About this role
Astera Labs is building the connectivity infrastructure that powers modern AI systems, and this layout design role sits at the heart of that work. You'd be designing the physical layouts for advanced-node analog and mixed-signal circuits—PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, and high-speed transceivers—working across multiple time zones with both layout and design engineering teams. The work demands deep expertise in parasitic minimization, signal integrity, and manufacturing-aware design practices in FinFET technology, with a strong focus on meeting EMIR, antenna, DRC, and LVS requirements.
This position requires at least 10 years of hands-on experience in high-speed analog IC layout, proficiency with extraction and parasitic analysis tools, and a solid grasp of semiconductor process technology. Scripting skills in SKILL and TCL are expected. You'll also contribute to test program development and yield optimization, meaning the role extends beyond layout into the broader product lifecycle. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is the baseline qualification.
The company offers competitive compensation including a 13th month salary, annual performance bonuses, long-term incentives, annual health checks, family insurance, lunch allowance, and company trips. This is a full-time, in-office position based in San Jose, California.
