Advanced Semiconductor/MEMS Layout & Routing Engineer - 1106
We are seeking an Advanced Semiconductor/MEMS Layout & Routing Engineer in our Brooklyn Park, MN, Albuquerque, NM or Broomfield, CO location.
Join an R&D team developing next-generation ion trap technologies. In this role, you will translate complex device concepts into manufacturable mask layouts, working from initial design through verification and tapeout. You will collaborate with design engineers, fabrication scientists, cross-functional partners, external foundries, and mask suppliers to ensure layouts meet technical requirements, established layout practices, and applicable process design kit requirements.
All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and refine mask layouts for next-generation ion trap devices using Cadence Virtuoso, klayout, scripting and related layout tools.
- Partner closely with design engineers and fabrication scientists to resolve layout challenges and support device development through PDK and design rule refinement.
- Work directly with multiple external foundries to align layouts and tapeout deliverables with applicable PDKs, process requirements, and foundry best practices.
- Work with our layout team, vendors and foundries to refine workflows and help enable significant cycle time speedups through identifying areas for automation and AI/ML implementation
YOU MUST HAVE:
- Bachelor’s degree minimum
- Minimum 5 years' experience doing IC, MEMS or PCB layout using advanced EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsis or L-Edit
- Minimum 2+ years’ experience with PDKs, layout hierarchy, routing, verification and tapeout processes
- Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status
- Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.
WE VALUE:
- Advanced degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, physics or a related area preferred
- Experience laying out masks for multiple external (i.e., non-captive) foundries in multiple technologies, supporting PDK integration and design rule changes
- Familiarity with SKILL language script
- Photonics component layout, place and routing
- Familiarity with auto-routing tools in IC, PCB, MEMS layout and desire to leverage AI capabilities for layout
- Experience working in a cross-functional, R&D team environment.
The base pay range for this role is $115,000 – $145,000 annually. Actual compensation within this range may vary based on the candidate’s skills, educational background, professional experience, and unique qualifications for the role.
