About the role
- Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide.
- We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
- In this role, you will be on a 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.
Responsibilities
- Work with the integrated circuit designers and chip leads to determine the chip floor plan
- 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)
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering and 1+ years of professional experience as an IC layout designer
- OR 3+ years of professional experience with integrated circuit layout design in lieu of a degree
- Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones
Skills
- 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
