    Job Description

    About IC Enable
    For over 20 years, IC Enable has delivered high-reliability design IP, IC products, and platform solutions to customers ranging from fast-moving startups to Fortune 50 companies. Our work spans mixed-signal and digital IC design, with deep expertise in full-custom ASIC/SoC development across semiconductor, medical, and defense applications—often in some of the industry’s most demanding process nodes and use cases. We’re growing—and looking for a senior layout / mask design leader who can own critical pieces of complex silicon development and raise the bar for execution across our team.
     
    At IC Enable, we approach every challenge with a startup mindset—nimble, relentless, and unwilling to accept limits. No task is too complex or too ambitious; we take ownership, solve hard problems, and push forward as we continue building something bigger than ourselves.
     
    The Role
    As a Mixed-Signal and Analog IC Layout Manager, you will take ownership of chip-level layout execution and verification for high-performance, full-custom ICs. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll drive layout quality, guide best practices, and collaborate closely with design, verification, and customer teams to deliver first-pass success on challenging designs.
     
    Location: Richardson, TX (Hybrid: 3 days onsite)
     
    What You’ll Do
    • Lead chip-level layout integration across analog, digital, and IP blocks
    • Own full-chip physical verification: DRC, LVS, EM/IR, parasitic extraction, and density compliance
    • Drive layout quality, consistency, and adherence to foundry requirements
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, CAD, verification) across global locations
    • Review and interpret layout specifications to ensure accuracy and performance alignment
    • Mentor junior layout engineers and contribute to continuous improvement of layout methodologies
    What You Bring
    • 10+ years of hands-on IC layout experience, with significant exposure to mixed-signal designs
    • Proven track record delivering complex, full-custom chips to tape-out
    • Deep expertise with industry-standard tools: Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Custom Compiler, and physical verification tools such as Calibre, PVS, or IC Validator
    • Strong experience with LVS, DRC, and chip-level verification flows
    • Solid understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and design rules
    • High attention to detail and ability to work effectively under tight timelines
    • Strong communication skills, with experience working directly with internal teams and external customers
    • Must comply with all applicable International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements (Requires U.S. Persons). Due to the nature of the work and access to export-controlled information, applicants must be authorized to access ITAR-restricted data in accordance with U.S. export control laws and regulations.
    Education
    • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience (Associate degree with significant industry experience considered)
     
    Why IC Enable
    We hire people who are humble, driven, and highly capable—and give them the opportunity to work on technically challenging, meaningful designs. You’ll be part of a team that values ownership, precision, and continuous growth.
    Benefits include:
    • Medical, Dental, Vision, and supplemental coverage
    • 401(k) with company match
    • Collaborative, engineering-focused culture
     
    Equal Opportunity Employer
    IC Enable is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
