Overview
Principal Analog Design Engineer
Pavia, Italy
€85,000 to €110,000 + Premio + SIGNING BONUS + Paid Relocation
This role is a key position within our Optical PHY (CE-OPHY) team, which is part of our Central Engineering division.
Our team is at the forefront of designing high-speed and optical transceivers for modern communication infrastructure.
This technology is critical for addressing the explosive demand for bandwidth in mega data centers that power social media, video-on-demand, gaming, and other real-time data streams.
We are dedicated to developing innovative, first-to-market chips and subsystem solutions that push the boundaries of data rates and power efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Architecture: You will analyze and interpret block specifications, taking ownership of transistor-level design and selecting the most appropriate topologies.
This role involves designing entire analog macros or IPs from initial concept to final mass production.
Verification & Validation: You will be responsible for modeling and validating circuit blocks.
A crucial part of your role will be to supervise and guide layout activities, providing clear guidelines and conducting rigorous post-layout verifications to ensure design integrity.
Collaboration & Leadership: This is a highly collaborative role.
You will work closely with other engineering teams to enhance existing solutions and participate in cross-functional meetings.
A key expectation is to train and mentor junior designers, helping to build the team's collective expertise and technical strength.
Project Management: You will manage both pre-silicon tasks, such as simulation and modeling, and post-silicon tasks, including lab characterization, debugging, and correlating measurements to simulations, all the way to high-volume production.
Candidate Profile
We are seeking a seasoned engineer with a deep background in analog IC design and a passion for pushing technological limits.
Education & Experience: A Master\'s degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required, along with ***** years of professional experience.
Technical Skills: You must have proven experience in designing ICs from the architecture definition phase through to lab characterization and volume production.
Solid experience in analog design, preferably in the multi-GHz range, is a must.
Proficiency in supervising custom analog layout, using standard EDA CAD tools, and debugging designs to correlate simulations with measurements is essential.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience with multi-Gbps electrical SerDes or electro-optical transceivers is highly desirable.
Knowledge of advanced CMOS nodes, including FinFET, would also be a significant advantage.
Personal Skills: You should possess strong communication, presentation, and documentation skills.
Given our international team and location, proficiency in both written and spoken Italian and English (at a minimum B2 level) is required.
Work Model: This is an on-site, full-time position located in Pavia, Italy.
