Sr RF/Analog IC Design Engineer (m/f/d) - Munich, DE, United States
Originally posted 13 August 2026 by the employer — open 34 days.
This role focuses on the design and development of RF, analog, and mixed-signal IC solutions for mobile handset applications.
About the role
This role is focused on the design and development of RF, analog, and mixed-signal IC solutions for advanced mobile handset applications, supporting integration, silicon validation, and product-level performance improvements.
What you'll do
- Design and develop RF ICs including LNAs, drivers, and RF switches in CMOS and SOI technologies.
- Design analog and mixed-signal support blocks such as bandgaps, charge pumps, LDOs, level shifters, OpAmps, and bias/control circuits.
- Support RF integration into multi-chip modules, including large-signal analysis and EM simulation.
- Contribute to device characterization, measurement troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of RF and analog design issues.
- Translate product and system requirements into clear design specifications and implementation plans.
- Present design reviews including expected performance, simulation results, silicon results, risks, and mitigation plans.
What you'll need
- Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.
- 3+ years of experience in RF/analog IC design, mixed-signal circuit design, or related semiconductor product development.
- Proven silicon tape-out experience and strong ownership of designs from concept through validation.
- Experience designing with Cadence, ADS, and HFSS or similar tools.
- Strong knowledge of RF design techniques, layout effects, EM-aware design, and practical tradeoffs in integrated RF circuits.
- Experience with measurements and characterization.
- Good understanding of device physics, especially tradeoffs for analog circuitry.
Nice to have
- PhD in Electrical Engineering in Analog/RF IC design.
Skills: RF ICs, LNAs, RF switches, CMOS and SOI, Cadence, ADS, HFSS
