Senior Analog IC Layout Engineer
My client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Analog IC Layout Engineer to join their innovative team in Zürich, Switzerland. This role is ideal for a professional with over 5 years of experience in custom analog, SRAM, and custom‑digital layout. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting‑edge technologies, including advanced nodes down to 4 nm and below, and contribute to the development of industry‑leading solutions.
Candidate with the legal right to work in Switzerland (Swiss workpermit B/C or EEA member state nationals) only can be considered!
Responsibilities
Planning and implementing full‑custom layouts for standard cells, custom datapaths, and SRAM periphery/arrays
Driving and providing feedback to the design team to achieve the most power‑efficient design layout possible
Collaborating with schematic owners to align on constraints, define pins/abstracts, LEF views, keep‑outs, and tiling for memory‑like macros, and coordinate with MBIST/scan wrappers and test hooks
Automating and documenting processes by maintaining checklists, templates, and layout guidelines, as well as scripting repetitive tasks using TCL or Python.
Ensuring successful tape‑in and silicon of custom blocks or macros with clean DRC/LVS/PEX and correlated post‑silicon parasitics, while delivering comprehensive reports and lessons learned
Qualifications
A minimum of 5 years of experience in custom layout for analog, SRAM, or custom‑digital IP, with a proven track record of ownership from floorplan to sign‑off
Demonstrated expertise in sub‑28 nm nodes, including practical knowledge of FinFET/FDSOI, multi‑patterning/EUV constraints, and coloring
Proficiency in analog layout techniques such as common‑centroid, interdigitation, current‑mirror symmetry, matched routing, shielding/guard rings, and substrate noise isolation
A solid understanding of timing, IR, and EM implications of layout, with the ability to read extraction/timing reports and collaborate with designers, PD, and STA teams
Strong communication skills, rigorous documentation practices, and a collaborative mindset to work effectively across custom design, digital, and backend teams
