Analog and/or RF IC Layout designer

Asygn is an ASIC design house of 35 people which provides system solutions for industrial consumer and automotive applications in RF and inertial sensors fields. Products such as analog front-end chips, boards and software are developed for data acquisition and demonstration purposes.
Our flagship product AS321X is a Battery-less Sensing Chip included in demonstration tags which enable wireless and low consumption data acquisition by UHF RFID.

ASYGN is seeking an Analog and/or RF IC Layout designer who will be responsible for the layout and verification of CMOS integrated circuit IPs. The candidate must have a proven record of layouting complex mixed signal ICs in state-of-the-art CMOS technologies. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic achiever, objective-driven, and able to work efficiently with both the IC and applications teams.

Responsabilities include:

• Prepare the floorplan of the IPs or the top level chip and validate the constraints from the design
• Make the layout following the constraints
• Run all the mandatory verifications (versus the Design Rules Manual), DRC/LVS/... and perform parasitic extraction (PEX/xACT, PVS)
• Work in close collaboration with the designers to find the best compromise in term of cost, area and quality
• Take into account the contraints of the assembly and the chip packaging

Education and Experience Requirements:
B.S. or M.S in Electrical Engineering degree with experience in analog and/or RF IC development.

Additional Qualifications:

• Strong grasp of analog / RF layout fundamentals and best practices
• Proficient at debugging/fixing DRC/LVS errors
• Solid knowledge of CAD tools like Cadence virtuoso suite, Mentor Calibre
• Good understanding of device matching problematics, cross coupling capacitor, electro-migration, IR drop, antenna effect, DFM, latch-up
• Unix OS familiarity strongly desired
• Programming langage (skill or other) is as plus but not required
• Eager for field returns and continuous improvement
• Proficient in written and spoken English and French
