About the job Senior IC Layout Engineer Custom Analog / Mixed-Signal
Senior IC Layout Engineer Custom Analog / Mixed-Signal
Zurich | Deep Tech | Advanced Nodes | Hybrid
We are partnering with an innovative Zürich-based tech company who are seeking a motivated Senior IC Layout Engineer, who enjoys full-custom transistor-level design and wants to help shape advanced silicon across modern process nodes. This is a full-time permanently employed position.
If you love precision layout work, deep collaboration with design teams, and pushing PPA, yield, and reliability to the limit this will be interesting.
What you will be doing
This is a hands-on layout role with ownership from concept to tapeout.
Your daily work may include:
️ Creating full-custom layouts at both transistor and block level
Working on mixed-signal, custom-digital, and memory-adjacent layouts
️ Planning floorplans and delivering DRC/LVS/PEX-clean designs on advanced nodes
Applying precision analog layout techniques (matching, symmetry, shielding, guarding, etc.)
Bridging analog craft with modern FinFET/FDSOI rules and multi-patterning/EUV constraints
Collaborating closely with analog/custom designers, digital backend teams & verification engineers
Generating LEF abstracts, constraints, pinouts & integration collateral for macro delivery
Automating repetitive layout tasks using Python/Tcl (if you enjoy scripting)
Maintaining guidelines, documentation & contributing to layout best practices
You will work on silicon that goes directly into cutting-edge compute architectures impact is immediate and visible.
What you will bring
You do not need experience with everything below, but the more you recognise, the better:
