Senior Staff RF/Analogue IC CAD Engineer – Cadence / SKILL / Physical Verification
We are currently partnered with a highly technical semiconductor organisation seeking a Senior Staff RF/Analogue IC CAD Engineer to develop, maintain, and optimise CAD environments, design flows, and methodologies supporting RF and analogue integrated circuit development. The role combines hands-on CAD engineering with technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, and long-term CAD strategy.
Key responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain Cadence-based CAD flows for RF and analogue IC design, including schematic capture, simulation, layout, and verification.
- Develop and maintain SKILL/SKILL++ scripts and automation within the Cadence Virtuoso environment to improve designer productivity.
- Manage and support simulation frameworks using Spectre, ADE, Maestro, and AMS.
- Set up and maintain corner libraries, Monte Carlo analyses, and process variation analyses.
- Own and maintain physical verification flows including LVS, DRC, PERC, and ERC.
- Ensure clean sign-off throughout the IC design cycle.
- Collaborate with foundry partners to integrate and qualify PDK updates and new process nodes.
- Manage design data and CAD assets using version control systems including Design Sync.
