Analog / RF / mmWave Integrated Circuit Design Engineer M/F

The Position We are looking for an experienced Analog, RF, and mmWave Integrated Circuit Design Engineer to contribute to the development of our next generations of terahertz sources, detectors, and imaging systems.

You will be involved in the entire integrated circuit development cycle: architecture definition, circuit design, simulation, layout support, tape-out, silicon characterization, and integration into TiHive systems.

You will also contribute to transforming integrated circuits into functional products by participating in the design of the electronic boards required for their power supply, control, testing, and integration into our THz cameras and sources.

Main Responsibilities Integrated Circuit Design Define the architecture of analog, RF, mmWave, and THz integrated circuits. Design blocks intended for power generation, signal detection, imaging, and sensing. Design amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, detectors, biasing circuits, and analog interfaces. Design and optimize transmission lines, passive structures, and matching networks. Participate in the co-design of antennas, RF circuits, and propagation interfaces. Simulation and Tape-out Perform electrical, RF, electromagnetic, and statistical simulations. Verify circuit performance based on process, voltage, and temperature variations. Collaborate with layout teams and contribute to design reviews. Prepare circuits for tape-out and ensure follow-up with foundries and technological partners. Silicon Characterization Define characterization and validation plans. Design or specify the necessary testing means. Measure, analyze, and debug circuits in the laboratory. Use RF, mmWave, and THz measurement equipment. Compare measurement results to simulations and improve future circuit versions. Electronics and System Integration Design electronic boards for the integration, testing, and validation of integrated circuits. Develop test, biasing, control, and interface boards. Contribute to acquisition and communication interfaces. Participate in the integration of circuits into TiHive cameras, sources, and complete platforms. Resolve issues at the interface between integrated circuits, electronic boards, antennas, optics, and embedded systems.

Engineering degree or PhD in electronics, microelectronics, RF, microwaves, or an equivalent field. At least 5 years of experience in analog, RF, or mmWave integrated circuit design. Strong skills in circuit design and simulation. Good understanding of transmission lines, matching networks, and electromagnetic phenomena. Experience in silicon circuit characterization. Ability to work across the entire development cycle, from architecture to system validation. Autonomy, rigor, and the ability to solve complex technical problems. Good level of professional English. Highly Valued Skills Experience with CMOS, BiCMOS, or SiGe technologies. Experience in mmWave, terahertz, radar, imaging, or detection systems. Knowledge of antenna-circuit co-design. Experience in electronic board design and integration of RF or mmWave circuits. Knowledge of biasing, control, and acquisition circuits. Experience in embedded electronics and system validation. Knowledge of routing and manufacturing constraints for high-frequency PCBs.
