Senior Analog Design & Layout Engineer (Microelectronic Commons) – Job Order 3529
Location: Los Angeles, CA
US citizenship or Permanent Residency required
$157K to $180K
The Opportunity
We are seeking a versatile Analog Design and Layout Engineer to join a premier microelectronics hub. This role is unique: you will function as a technical consultant for external customers, a mentor for advanced circuit design courses, and a key contributor to funded research. If you enjoy the intersection of hands-on physical layout and academic innovation-moving from schematic capture to tape-out across diverse process technologies-this is your ideal environment.
Key Responsibilities
” Technical Consulting & Design Support: Partner with external customers to develop high-performance analog or digital circuit designs. You will provide expert guidance on schematic capture, simulation, and layout implementation.
” Multi-Process Expertise: Navigate and implement designs across a variety of technologies, including CMOS, BiCMOS, and III-V, ensuring strict compliance with foundry design rules
” Academic & Research Integration: Support specialized “tape-out” curriculum by demonstrating advanced layout techniques and troubleshooting design-flow bottlenecks for students.
” Full Lifecycle Verification: Lead efforts in post-layout simulation, parasitic extraction, and layout verification (DRC/LVS) for high-impact research projects.
” Collaborative Documentation: Author technical design reports and layout closure documentation for both industry partners and academic stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
” Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
” Experience: Minimum 3+ years of professional experience in analog circuit design and/or physical layout.
” Tooling: Mastery of industry-standard CAD environments (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE simulators, or Mentor Graphics).
” Verification: Deep understanding of layout verification methodologies and parasitic extraction.
” Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills; ability to translate complex technical concepts for both customers and students.
Preferred Skills
” Experience with device-level, electromagnetic, or photonic component simulations.
” Prior experience in a teaching, tutoring, or workshop-led environment.
