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.
