Senior IC Design Engineer – BiCMOS / High-Speed Analogue

• Sophia-Antipolis, South of France – Office based dull time
• €100,000 base + bonus and RSUs

Are you an experienced RFIC or analog/mixed-signal IC designer looking for a role where you can tackle complex, high-frequency design challenges and make a real impact on next-generation connectivity technology?

We’re working with a leading international semiconductor business developing advanced technologies for high-speed optical and electrical communications, data centres and next-generation connectivity applications.

They're looking for a technically strong Senior RFIC Design Engineer to join an established engineering team in Sophia-Antipolis, working on demanding analogue and mixed-signal IC designs operating at frequencies of 50–100 GHz.

The opportunity

You'll take technical ownership of high-performance semiconductor design projects, working on critical circuit blocks used to transmit, receive and condition ultra-high-speed signals. Your work will contribute to technologies supporting increasingly demanding data rates across optical communications, high-performance computing and data-centre infrastructure.

This is a hands-on technical role for an engineer who enjoys solving difficult design problems, driving projects forward and working closely with experienced engineers in a well-resourced laboratory environment.

What you'll be working on

• High-frequency analogue and mixed-signal IC design.
• BiCMOS circuit design for broadband, high-speed applications.
• Circuit blocks including transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), equalisers, laser/VCSEL drivers and cable drivers.
• Electromagnetic modelling, parasitic extraction and advanced design analysis using tools such as EMX and HFSS.
• Taking designs through development, evaluation, silicon validation and product qualification.
• Providing technical direction and ownership throughout the product development cycle.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience in analogue or mixed-signal integrated circuit design.
• Recent, hands-on BiCMOS design experience.
• Experience with high-frequency design in the tens of GHz, ideally around 50–100 GHz.
• A background in RFIC or microwave, high-speed analogue design.
• Experience with relevant circuit blocks such as TIAs, equalisers, laser drivers or other high-speed communication circuits.
• A proven track record of taking IC designs through tape-out and silicon evaluation.
• Experience with EMX, HFSS or comparable electromagnetic simulation and extraction tools would be a significant advantage.

What's on offer?

• €100,000 base salary, plus an annual bonus, plus RSU’s.
• Additional long-term incentive compensation.
• The opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies with real-world applications across optical communications and data-centre connectivity.
• A technically strong, collaborative engineering team with dedicated laboratory resources.

The position is office-based in Sophia-Antipolis, in the South of France.
