  2. Collaborate directly with IC design engineers to create and enhance layouts for optimal size and performance.
  3. Set and achieve project goals and milestones.
Required Qualifications:
  1. Bachelor’s Degree in CAD or a related technical field OR a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
  2. Proficient in generating IC layouts and associated documentation, with expertise in CAD tools, particularly Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.8, Cadence VirtuosoXL, and verification tools such as Assura & Calibre, including DRC, LVS, and ERC.
  3. Proven attention to detail and strong customer service skills.
  4. Ability to adapt swiftly to changes and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  5. Comprehensive understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes is required.
  6. Capable of coordinating and resolving issues with engineering teams.
  7. Ability to work within tight deadlines while maintaining high-quality standards.
  8. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multiple teams.
  9. Proficient in Custom Analog, RF & Digital layout skills, with the ability to work at the cell, block, and chip levels.
  10. Strong knowledge of device matching issues and effective analog/RF layout techniques.

The typical base pay range for this role is currently CAD $97,300 - $165,900 per year. Starting base pay will depend on relevant experience and skills, training and education, business needs, market demands, and the ultimate job duties and requirements. Benefits include access to healthcare, a retirement plan company match, an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off, among others.
