Redmond, Washington, United States SpaceX Full time
Job Title: IC Layout Engineer

At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology. As an IC Layout Engineer, you'll play a critical role in designing and developing cutting-edge silicon solutions for our spacecraft and satellite systems.

Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate with integrated circuit designers and chip leads to determine chip floor plans, including strategies for power and ground distribution, and working with packaging engineers to determine pad locations.
  • Accurately estimate the schedule for layout work and identify areas of complexity that need early investigation.
  • Perform layout of custom RF and analog circuit blocks with attention to matching and minimizing parasitic capacitance in the layout.
  • Perform design rule checking, electrical rule checking, and layout versus schematic checks and resolve errors.
  • Perform top-level layout integration with electrostatic discharge structures and pad assembly and perform final tape out, including density fill, running design for manufacturability checks, and sharing GDS with the foundry.
  • Work with EDA suppliers to trial new tools and features.
  • Generate guides and demos for others in the team to showcase improvements in layout technique.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering.
  • 1+ years of professional experience as an IC layout designer or 3+ years of professional experience with integrated circuit layout design.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Strong analog layout skills.
  • Experience in advanced node IC layouts such as 22nm, 16nm, 7nm, 5nm or below.
  • Experience in layout of circuits with frequencies up to 50GHz.
  • Experience in layout of sensitive RF blocks such as low noise amplifiers, voltage controlled oscillators, and mixers.
  • Experience with skill programming.
  • Experience with shell scripting, Perl, Python, or similar language.
  • Experience managing revision control systems.
  • Experience with circuit design.
  • Understanding of layout considerations for device matching, coupling, and noise isolation.
  • Working knowledge of Linux.
  • Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required.
  • Able to work independently on challenging problems.
Additional Requirements:
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones.
Compensation and Benefits:

At SpaceX, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including long-term incentives, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks.

Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.

SpaceX is an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes applications from diverse candidates. Learn more about our commitment to diversity and inclusion here.
