  • 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
  • International, highly skilled engineering environment
