Analog IC Design Engineer
Location: Bergamo, Italy (hybrid/remote roles may be considered in exceptional cases)
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking an Analog IC Design Engineer to join a fast-growing team working on the design and
development of cutting-edge silicon transceiver solutions for ultra-high bandwidth, low-latency optical
interconnects targeting generative AI, cellular, and high-bandwidth data transfer applications. You will
have a proven track record in designing high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits in advanced CMOS
FinFET technologies.
What will you be doing?
• Collaborating with photonics, silicon and system engineering teams to develop and optimise
proprietary SerDes architectures, including the development of key design specifications
• Designing and developing key SerDes silicon IP such as high bandwidth receive and transmit
amplifers, Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), Equalisers (CTLE, DFE,
FFE), Clock Recovery Circuits and Samplers
• Designing and developing general purpose analog building blocks (bias generators,
regulators, ADCs and DACs)
• Defining and executing design verification plans to ensure designs meet specifications and
performance requirements
• Supporting the silicon bring-up, validation and characterisation from concept through to
productization
What we need to see?
• Bachelor's or Master’s in a relevant Engineering discipline with 8+ years of industry experience
• A proven track record in designing analog and mixed-signal circuits for SerDes applications
at 7nm or below, and operating at data rates of 32Gbps or above
• Expert user of cutting-edge EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice,
Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS
• A strong theoretical knowledge of analog circuit design principles
• Expert high-speed circuit designer, with experience of signal integrity and power integrity
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven, detail-oriented approach
• Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
• Experience working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional team
• An ability to adapt to a fast-moving start-up environment, striving for innovation and
excellence in everything you do
