Lead IC Layout Engineer Bergamo, Italy Who are we looking for? We are seeking a Lead IC Layout Engineer to establish and lead the layout function for advanced Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs). This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who can build and mentor a layout team while personally owning critical analog, digital, and mixed-signal layout at 7 nm and below. 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, and constraint-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
