Job Description:
Sr. IC Layout Designer (Starlink) at SpaceX Redmond, WA, United
States SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where
humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting
than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the
technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of
enabling human life on Mars.SR. IC LAYOUT DESIGNER (STARLINK)Would
you like to become part of team developing silicon for Starlink's
low earth orbit satellites that deliver broadband connectivity to
the people who either do not have access to internet or have
inconsistent connectivity? Come join the team working on multiple
silicon projects that are driving more integration, lower power,
mixed signal architectures and advanced silicon technology for
deployment in space and ground infrastructures.As a layout
designer, you will be an integral part of the IC design team and
lead the discipline of layout at the technical level. You will work
in an integral team with the RFIC/mixed signal designers on full
chip layout of custom analog and RFIC designs. RESPONSIBILITIES: +
Work with the integrated circuit designers and chip leads to
determine the chip floor plan; this includes strategies for power
and ground distribution as well as working with packaging engineer
to determine pad locations+ Accurately estimate the schedule for
the 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
