Analog / RF / High-Speed IC Design Engineer (f/m/d)

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential semiconductor technology client in Aachen, Germany. They are seeking an Analog / RF / High-Speed IC Design Engineer to join their engineering organization working on next-generation communication and computing systems. This role offers the opportunity to design and validate broadband analog, RF, and high-speed mixed-signal integrated circuit blocks from concept through silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Design and simulate innovative circuit blocks including current mode amplifiers (TIA), voltage mode amplifiers, high-speed drivers, and LNAs
• Execute AC, transient, noise, jitter, linearity, stability, PVT, and Monte Carlo analyses to optimize performance and robustness
• Collaborate with layout engineers on parasitic-aware implementation and post-layout verification
• Support silicon bring-up, laboratory characterization, debugging, and performance correlation versus simulation
• Work cross-functionally with system, device, packaging, and product teams to define specifications and document results

What We're Looking For

• PhD in IC design or related field, ideally with two to three years of postdoctoral experience
• Solid foundation in analog circuit design, including gain, bandwidth, noise, linearity, feedback, and stability
• Strong understanding of RF and high-speed systems with ability to translate theoretical concepts into robust circuit designs
• Knowledge of CMOS and FinFET device physics and high-frequency circuit behavior
• Understanding of integrated photonic circuits, particularly modulators and photodetectors
• Experience with high-speed or RF circuit blocks such as amplifiers, clocking circuits, SerDes, or optical interfaces
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre for custom IC design and simulation
• Experience with Python for data analysis and automation
• Familiarity with RF and high-frequency tools (ADS, HFSS, or equivalent electromagnetic simulation tools)
• Knowledge of post-layout extraction and verification tools
• Experience with high-speed laboratory test equipment and data-analysis workflows
• Strong simulation, debugging, and data-analysis skills including PVT and Monte Carlo interpretation
• Collaborative approach with clear communication skills and willingness to contribute throughout development from concept to silicon
