Senior Custom Design Engineer - Compute-in-Memory SRAM

IC Resources; Zürich; On-site; CHF 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

IC Resources is seeking a Senior Custom Design Engineer in Zürich, Switzerland to design and deliver high-performance, low-power SRAM and custom digital sub-systems for compute-in-memory tech. You will own architecture, circuit implementation, verification, and silicon correlation for sub-5 nm nodes, collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet tight PPA goals.

The role requires a Master’s or PhD in EE/CE and 5+ years in custom digital/SRAM design; strong communication and self-directed

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in custom digital, analog, or SRAM design.
• Proven ownership of complete design cycles for sub-blocks.
• Strong expertise in high-performance and low-power circuit design on FinFET nodes, including bitcell stability and periphery trade-offs.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to define and articulate clear interfaces and constraints across teams.
• A self-directed, organized, and delivery-oriented approach to work.

Responsibilities

• Designing and verifying embedded SRAM or custom digital blocks, such as caches, register files, datapath, and datapath-adjacent interfaces.
• Optimising performance, power, and area (PPA) on advanced nodes, addressing variation and stability closure, corners, Monte Carlo simulations, and power reduction.
• Defining clean digital boundaries and timing budgets to ensure seamless integration into a digital-on-top flow.
• Planning and executing silicon correlation, including bring-up, characterization benches, analysis of ATE data, and resolving errata.
• Collaborating with layout teams on floorplanning, guarding, shielding, and routing topology, as well as resolving EM/IR issues.
• Enhancing methodologies through scripting for characterization, regression, and reporting (using Python or Tcl), and contributing to specifications, checklists, and reusable collateral
