Job Details
Start date is beginning of October cannot start before.
6 -12 months
MUST HAVE RF Layout 7-28nm FF (The JD had 40 but he will not look at that, I edited it below)
If they worked for Apple before he wants me to send the manager with the resume.
Hybrid schedule (Tues, Wed, Thursday in office) 0 percent chance of remote
Can work in San Diego, Cupertino, or Austin Preference is Cupertino because that is where he is
Interview process - 1 call with Kevin and then two separate calls with his team
Key Qualifications
Experience in custom RF/analog layout with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS (7nm, 28nm, FinFET, etc.)
Knowledgeable in layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high frequency routing
Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, and coupling
Understanding of guard rings, DNW, PN junctions, and advanced process effects such as LOD, WPE, etc.
High level proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc.
Knowledge of CADENCE layout tools
Excellent communication skills and able to work with cross-functional teams
You would also have the following, if you're more experienced:
Capability to lead other layout engineers for top-level integration
Ability to recognize failure prone circuit and layout structures and proactively work with circuit designers for the best approach to resolve problems
Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are a plus, but not required
Description
As a RF layout engineer, you will be responsible for Detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks including LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC/DAC, baseband filters, and bandgap/bias/LDO. Block level and top-level layout through full verification flow including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM checking Co-work with designers on block level and top-level floorplanning Layout review for power/gnd routing, electromigration, signal path check, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling Top-level layout integration and verification, schedule management
