We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers. ### About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled R&D Engineer with extensive hands-on experience in RFIC, MMIC, RF module, or analog/mixed-signal layout, combined with an interest in advancing layout automation and design productivity. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in developing and optimizing complex high-frequency IC layouts, with practical understanding of RF layout considerations such as device placement, matching, routing, shielding, isolation, passive structures, parasitic effects, and electromagnetic interactions. This role is primarily focused on RFIC/MMIC layout and physical design, while also providing opportunities to contribute to layout automation through Python, parameterized layout generation, and collaboration with software and automation engineers. ### Responsibilities Develop physical layouts for RF, microwave, and analog integrated circuits. Work closely with circuit designers to translate schematics into high-quality, manufacturable layouts. Apply RF/analog layout techniques including device matching, symmetry, shielding, grounding, isolation, and parasitic optimization. Layout active devices and passive structures such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transmission lines, and matching networks. Optimize layouts for electrical performance, area, manufacturability, and reliability. Perform and debug DRC, LVS, and other physical verification checks. Support layout iterations based on simulation, extraction, and design feedback. Use Python scripting to improve productivity and automate repetitive layout and design-flow tasks. Identify opportunities to improve existing layout workflows through automation. Collaborate with software and automation engineers to translate practical layout requirements into automated solutions. ### Required Qualifications Strong hands-on experience in RFIC, microwave, analog, or mixed-signal IC layout. Solid understanding of RF and analog layout techniques and physical design considerations. Experience with industry-standard IC layout and physical verification tools. Experience with DRC, LVS, and parasitic-aware layout. Ability to work closely with RF/analog circuit designers. Working knowledge of Python or similar scripting languages. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills. ### Preferred Qualifications Experience with MMIC/RFIC design and layout. Experience with technologies such as GaAs, GaN, SiGe, RF CMOS, or other RF semiconductor processes. Familiarity with Python-based scripting or layout workflow automation. Experience developing or working with reusable/parameterized layout structures. Interest in improving engineering productivity through automation.
