Location : Cupertino, CA (Hybrid-

Duration : 7-month assignment (possibility of extension)

Hours : Full-time 40 hours / week

Summary

Do you want to help shape the future of wireless technologies that power products used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide? We’re looking for a Senior IC Layout Designer to join our client’s world-class vertically integrated engineering team. In this role, you’ll work closely with circuit designers to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP that will be integrated into state-of-the-art SoC products.

You’ll bring deep technical expertise in advanced CMOS processes, precision in layout design, and a collaborative spirit to partner with cross-functional teams. If you thrive on solving complex challenges in high-performance analog and RF design, this is your opportunity to make an impact at scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks (e.g., LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC / DAC, baseband filters, bandgap / bias / LDO)
  • Complete block-level layout through the full verification flow, including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM checks
  • Collaborate with designers on block-level floorplanning and architecture integration
  • Conduct layout reviews for power / ground routing, electromigration, signal path integrity, differential / IQ matching, and signal coupling
  • Support the research, design, and production of next-generation wireless technologies in advanced CMOS nodes
  • What You Bring

  • BS degree with 7+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Hands-on FinFET technology expertise — FinFETs are an advanced type of transistor used in modern chips where the channel is shaped like a vertical “fin,” allowing better control of current, higher performance, and smaller sizes. Experience here means understanding layout challenges specific to these nodes, such as parasitics, matching, and multi-patterning.
  • Strong knowledge of layout verification flows (DRC, LVS, extraction) and design for manufacturability
  • Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, coupling, and advanced process effects (LOD, WPE, etc.)
  • Proficiency in CADENCE layout tools and interpretation of CALIBRE checks (DRC, ERC, LVS)
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across design and verification teams
  • Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience in custom RF / analog layout for radio transceivers, with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS
  • Familiarity with layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high-frequency routing
  • Experience at 7nm FinFET or smaller nodes
  • Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL
  • TCWGlobal is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on age, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religious belief, or sexual orientation.
