The Position:

At Analog Devices Automotive AVDS Istanbul Design Center, you will be able to work together with a global team, who has designed and introduced many successful products that won sockets from top car makers in Europe, Asia and the USA. We, as Automotive AVDS group, are developing integrated circuits for are automotive and high-speed serial data communications for next generation safety and infotainment systems and autonomous vehicles.

As a Layout / Physical Design Engineer, you will be part and member of analog/mixed-signal design team, and have opportunity to work with analog design, digital design, engineering teams to work on leading edge complex mixed-signal integrated circuits developed in GMSL SerDes group utilizing Bulk CMOS and FinFet process technologies.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who is willing to have an understanding of complex integrated circuit layouts and work in collaboration with various teams within GMSL group. You will play a key role in high-speed analog/mixed-signal IC layout.

Main responsibilities are:

• Assist in interpreting design requirements and floorplans for analog circuit layout.
• Support block- and chip-level layout development and tapeout under supervision.
• Learn and apply design rules to optimize layout for matching, area, and performance.
• Perform basic physical verification (LVS, DRC, ERC) and parasitic extraction using tools like Calibre and Quantus.
• Collaborate with design engineers to deliver quality layouts using Cadence Virtuoso XL.
• Document tasks and support layout analysis using JIRA, spreadsheets, and basic scripting.
• Participate in planning and learning activities guided by senior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently in the final year of a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering with an expected graduation date before Jan 2027.
• Basic knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuit layout techniques (matching, parasitic reduction).
• Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre verification tools (through coursework, projects, or internships).
• Interest in IC layout design and willingness to learn advanced tools and methodologies.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills in English.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to improve through hands-on experience.
• Eagerness to learn every day and adapt to new tools and methodologies.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with global teams.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience:

• Exposure to analog/mixed-signal IC layout through coursework, projects, or internships.
• Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso XL, Calibre, or other EDA/verification tools.
• Understanding of semiconductor device physics and practical layout concepts (device matching, latch-up prevention, ESD, shielding, current density).
• Coursework or project experience with circuits such as PLLs, amplifiers, comparators, bandgaps, bias circuits, or similar.
• Basic scripting knowledge (e.g., Skill or Linux) for automation.
• Exposure to semiconductor process technologies (e.g., bulk CMOS, FinFET) through classes, labs, or research.
• Familiarity with data management or version control tools (VersIC, Methodics, or similar) is a plus.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills.
• Willingness to take on layout challenges and learn from experienced engineers.
