Lead IC Layout EngineerBergamo, Italy
Who are we looking for?We are seeking a Lead IC Layout Engineer to establish and lead the layout function for advancedElectronic Integrated Circuits (EICs). This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who can build andmentor a layout team while personally owning critical analog, digital, and mixed-signal layout at 7 nm andbelow. You will work closely with circuit designers to deliver silicon-ready layouts that meet performance,reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
What will you be doing?
* Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing IC layout team
* Own hands-on layout of critical analog, digital, and mixed-signal blocks in advanced FinFET
CMOS nodes (7 nm and below)
* Defne and maintain layout methodologies, best practices, and quality standards
* Manage the CAD and PDK environment, including tool setup, version control, and foundry
updates• Work closely with circuit designers to support physical implementation, foorplanning, andconstraint-driven layout
* Perform and sign of full-chip DRC, LVS, and parasitic extraction (PEX)
* Assemble complete EIC layouts ready for tape-out, including top-level integration and
verifcation• Support power integrity, signal integrity, and reliability requirements (EM/IR, ESD, latch-up)• Prepare fnal databases and documentation for foundry mask release and tape-out
What we need to see?
* Extensive experience in IC layout for advanced CMOS FinFET technologies (7 nm and below)
* Proven ability to lead and grow an IC layout team while remaining hands-on
* Strong experience with both analog and digital layout, including mixed-signal integration
* Deep understanding of advanced-node design rules, DFM, and variability considerations
* Hands-on expertise with DRC/LVS/PEX fows and full-chip sign-of
* Experience working closely with circuit designers to optimize performance and extract
parasitics
* Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso and associated verifcation tools
* Track record of successful tape-outs and foundry mask releases
* Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across design, verifcation, and
* manufacturing teams
