Job Title: Memory Layout Engineer Location : Bangalore Experience Required: 3–5 years in custom layout design of memory circuits (SRAM, eDRAM, ROM, Register Files, CAM, or emerging memories). Job Summary: We are seeking a Memory Layout Engineer with strong expertise in custom layout design of memory macros at advanced technology nodes. The candidate will be responsible for creating high-quality, DRC/LVS clean layouts, ensuring matching, density, reliability, and performance optimization, and working closely with circuit design and verification teams to deliver robust memory IPs. Key Responsibilities: Develop full-custom layout for memory circuits (SRAM, ROM, Register File, CAM, etc.) at block and macro levels . Perform floorplanning, placement, routing, and optimization for area, performance, and power . Ensure DRC, LVS, ERC, and antenna-clean layouts across different process corners . Implement matching techniques, shielding, dummy structures, and guard rings for robust design . Work on memory bitcell arrays, periphery circuits, sense amplifiers, decoders, and write drivers . Perform parasitic extraction (PEX) and layout-dependent effect (LDE ) analysis. Collaborate with circuit designers, verification engineers, and CAD teams for integration and validation. Support signoff and tapeout with foundry-specific requirements. Automate layout generation or checks using SKILL, Python, or TCL scripting (if applicable). Required Skills & Qualifications: 3–5 years of hands-on experience in custom layout of memory IPs . Proficiency in EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, Mentor Graphics). Strong knowledge of advanced CMOS processes (28nm, 16nm, 7nm, FinFET, etc.). Experience in layout methodologies for high-density and high-performance memory arrays. Solid understanding of DRC/LVS/ERC/ANT/PEX signoff flows. Knowledge of parasitics impact on memory performance. Familiarity with reliability requirements (electromigration, IR drop, ESD). Good problem-solving and debugging skills. Preferred Skills: Exposure to SRAM compilers or memory automation flows. Knowledge of low-power design techniques in memories. Experience with EM/IR analysis tools. Familiarity with yield and variability considerations in memory design. Educational Qualification: B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, VLSI, or related fields.
