Principal Analog Design EngineerPavia, Italy€85,000 to €110,000 + Bonus + SIGNING PREMIO + Paid RelocationThis 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 ResponsibilitiesDesign & Architecture: Analyze and interpret block specifications, taking ownership of transistor-level design and selecting the most appropriate topologies. Design entire analog macros or IPs from initial concept to final mass production.Verification & Validation: Model and validate circuit blocks. Supervise and guide layout activities, providing clear guidelines and conducting rigorous post-layout verifications to ensure design integrity.Collaboration & Leadership: Work closely with other engineering teams to enhance existing solutions and participate in cross-functional meetings. Train and mentor junior designers, building the team’s collective expertise and technical strength.Project Management: Manage 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 ProfileEducation & Experience: Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, along with 12-15 years of professional experience.Technical Skills: Proven experience in designing ICs from architecture definition phase through to lab characterization and volume production. Solid experience in analog design, preferably in the multi-GHz range. Proficiency in supervising custom analog layout, using standard EDA CAD tools, and debugging designs to correlate simulations with measurements.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: Strong communication, presentation, and documentation skills. Proficiency in both written and spoken Italian and English (at a minimum B2 level) is required.Work ModelThis is an on-site, full-time position located in Pavia, Italy.#J-18808-Ljbffr
