit designers, you will layout analog and mixed signal circuits using industry standard layout and physical verification tools. The successful candidate will have a strong working knowledge of nanometer CMOS IC layout and verification including multiple voltage domain layout strategies and methodologies. You will also be responsible for planning and organising layout schedules and floorplans, assembling top level IPs and chips for tapeout, and ensuring tapeout processor a followed correctly. There will be some supervision of local and remote layout resources and also training of junior staff on layout techniques.

Job skills:
