Analog​/RFIC Design Engineer

About the Client:

Our client is a global leader in advanced wireless and optical communication technologies. Their Milan-based R&D center focuses on pioneering research in millimeter-wave (mmWave) and optical communication systems, including E/W/D-band RFICs, free-space optical (FSO) systems, active phased arrays, and optical front‑end ICs like TIAs and drivers.

The team works on cutting‑edge semiconductor designs, contributing to both internal innovation and industry standards, aiming to power the next generation of high‑speed data and communication systems, including 6G, optical transceivers, and phased‑array architectures.

The client is seeking a Senior Analog/RF IC Design Engineer to join their international R&D team in Milan. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in designing analog and RF integrated circuits for optical and high‑frequency communication systems.

• Design and optimize high-performance analog and RFIC blocks (e.g., TIAs, drivers, amplifiers).
• Analyze system requirements and define circuit-level specifications in collaboration with system engineers.
• Conduct schematic design, simulation, and layout support through to physical implementation.
• Evaluate trade-offs between performance, area, and power for different circuit solutions.
• Support lab validation and silicon debugging of prototypes.
• Share design practices and technical insights with the global team.

• Master’s degree in electrical/Electronic Engineering or related;
  PhD preferred.
• Several years of hands‑on experience in analog/RFIC circuit design, preferably in optical or mmWave systems.
• Proven expertise with Cadence tools and modern CMOS/SiGe BiCMOS technologies.
• Solid knowledge of high-frequency analog design techniques (low-noise, high-speed, low power).
• Tape‑out and production experience in complex IC projects.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in multicultural, multi-disciplinary teams.
• Fluent in English; willing to travel internationally as needed.
