As an Analog IC Design Engineer, you will contribute to the design and development of next-generation electro-optical transceiver integrated circuits. This role focuses on high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuit design, closely integrated with photonic components, enabling high-speed optical communication systems at data rates of 200 Gb/s and beyond. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including photonic designers, verification engineers, and test teams, to ensure robust system-level performance across all process, voltage, and temperature corners.
Job Responsibility:
Design high-performance analog circuits in BiCMOS technology, including operational amplifiers, regulators, bandgap references, and PVT-independent biasing circuits
Develop high-speed analog and mixed-signal blocks, including control loops (e.g., AGC, RSSI, loss-of-signal detection, offset cancellation, squelch functions)
Design analog and mixed-signal interface circuits, including digital control interfaces (I²C/SPI) using relevant IP blocks (e.g., ADCs)
Develop complete chip-level schematic hierarchies using Cadence design tools
Apply advanced layout techniques with focus on device matching, parasitic minimization, and current density optimization
Perform LVS/DRC checks and ensure compliance with design rules and manufacturing requirements
Support design verification activities and ensure specification compliance across design phases
Collaborate with photonic design teams on electro-optical co-design and system-level optimization
Define and implement temperature-independent biasing strategies using bandgap reference circuits
Develop and support testing strategies in collaboration with test engineering teams
Support product qualification, production ramp-up, and customer technical inquiries
Contribute to the definition and continuous improvement of design methodologies and workflows
Requirements:
Master's degree (M.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering or a related field
Minimum 5 years of industry experience in integrated circuit design
Strong expertise in analog and mixed-signal IC design, particularly high-speed and I/O circuits
Proficiency with Cadence design environment and related EIC design tools
Solid understanding of chip-level design flows and Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) principles
Experience with advanced semiconductor process technologies (BiCMOS experience is an advantage)
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Structured, proactive, and detail-oriented working style
Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
Professional proficiency in English (German language skills are a plus)
Nice to have:
German language skills are a plus
What we offer:
Opportunity to work on leading-edge silicon photonics and high-speed IC technologies
Exposure to complex system-level design challenges at the intersection of electronics and photonics
