I korthet
Synopsys is looking for a Layout Design Engineer in Ottawa, Ontario. This role involves designing analog mask layouts from schematics, collaborating with designers, and automating tasks using Python or PCL. A Bachelor's degree in a related engineering field and 1-2 years of layout experience are required.
Ansvarsområden
- Design analog mask layouts from schematics provided by circuit designers, working on blocks that range from small cells to larger subsystems
- Collaborate closely with schematic designers to ensure your layout meets design intent, performance targets, and manufacturability requirements
- Use layout tools to place devices, route connections, and verify DRC and LVS compliance before handing off your work
- Write and modify scripts in Python or PCL to automate repetitive layout tasks and improve turnaround time
- Participate in design reviews where you will walk through your layout decisions and incorporate feedback from senior designers
- Work under mentorship for the first few months as you ramp on the team's design flow, tools, and standards, with the goal of becoming an independent contributor
Krav
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field with 1 to 2 years of layout design experience
- A solid understanding of electronic devices, how transistors, capacitors, resistors, and interconnects behave at the physical level
- Hands-on experience with analog or custom layout design, whether from internships, school projects, or professional work
- Familiarity with layout verification tools and concepts like DRC and LVS
- Some exposure to scripting or automation, Python or PCL experience is a strong plus
- Willingness to relocate to Ottawa and work onsite full time as you ramp with the team
Önskade kvalifikationer
- You can take a schematic, ask clarifying questions about design intent, and produce a layout that meets the spec without needing constant check-ins
- When a senior designer gives you feedback on device matching or routing strategy, you absorb it, apply it to the next block, and do not make the same mistake twice
- You are organized enough to manage multiple layout tasks in parallel and keep track of which blocks are in what state without dropping anything
- You get along with your teammates, you show up ready to collaborate, and you do not create friction when things get busy or deadlines tighten

- ETO and FTO Programs (Time Away)
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
- ESPP (Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back)
