Shape the future of the next generation of NR+ microchips with us.We are looking for experienced RF IC Designers to strengthen our RF and Analog/Mixed-Signal team and help us develop state-of-the-art systems and beyond, based on FD-SOI technology. If you are passionate about designing cutting-edge circuits and want to contribute to a new class of wireless communication, this is the right place for you.

Your Responsibilities

  • Design RF integrated circuits for wireless communication systems in deep sub-micron CMOS technology.
  • Perform top-level simulations to validate and optimize design concepts.
  • Collaborate closely with the layout team and run high-level simulations to verify and refine designs.
  • Derive block-level specifications for analog and digital components.
  • Conduct pre-tapeout verification including performance, power, reliability, and timing analyses.
  • Define production and lab test plans for post-silicon characterization.
  • Support lab teams in performing RF measurements for IP validation.
  • Analyze ATE and lab test results, identify yield issues, and drive corrective actions.
  • Work closely with the system team on integration, debugging, and design optimization.
  • Present your results in design reviews and demonstrate compliance with specifications.

Your Profile

  • Several years of experience in RF/Analog IC design from industry.
  • Experience with modern CMOS process nodes (experience with 22FDX is a plus).
  • Experience with the full RFIC product development lifecycle, from concept through high-volume production.
  • Solid knowledge and tape-out experience with at least one of the following blocks:
    • PA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLL, LO, VGA
  • Strong command of analog design concepts (e.g., noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability).
  • Experience in RF device modeling, noise parameters, inductance modeling, package effects, supply isolation, RF ESD structures, and RF-optimized layout.
  • Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and calibration methods.
  • Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, EMX, or similar tools.
  • Practical experience in silicon characterization, debugging, and translating system specifications into circuit requirements.

What We Offer

  • Impact & Innovation: Join an agile, innovative start-up where you directly shape the development of a new wireless technology – non-cellular 5G for everyone.
  • Responsibility & Growth: Permanent position with a high level of responsibility, short decision-making paths, and excellent development opportunities.
  • Culture: Open, international, and collaborative team environment with flat hierarchies and room for your ideas.
  • Benefits:
    • attractive salary package and additional benefits
    • Public transport job ticket or Job Bike (55 € monthly subsidy)
    • Free use of the on-site gym
    • Regular team events and a culture of trust and appreciation
  • Location: Modern, bright office spaces in a central location in Dresden (near the main train station & TU Dresden) with excellent public transport connections.
