Job description

WeAreIn for shaping the future of semiconductor innovation. Join the thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers behind tomorrow's technology. As a Staff Engineer Analog Design in our Research & Development team, you'll have the opportunity to merge creativity with your technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking projects, and bringing new ideas to life. Are you in? In this role, you will contribute to the development of highly integrated semiconductor solutions that enable efficient power conversion, intelligent energy management, and sustainable technologies. Working closely with system architects, layout engineers, verification specialists, and product engineers, you will help bring innovative semiconductor products from concept to silicon.

Your role

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks, taking them from concept and architecture definition through implementation to silicon validation.
• Own block-level development, including verification, reliability analysis, performance optimization, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with layout and cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration and robust implementation.
• Support first-silicon bring-up, characterization, debugging, and correlation of simulation and measurement results.
• Drive product support activities throughout development, qualification, ramp-up, and production phases.
• Contribute to design methodology improvements and knowledge sharing within the team.

Your profile

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics or Physics with at least 3 years of experience in analog or analog/mixed-signal IC design. Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, analog circuit design principles, CMOS technologies, mismatch effects, noise mechanisms, stability analysis, and reliability considerations. Experience designing analog circuit blocks such as amplifiers, operational amplifiers, voltage and current references, bias circuits, comparators, oscillators, power management circuits, or data converter support blocks. Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and related simulation environments. Understanding analog layout methodologies, parasitic effects, and their impact on circuit performance; experience with silicon validation, debug activities and lab characterization is an advantage. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; programming or scripting experience (e.g., Python, SKILL, MATLAB) or similar environments is beneficial. Good communication skills in English. German is a plus.

We offer competitive salaries and additional benefits based on your performance, experience and qualification. The employment is in accordance with the collective salary and wage agreement for employees of the electrical and electronics industry, employment group G (https://www.feei.at/aktuelles/mindestloehne-und-gehaelter-eei/). The monthly salary is paid 14 times p.a. We offer a higher compensation depending on your expertise and skills.
