Senior Custom Design Engineer

My client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Custom Design Engineer to join their innovative team in Zürich, Switzerland. This role offers a unique opportunity to design and deliver high-performance, low-power SRAM and custom-digital sub-systems that form the backbone of cutting-edge compute-in-memory technology. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in architecture, circuit implementation, verification, and silicon correlation for advanced nodes, including sub-5 nm technologies.

This is a challenging and rewarding position for a professional with a passion for advanced circuit design and optimisation.

• Designing and verifying embedded SRAM or custom digital blocks, such as caches, register files, datapath, and datapath-adjacent interfaces
• Optimising performance, power, and area (PPA) on advanced nodes, addressing variation and stability closure, corners, Monte Carlo simulations, and power reduction
• Defining clean digital boundaries and timing budgets to ensure seamless integration into a digital-on-top flow
• Planning and executing silicon correlation, including bring-up, characterization benches, analysis of ATE data, and resolving errata
• Collaborating with layout teams on floor planning, guarding, shielding, and routing topology, as well as resolving EM/IR issues
• Enhancing methodologies through scripting for characterization, regression, and reporting (using Python or Tcl), and contributing to specifications, checklists, and reusable collateral

• A Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in custom digital, analog, or SRAM design
• Proven ownership of complete design cycles for sub-blocks
• Strong expertise in high-performance and low-power circuit design on FinFET nodes, including bitcell stability and periphery trade-offs
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to define and articulate clear interfaces and constraints across teams
• A self-directed, organized, and delivery-oriented approach to work
