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 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

• Develop behavioral models to support architectural decisions and derive block-level specifications for analog and digital components.
• 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.
• 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

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or equivalent qualification.
• Several years of experience in RF/Analog IC design with modern CMOS process nodes (experience with 22FDX is a plus).
• Solid knowledge and tape-out experience with at least one of the following blocks:
  • RF front-end, PA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLL, LO, VGA, filters, TIA or analog baseband blocks in deep submicron CMOS.
• 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.
