THE ROLE:

The full custom IC layout group is looking for a candidate to design the layout for digital and analog circuits based on schematics using industry leading CAD tools and cutting-edge foundry technology. Examples of layout designed by our team include Phase Locked Loop (PLL), Delay Locked Loop (DLL), Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), Current Regulator, High Speed Differential Signaling circuitry, Droop Detect, and Die Crack Monitor. Proficiency in 2D layout design while being able to visualize in 3D space are traits ideal for this position. It is useful to have knowledge of digital and analog circuitry at the CMOS transistor level.
This team is essential to the success of AMD as a cutting-edge company. You will be working on some of the most exciting projects the industry has to offer. AMD’s products are featured in many products ranging from Laptops to servers to major game consoles. It is a very exciting environment, and you will be working with the very best cutting-edge technology.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Managing junior/contract layout resources to complete basic lower level cells
• Assembly of lower-level cells into macros/blocks and assembly of these macros/blocks into a complete design
• running various verification tools at all levels of the design hierarchy to ensure a level of quality
• different stages of project development for a complete analog design
• checks will include DRC (design rule check), LVS (layout verification), EM/IR, ERC (Electrical Rule Check) and PERC/ESD (electro-static discharge)
