Description

+ Responsible for creating and designing the physical layout of integrated circuits (ICs) or printed circuit boards (PCBs). This involves placing and routing components, traces, and other elements to ensure proper functionality and performance.

+ Create / lead / verify the layout design by conducting design rule checks (DRC) and design for manufacturability (DFM) checks. This ensures that the design meets the required specifications, constraints, and manufacturing capabilities.

+ Create / collaborate closely with other design teams, such as circuit designers, system engineers, and packaging engineers, to understand design requirements and constraints. They work together to optimize the layout design for performance, power, area, and manufacturability.

+ Select the appropriate technology and process for the layout design based on the project requirements, such as the target application, performance goals, and manufacturing capabilities.
