Layout EngineerRole and responsibilities
Layout of Analogue and Mixed Signal modules in deep sub-micron CMOS
technologies.
Experience:
Requires 2+ years plus in backend layout design, preferably gained in the
development of Analogue/RF IC's.
The experience should encompass all aspects of a typical mixed signal/RF
design flow using current tool-sets.
