The posting

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:

  • 5+ years in custom IC layout covering analog, memory, or custom-digital blocks
  • Experience delivering clean layouts on advanced nodes (sub-28nm, FinFET/FDSOI)
  • Strong understanding of analog layout fundamentals:
  • Common-centroid structures
  • Interdigitation
  • Current-mirror symmetry
  • Matching & shielding
  • Guard rings & substrate isolation
  • Ability to work confidently with design & backend teams on extraction, timing, IR & EM topics
  • Familiarity with modern layout verification flows (DRC, LVS, PEX)
  • Good communication, structured documentation habits & a collaborative mindset

⭐ Bonus experience (nice to have but not required)

  • Experience with SRAM periphery, redundancy or memory-adjacent layouts
  • Knowledge of scan/MBIST routing or macro-level integration
  • Exposure to DFM/DFY, ESD/latch-up, or EM/IR reliability checks
  • Scripting experience in Tcl or Python for automation
  • Prior involvement in macro delivery (LEF, floorplanning, top-level interactions)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
