Senior Staff RF Analogue IC CAD Engineer - Cadence Skill Physical Verification

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. Key requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related experience.
• Alternatively, Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Alternatively, PhD in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong experience with Cadence-based RF/analogue CAD environments.
• Strong experience with physical verification flows.
• Strong SKILL automation experience.
• Experience developing and maintaining CAD flows and methodologies.
• Ability to solve complex CAD and design-flow challenges.
• Experience supporting design infrastructure across process nodes and technology generations.
• Ability to provide technical leadership and work effectively with design and project leads.
• Strong understanding of CAD solution quality and integrity.
