Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit; RFIC Design Engineer

Position: Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Design Engineer
Location: Germany

Join our innovative team as a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Design Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in designing high-speed drivers, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), and control systems specifically for optical communication applications. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to the architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of electronic circuits integrated with photonic circuits. Our dynamic work environment encourages creativity and teamwork, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development.

Embrace the opportunity to tackle exciting challenges that push the boundaries of technology and drive impactful innovations in the optical communication space.

* Design high-speed drivers, TIAs (trans-impedance amplifiers), and control systems for optical communication applications.

* Collaborate on architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of circuits integrated with photonic components.

* Drive high-speed communication product development through innovative solutions.

* Stay current with advancements in CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor), silicon photonics, and optical communications to enhance design approaches.

* MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical work experience.

* Background in high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, with fundamental concepts such as: circuit noise and linearity, linear amplifiers, low noise linear trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), AGC (automatic gain control) circuits and linear equalizers.

* Experience in testing and debugging analog and mixed signal high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) as well as experience with physical design and verification (passive component design using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and HFSS, EMX).

It would be nice if you also had:

* Familiarity with CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) design and manufacturing, including SiGe (Silicon Germanium) and BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor).

* Experience with silicon photonics and optical communications.

* Publications and a record of innovation.

* Familiarity with digital flow (synthesis, static timing, place and route), particularly in the context of state machines for mixed-signal control systems.

* Background in wireline communication and equalization; familiarity with Ser Des (Serializer/Deserializer), CDR (clock-and-data recovery), PLL (phase locked loop), ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).

Some of our benefits:

* Flexible and hybrid working schemes

* A minimum of 90 days of Maternity and Paternity Leave, with the option to return to work within a year following the birth or adoption of a child (based on eligibility)

* Life insurance to all employees to provide peace of mind and financial security

* Well-being programs to support your mental and physical health

* Opportunities to join and receive support from Nokia Employee Resource Groups (NERGs)

* Employee Growth Solutions to support your personalized career & skills development

* Diverse pool of Coaches & Mentors to whom you have easy access
