About the Role

TYLsemi is seeking an experienced Analog / Mixed-Signal Layout Lead to drive physical design execution for analog and mixed-signal IP blocks on advanced FinFET process nodes. This role owns layout strategy, integration, and sign-off for high-performance power and analog circuits, and serves as the primary technical interface with external layout/design-service partners and foundry teams.

What You’ll Do

• Lead layout planning, floorplanning, and execution for analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., power converters, IVRs, references, amplifiers, ADC/DAC front-ends) on FinFET-based advanced nodes.
• Define and enforce analog layout techniques: matching, symmetry, common-centroid structures, guard-ringing, shielding, and parasitic-aware placement/routing for sensitive analog nets.
• Own integration guidelines between analog/mixed-signal blocks and digital logic, ensuring clean floorplan partitioning, power delivery, and signal integrity across the top-level chip.
• Identify and resolve advanced-node layout issues — including multi-patterning (MP) constraints, color-aware routing, restrictive design rules (RDRs), via pillars, local interconnect limitations, and device-level layout-dependent effects (LDE, well-proximity, STI stress).
• Drive DRC/LVS/PERC/antenna closure and coordinate ECO layout cycles with design and verification teams.
• Manage layout schedules, milestones, and quality across internal teams and external layout vendors/subcontractors, including scope definition, kickoff, technical reviews, and issue resolution.
• Interface with packaging teams for integration on advanced packaging (2.5D/3D, microbump, RDL) layout requirements.
• Define and drive layout methodology strategy, including use of APR (Automatic Place & Route) tools for applicable analog-assisted and mixed-signal blocks, custom scripting/automation (e.g., SKILL, Python) to speed up placement, routing, and DRC/LVS cleanup, and PCells/parameterized layout generation to improve reuse and reduce turnaround time.
• Mentor junior layout engineers and establish reusable layout methodologies, checklists, and best-practice documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field.
• 10+ years of layout experience in the semiconductor industry, with significant time on FinFET process nodes (16nm and below).
• 2+ years of leadership experience, such as leading a layout team, mentoring engineers, or owning layout schedules/deliverables across a project.
• Strong hands-on expertise in analog/mixed-signal layout techniques for power management, reference, or precision analog circuits.
• Deep familiarity with advanced-node layout constraints: multi-patterning, restricted design rules, device orientation/matching rules, and layout-dependent effects.
• Proven experience defining or applying analog-digital integration guidelines at the block and top level.
• Familiarity with layout automation and APR methodologies, and their applicability/limitations for analog and mixed-signal design.
• Track record of managing or closely collaborating with external layout teams, design service providers, or offshore layout groups.
• Proficiency with industry-standard layout/verification tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre DRC/LVS/PERC).
• Solid understanding of parasitic extraction, IR drop, EM/reliability considerations for power-carrying layout.
