Descrizione del lavoro

The Chips-IT Foundation seeks a Microwave Design Engineer researcher to develop advanced passive components and integrated antennas for millimeter-wave applications. Focus areas include on-chip and in-package antennas, waveguides, couplers, and launchers for compact, scalable phased-array transceivers. The work spans CMOS, SiGe BiCMOS, hybrid, and 3D integration technologies, targeting next-gen 5G / 6G networks, wireless sensors, and radar systems.

Key Responsibilities :

• Conduct research and development on passive components and printed / integrated antennas for RF and millimeter-wave circuits.
• Design and simulate on-chip and in-package antennas, waveguides, splitters, couplers, and launchers at the sub-millimeter scale for chip, package, or PCB-level implementations.
• Develop electromagnetic models and optimize designs using EM simulation tools.
• Perform electromagnetic modeling of chip, package, and transitions to ensure efficient integration and optimal system-level performance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for the integration of antennas and passive components into RFICs systems and advanced modules.
• Experimentally validate the designed solutions through measurements in anechoic chambers and chip / package-level testing.
• Supervise Master’s and PhD students, providing guidance on research projects and development in electromagnetic design.
• Contribute to intellectual property protection through patents and publications in leading journals and conferences.
• Stay updated on emerging trends in antenna and passive component design for RF and mmWave integrated circuits.

Required Qualifications :

• Master or PhD in electrical or electronic engineering or a related field, with a focus on electromagnetic design for RF / mmWave components.
• Experience in designing on-chip or in-package antennas, passive components, and electromagnetic simulations.
• Proficiency in CAD tools for EM simulations (Ansys HFSS, CST Studio, Sonnet, ADS Momentum).
• Expertise in antenna and passive component measurement using high-frequency instrumentation (network and spectrum analyzers, anechoic chambers).
• Familiarity with advanced silicon integration technologies is desirable (CMOS, SiGe BiCMOS, advanced packaging, AiP / AoC antennas).
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with an aptitude for solving complex problems in team working.
• Determination in pursuing innovative solutions and developing new technologies.
• Leadership skills and ability to adapt working in multidisciplinary teams.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation and contract type, to be negotiated based on qualifications and experience
• Lunch tickets
• Private health care coverage depending on your role and contract
• Structured growth path, with ongoing access to training and updates
• Networking opportunities with industry-leading professionals
• International environment
• Tax deductions : Candidates from abroad, comprising Italian citizens, who have carried scientific research activity abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a taxable income deduction up to 90% for a period of 6 to 13 years
