Vchip Penang Hiring! Full Time Analog Layout Design Engineer in Pulau Pinang - Ricebowl

About the Job

Vchip is looking for a mid-level Analog Layout Design Engineer to join our IC design team. You'll work closely with circuit designers to plan and construct high-quality analog and mixed-signal layouts, from floorplanning through final verification.

The Role

As an Analog Layout Design Engineer, you will collaborate with the circuit design team to translate schematics into robust, silicon-ready layouts. You'll take ownership of assigned blocks, from floorplanning and power/signal routing through DRC/LVS sign-off, while working closely with design and verification engineers to meet project milestones.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete transistor-level layout of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits
• Own assigned blocks of custom IP designs from floorplan through tape-out
• Perform floorplanning, power grid planning, and signal flow planning in collaboration with analog designers
• Conduct physical and electrical verification, including DRC, LVS, ERC, EM/IR, latch-up, and ESD checks
• Work closely with circuit designers to ensure layout meets electrical and performance requirements
• Track and report progress against block-level schedules and milestones
• Apply good matching, shielding, and isolation techniques for sensitive analog signals

Preferred Experience

• Solid understanding of CMOS circuit theory and analog design fundamentals
• 2+ years of relevant experience in analog or mixed-signal layout design
• Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre (DRC/LVS/ERC)
• Familiarity with EM/IR, latch-up, and ESD verification flows
• Good understanding of matching, shielding, and isolation techniques for analog layout
• Strong communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional design teams
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
