Overview

Principal Analog Design Engineer

Pavia, Italy €85,000 to €110,000 + Bonus + SIGNING BONUS + Paid Relocation

This role is a key position within our Optical PHY (CE-OPHY) team, which is part of our Central Engineering division. Our team is at the forefront of designing high-speed and optical transceivers for modern communication infrastructure. This technology is critical for addressing the explosive demand for bandwidth in mega data centers that power social media, video-on-demand, gaming, and other real-time data streams. We are dedicated to developing innovative, first-to-market chips and subsystem solutions that push the boundaries of data rates and power efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• As a Senior Principal Analog Design Engineer, you will be a technical leader responsible for the complete design cycle of complex analog circuits.
• Design & Architecture: Analyze and interpret block specifications, own transistor-level design, and select the most appropriate topologies. Design entire analog macros or IPs from initial concept to final mass production.
• Verification & Validation: Model and validate circuit blocks. Supervise and guide layout activities, provide clear guidelines, and conduct post-layout verifications to ensure design integrity.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Collaborate with other engineering teams to enhance existing solutions. Train and mentor junior designers to build the team’s technical strength.
• Project Management: Manage pre-silicon tasks (simulation and modeling) and post-silicon tasks (lab characterization, debugging, and correlating measurements to simulations) through high-volume production.

Candidate Profile

We are seeking a seasoned engineer with a deep background in analog IC design and a passion for pushing technological limits.

Education & Experience : A Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required, along with 12-15 years of professional experience.

Technical Skills : You must have proven experience in designing ICs from the architecture definition phase through to lab characterization and volume production. Solid experience in analog design, preferably in the multi-GHz range, is a must. Proficiency in supervising custom analog layout, using standard EDA CAD tools, and debugging designs to correlate simulations with measurements is essential.

Preferred Qualifications : Experience with multi-Gbps electrical SerDes or electro-optical transceivers is highly desirable. Knowledge of advanced CMOS nodes, including FinFET, would also be a significant advantage.

Personal Skills : You should possess strong communication, presentation, and documentation skills. Given our international team and location, proficiency in both written and spoken Italian and English (at a minimum B2 level) is required.

Work Model

Work Model : This is an on-site, full-time position located in Pavia, Italy.
