Senior Analog Layout Engineer for Europe Location

Job Title: Analog Layout Engineer (BCD Technology)

Location: Europe (Italy and Austria)

Experience: 5–15 Years

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Analog Layout Engineer to join our semiconductor design team in Europe. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) technology and hands-on experience in the physical layout of Power Management ICs (PMICs), specifically DC-DC Converters and Buck Converters. The candidate should possess a deep understanding of analog layout techniques, matching requirements, parasitic optimization, and high-voltage design considerations.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and implement high-quality analog and mixed-signal layouts for Power Management ICs.

- Develop layouts for BCD technology-based designs, including high-voltage and power devices.

- Perform layout implementation for DC-DC Converters, Buck Converters, LDOs, charge pumps, and other analog power blocks.

- Ensure layouts meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.

- Execute device matching, shielding, guard rings, symmetry, common-centroid placement, and parasitic optimization techniques.

- Collaborate closely with Analog Design, Verification, DRC/LVS, and CAD teams throughout the design cycle.

- Resolve DRC, LVS, ERC, and antenna violations while maintaining layout quality.

- Support post-layout simulations and parasitic extraction analysis.

- Drive layout optimization for area, performance, and yield.

- Participate in design reviews and provide technical guidance to junior engineers where required.

Required Skills & Qualifications

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.

- 5–15 years of experience in Analog Layout Design.

- Strong hands-on experience with BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process technology.

- Proven experience in DC-DC Converter and Buck Converter layout implementation.

- Strong understanding of analog layout methodologies, including:

- Device matching

- Common-centroid layout

- Interdigitated structures

- Guard rings

- Symmetry

- Shielding

- Latch-up prevention

- ESD-aware layout practices

- Experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, or equivalent.

- Good knowledge of DRC, LVS, ERC, PEX, and reliability checks.

- Familiarity with high-voltage devices and power management IC design is highly preferred.

- Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a multicultural global team.
