Principal Analog Design Engineer

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. Your primary responsibilities will include: Design & Architecture: You will analyze and interpret block specifications, taking ownership of transistor-level design and selecting the most appropriate topologies. This role involves designing entire analog macros or IPs from initial concept to final mass production. Verification & Validation: You will be responsible for modeling and validating circuit blocks. A crucial part of your role will be to supervise and guide layout activities, providing clear guidelines and conducting rigorous post-layout verifications to ensure design integrity. Collaboration & Leadership: This is a highly collaborative role. You will work closely with other engineering teams to enhance existing solutions and participate in cross-functional meetings. A key expectation is to train and mentor junior designers, helping to build the team's collective expertise and technical strength. Project Management: You will manage both pre-silicon tasks, such as simulation and modeling, and post-silicon tasks, including lab characterization, debugging, and correlating measurements to simulations, all the way to 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: This is an on-site, full-time position located in Pavia, Italy. Employment Type: Full-Time Experience: 12-15 years Monthly Salary: 75,000 - 110,000 J-18808-Ljbffr
