Senior Analog & Mixed-Signal Design Engineer Location: Munich, Germany Type: Full-time, Permanent About the Company A leading semiconductor company specialising in high-performance transceiver technologies and mixed-signal ICs for next-generation communication systems. The organisation focuses on integrating advanced analog front ends with digital signal processing to support cutting-edge optical and electronic communication solutions. Role Overview The Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer will be responsible for the specification, architecture, design, simulation, and tape-out of analog and mixed-signal ASIC components. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will ensure designs are high-performance, low-noise, and power-efficient, from concept through to silicon validation. Key Responsibilities Define analog and mixed-signal circuit specifications based on system-level requirements. Architect, design, and simulate blocks such as amplifiers, ADCs/DACs, PLLs, filters, bias generators, and calibration circuits. Conduct block-level and full-chip simulations and optimise designs for performance, area, and yield. Collaborate closely with digital, DSP, and packaging teams to ensure successful integration. Support and oversee layout implementation and perform verification using industry-standard tools. Lead silicon bring-up, including lab validation, debugging, and tuning. Conduct design reviews and promote technical alignment across teams. Mentor junior engineers and help define best practices for design flows and reusable IP development. Qualifications Essential: Master’s or PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering. 5 years of hands-on experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design. Demonstrated success in leading tape-outs and silicon validation. Strong proficiency with design and simulation tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and Calibre. Solid experience in transistor-level design of op-amps, comparators, PLLs, ADCs, etc. Familiarity with industry-standard simulation and verification techniques. Excellent problem-solving skills, documentation, and fluency in English. Desirable: Expertise in low-noise, low-power design methodologies. Familiarity with photonic or electro-optical system integration. Experience with Verilog-AMS and mixed-signal modeling. Track record of mentoring and leadership in cross-disciplinary projects.
