iota Biosciences, Inc., a Berkeley-based medical device start-up developing novel bioelectronic diagnostics and therapies, is looking to hire a highly motivated engineer with skills in analog and mixed-signal layout and circuit verification.

Responsibilities:

• Delivering clean layout
• Working closely with a small team of circuit designers to plan layout and discuss necessary layout trade-offs necessary to build complex mixed-signal layouts
• Running a suite of design verification tools (DRC, LVS, and extraction)
• Post-extraction verification of block-level analog and mixed-signal designs
• Working with analog and system IC designers to understand block-level requirements
• You will lay out circuit blocks and hierarchies and document them towards formal layout and design reviews
• Test and debug chips after they return from fabrication

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: BS or BE in Electrical Engineering
• Experience with Mentor Graphics or Cadence tools for layout and parasitic extraction
• Familiarity with analog layout
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with multi-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications:

• Education: MS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Integrated Circuits, or 2+ years of industry layout
• Experience in layout and extraction of low-power designs
• Experience building tightly matched, low parasitic, low-power analog blocks, resistors, capacitors, digital-to-analog converters, pad I/Os, ESD structures, etc.
• Understanding of IR drop, RC delay, and interconnect parasitic capacitance
• Strong experience with DFM practices
• Proficiency in interpreting Calibre, DRC, ERC, and LVS reports
• Working experience with oscilloscopes, FPGAs, microcontrollers, signal generators for validation and testing of analog design
• Previous experience designing biomedical electronics
• Familiarity with CentOS7/RHEL 7 Linux
