INTRODUCTION
Celero Communication Inc. is an exciting and fast-growing start-up in the semiconductor industry, pushing boundaries with innovative technologies that power the world’s most advanced AI and data center infrastructure. As we scale rapidly, we are looking for a driven and resourceful High-Speed Analog Layout Engineer to be the backbone of our daily operations and a key partner in shaping our company culture.
We are seeking a Principal/Senior Analog Layout Engineer to drive the layout design of complex analog and mixed-signal IP blocks that are at the heart of our advanced optical communication systems. As a key member of the Analog & Mixed-Signal (AMS) design team, you will lead layout development of critical blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and other high-performance analog/mixed-signal circuits. You will interface closely with circuit designers, CAD/PDK teams, and other layout engineers to ensure first-pass silicon success. This is a hands-on technical role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys mentoring others while contributing directly to cutting-edge chip development.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead and own the physical layout design of complex analog/mixed-signal macros (e.g., ADCs, DACs, PLLs), from floor planning through final verification
- Collaborate closely with schematic designers to create optimal layout solutions considering performance, matching, symmetry, and reliability
- Mentor and guide junior layout engineers/contractors across multiple time zones, enforcing best practices in layout design and verification
- Perform and debug full hierarchy LVS, DRC, PERC, ERC, and other signoff checks using industry-standard tools (Pegasus, Calibre, etc.)
- Contribute to chip-level planning including top-level floor planning, block integration, power grid implementation, and signal routing
- Participate in layout design reviews and provide technical leadership for layout quality, verification completeness, and schedule adherence
- Support automation initiatives through scripting and tool customization (SKILL, TCL, Python is a plus)
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Minimum 10+ years of hands-on analog/mixed-signal layout design experience in advanced CMOS/FinFET technologies
- Proven track record of top level integration IP layout macros and preparing IPs for handoff to Physical Design
- Proven leadership in owning major IP layout macros or full-chip-level layout at FinFET nodes (TSMC preferred)
- At least 1 year of experience with TSMC FinFET process nodes (N3, N5, N7, or N16)
- Deep understanding of device physics, layout-dependent effects (LOD, WPE, OSE, LDE, etc.), and their impact on circuit performance
- Strong expertise in layout best practices for device matching, noise isolation, ESD protection, symmetry, and parasitic minimization
- Proficiency in floor planning, hierarchical block integration, routing strategy, and power/ground grid design
- Expertise with Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, Pegasus, and other layout and verification tools
- Familiarity with layout verification flows, including LVS, DRC, PERC, Density, DFM, ERC, and Antenna rules
- Experience working in collaborative environments with international and remote teams
- Strong documentation and communication skills with the ability to clearly present layout trade-offs and status to cross-functional teams
- Experience using revision control systems for layout design management
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Exposure to optical or high-speed analog interfaces is a strong plus
- Working knowledge of SKILL, TCL, or Python for layout automation or design flow optimization
- Proven ability to collaborate with international teams (U.S., Canada, Argentina)
- Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and follow-through
- Ability to multi-task and prioritize in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Proactive, eager-to-learn mindset with excellent problem-solving skills
WHAT WE OFFER
- The chance to play a foundational role at a high-growth semiconductor start-up
- Exposure to a wide variety of cross functional teams
- A collaborative, international team culture where ideas and initiative are valued
- The opportunity to grow alongside Celero as we scale and shape the future of our industry
- A foundational role at a fast-growing semiconductor start-up shaping the future of AI and data center connectivity

Tips for Your Remote Layout Artist Job Search
Show async work samples in your portfolio
Remote layout artist roles move fast and hiring managers review portfolios without you in the room. Include finished, production-ready files, not mood boards, and label each piece with the brief, tools used, and turnaround time so reviewers understand your independent workflow.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote layout artist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through location-filtered results.
Prove you work well inside shared design systems
Remote teams run on shared libraries, brand guidelines, and versioned file structures in tools like Figma or Adobe CC Libraries. Call out in your application how you've maintained consistency across a file system or handed off production assets to other team members without in-person review.
Write your cover note like a brief response
Remote hiring teams use written communication constantly, so your cover note is a live sample of how you'll communicate on the job. Be direct, reference the specific role, and describe a past project outcome in one or two concrete sentences rather than restating your resume.
Remote Layout Artist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote layout artist job?
Target companies with distributed creative teams: remote-first agencies, digital publishers, software companies with in-house design, and content-heavy brands that operate without a central office. Remote hiring managers screen for self-direction, clean async communication, and a portfolio that shows finished, production-ready work rather than concepts. Candidates who can articulate their process in writing and demonstrate experience with shared design systems or brand guidelines consistently stand out.
Which companies hire remote layout artists?
Employers currently hiring remote layout artists include EMCOR, SSOE, and Amrize, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first agencies, digital media companies, and software and e-commerce brands that maintain distributed creative teams and need production-ready layout work delivered asynchronously.
Can you get a remote layout artist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry roles are harder to land than on-site ones because you're expected to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Digital publishers, small remote-first agencies, and content startups are the most likely to hire entry-level candidates. A strong spec portfolio, demonstrated proficiency with InDesign or Figma, and clear written communication go further than a resume with no professional credits.
Do you need a degree for remote layout artist jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role consistently prioritize a portfolio of real production work over formal credentials. What matters is whether your layouts are print- or screen-ready, whether you understand grid systems and typography, and whether you can follow brand guidelines without hand-holding. A degree in graphic design or visual communications can help, but candidates who build a focused portfolio and ship clean files regularly compete on equal footing.
