Senior Analog IC Layout

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 work permit B/C or EEA member state nationals) only can be considered!

• 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

• 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
