Job description

CoreHW is a Finnish fabless semiconductor company founded in 2013. We design and supply high-performance ICs and advanced RTLS technologies for international customers across wireless communications, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial applications. Through continuous innovation and collaboration with industry leaders, we deliver complete solutions from expert-level design services to turnkey IC products, tailored to our customers’ needs. Read more about us at corehw.com .

We are now looking for an experienced Senior Analog IC Design Engineer to strengthen our Analog and Mixed-Signal Design team.

You will work on demanding analog and mixed-signal ICs for international customers, as well as on CoreHW’s own technology and IP development. Our projects span applications such as power management, data conversion, clock generation, sensor interfaces, imaging, telecommunications and automotive electronics.

This is a hands-on design role with ownership of analog blocks from specification and transistor-level design through layout, verification and silicon validation. You will make technical trade-offs, solve complex circuit-level problems and work closely with specialists across the IC development flow.

Your role

In this position, you will:

• Translate system and block-level requirements into robust analog circuit implementations
• Design and verify analog and mixed-signal circuits at transistor level
• Take ownership of design blocks from specification and schematic design through layout support and sign-off
• Verify performance across process, voltage and temperature variations, including mismatch, noise and relevant reliability requirements
• Guide layout implementation and review critical layouts for matching, parasitics, isolation and reliability
• Perform post-layout verification and resolve performance and integration issues
• Document design decisions, assumptions, simulation results and verification evidence
• Collaborate closely with system, RF, digital, verification, layout, test and project management teams
• Participate in technical planning, design reviews and customer discussions
• Support tape-out, laboratory characterization, qualification and post-silicon debugging

You will also contribute to reusable IP, common design methods and the continued development of CoreHW’s analog design capability.

What we are looking for

You have:

• A B.Sc., M.Sc. or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, electronics, microelectronics or a related field
• Strong professional experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design
• Demonstrated ownership of analog design blocks through a complete IC development cycle
• Experience with Cadence, Synopsys or equivalent IC design and simulation tools
• A strong understanding of CMOS circuit design, semiconductor devices, noise, mismatch and process variation
• Experience with schematic design, circuit simulation, layout collaboration and post-layout verification
• The ability to work independently, assess technical trade-offs and solve complex design problems
• Good documentation and communication skills in English

Experience in one or more of the following areas is considered an advantage:

• LDOs, DC/DC converters, charge pumps or other power‑management circuits
• ADCs, DACs or other data‑converter architectures
• Bandgaps, references, temperature sensors or biasing circuits
• PLLs, clock generation or oscillator circuits
• Sensor interfaces, imaging ICs, readout circuits or ultra‑low‑power design
• Mixed‑signal verification and behavioral modeling
• Laboratory characterization and post‑silicon debugging

You do not need experience in every application area. We value technical depth in your own field and the ability to apply that expertise to new design challenges.

What we offer

You will work alongside highly experienced analog, RF, digital, system and layout specialists on technically demanding designs. Our work covers technologies ranging from advanced FinFET and 22 nm FDSOI to established CMOS and BCD processes.

The role offers direct influence over circuit architectures, implementation choices and design practices, with opportunities to follow your designs beyond simulation into silicon.

You will work alongside highly experienced specialists who bring deep technical knowledge and practical design experience to the same table. We value open technical discussion, sharing expertise and asking for support when needed. You will have ownership of your work, with experienced colleagues to challenge ideas and solve difficult problems together.

We offer flexible working hours and hybrid working, with regular office presence to support collaboration, knowledge sharing and hands‑on engineering. The practical arrangements depend on your role, project and location.

We offer:

• Technically demanding international projects
• A low‑hierarchy environment with a high level of autonomy
• For employees based in Finland, we offer comprehensive occupational healthcare, extensive 24/7 accident insurance covering both work and leisure time, lunch and sport & culture benefits, and annual dental care support.
• The possibility to work from elsewhere in the EU through a consultancy arrangement where suitable
• This is primarily a permanent, full‑time position.

Compensation and application

For employment in Finland and Estonia, the monthly salary will be agreed based on the scope of the role, your competence and your experience, in line with CoreHW’s career and pay framework.

We review applications continuously and may proceed with suitable candidates before the recruitment closes. The application deadline is 23.12.2026.
