Pathfinding Senior Design Layout Engineer (San Pedro Tlaquepaque)

Responsibilities

• Design and develop critical analog, mixed‑signal, custom digital blocks, and support full‑chip level integration.
• Perform layout verification activities including LVS, DRC, antenna checks, quality reviews, and documentation.
• Ensure on‑time delivery of block‑level layouts that meet quality expectations.
• Lead planning, area/time estimation, scheduling, delegation, and execution across multiple concurrent projects.
• Mentor and guide developing team members during sub‑block layout execution and review their work.
• Communicate effectively with general engineering teams to ensure layout project success.

Scope of Role

The specified role does not encompass the following responsibilities: Finalization of sales agreements or the execution of sales contracts is prohibited. The role also does not carry the authority to make definitive decisions regarding contracts, be it their conclusion or termination. Furthermore, the role is not designed to involve participation in pricing negotiations or the authorization of contracts. These activities fall beyond the permissible duties of the position.
