RF Layout Engineer - Relocation to Greece

Job description

Location and Work ModelThe position is hybrid, based in Thessaloniki, Greece, and successful candidates will be expected to relocate.Job DescriptionWe are looking for an RF-focused Analog Layout Engineer with expertise in FinFET nodes. The candidate will design layouts for high-frequency analog/RF blocks, ensuring optimal performance under stringent parasitic and matching constraints.Key

ResponsibilitiesLayout design for RF circuits such as LNAs, mixers, VCOs, and PLL sub-blocks in FinFET technology.Optimize routing for high-frequency signals, minimizing parasitic capacitance and inductance.Implement shielding strategies (coaxial, differential, ground shields) to reduce coupling and crosstalk.Address EM/IR reliability for high-current RF paths and ensure compliance with advanced DRC/LVS rules.Apply matching techniques for RF differential pairs and passive components (inductors, capacitors).Collaborate with RF designers to meet performance targets for gain, noise figure, and phase noise.Ensure compliance with color-aware routing and multi-patterning constraints for RF metal layers.Job

RequirementsHands-on experience in RF layout design at FinFET nodes.Deep understanding of parasitic control for high-frequency circuits.Familiarity with EM modeling, substrate coupling, and isolation techniques.Proficiency in RF-aware EDA tools and post-layout simulation flows.Knowledge of reliability and aging effects in RF devices and mitigation strategies.Preferred SkillsExperience with RF sign-off flows and EM extraction tools.Ability to optimize layout for low phase noise and high linearity.Scripting skills for RF layout automation and verification.
