Job title: Senior Analog / Mixed-Signal / RF Layout Engineer

Job location: Munich, Germany (Hybrid / partial remote possible)

Job type: Contract

Job mode: Hybrid

We are looking for an experienced Senior Analog / Mixed-Signal / RF Layout Engineer to support advanced-node IC development projects. The role involves full‑custom layout design at block and top level, with a strong focus on RF and advanced FinFET technologies (5nm and below). You will work closely with circuit designers to ensure high‑quality, manufacturable layouts that meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Develop full‑custom Analog, Mixed‑Signal, and RF layouts at block and top level.
Ensure compliance with AMS and RF layout constraints, including matching, symmetry, shielding, isolation, and reliability rules.
Apply best practices for high‑frequency layout, including EM coupling mitigation, guard rings, and sensitive signal routing.
Perform and drive closure of DRC, LVS, ERC, and antenna checks.
Work with advanced PDKs, including multi‑patterning rules.
Collaborate closely with circuit designers to resolve layout challenges and meet project milestones.
Support layout optimization for performance, yield, and manufacturability.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

8+ years of hands‑on experience in Analog / Mixed‑Signal / RF layout design.
Strong expertise with:
- Cadence Virtuoso (XL/GXL)
- Calibre verification tools
Proven experience with advanced technology nodes (5nm and below preferred).
Solid RF layout experience, including:
- High‑frequency signal routing
- Shielding, guard rings, isolation
- EM coupling and noise mitigation
Experience laying out RF blocks such as:
- LNAs, Mixers, VCOs, Power Amplifiers

Nice To Have

Exposure to one or more of the following blocks:
- PLL, LNA, VGA, ADC, DAC, SerDes, Bandgap, LDO
SKILL scripting for layout automation and productivity improvements.
