Analog & Custom Layout Design: Prior experience in device-level layout techniques (matching, symmetry, shielding, common-centroid, interdigitation, guard rings, isolation structures) and critical design concepts including parasitic control, thermal management, and signal integrity. EDA Tools & Signoff Flows: Prior experience with EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre (or equivalent) in a Linux environment, with a strong command of physical signoff flows including DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction, and EM/IR analysis.
