Shape the future of the next generation of NR+ microchips with us.We are looking for experienced RF IC Designers to strengthen our RF and Analog/Mixed-Signal team and help us develop state-of-the-art systems based on FD-SOI technology. If you are passionate about designing cutting-edge circuits and want to contribute to a new class of wireless communication, this is the right place for you.

Your Responsibilities

• Develop behavioral models to support architectural decisions and derive block-level specifications for analog and digital components.
• Perform top-level simulations to validate and optimize design concepts.
• Collaborate closely with the layout team and run high-level simulations to verify and refine designs.
• Conduct pre-tapeout verification including performance, power, reliability, and timing analyses.
• Define production and lab test plans for post-silicon characterization.
• Support lab teams in performing RF measurements for IP validation.
• Analyze ATE and lab test results, identify yield issues, and drive corrective actions.
• Work closely with the system team on integration, debugging, and design optimization.
• Present your results in design reviews and demonstrate compliance with specifications.

Your Profile

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or equivalent qualification.
• Several years of experience in RF/Analog IC design with modern CMOS process nodes (experience with 22FDX is a plus).
• Solid knowledge and tape-out experience with at least one of the following blocks:
• RF front-end, PA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLL, LO, VGA, filters, TIA or analog baseband blocks in deep submicron CMOS.
• Strong command of analog design concepts (e.g., noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability).
• Experience in RF device modeling, noise parameters, inductance modeling, package effects, supply isolation, RF ESD structures, and RF-optimized layout.
• Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and calibration methods.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, EMX, or similar tools.
• Practical experience in silicon characterization, debugging, and translating system specifications into circuit requirements.

What We Offer

• Impact & Innovation: Join an agile, innovative start-up where you directly shape the development of a new wireless technology – non-cellular 5G for everyone .
• Responsibility & Growth: Permanent position with a high level of responsibility, short decision-making paths, and excellent development opportunities.
• Culture: Open, international, and collaborative team environment with flat hierarchies and room for your ideas.
• Benefits:
• attractive salary package and additional benefits
• Public transport job ticket or Job Bike (55 € monthly subsidy)
• Free use of the on-site gym
• Regular team events and a culture of trust and appreciation
• Location: Modern, bright office spaces in a central location in Dresden (near the main train station & TU Dresden) with excellent public transport connections.

Employee benefits

Based in Dresden, Germany – the heart of Silicon Saxony – we are a semiconductor startup for the breakthrough development of a new non-cellular 5G wireless chipset that enables secure massive IoT use cases.

Driven by a vision of a future where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, encompassing homes, industries, public spaces and healthcare, we strive to optimize resource and energy consumption while establishing global digital sovereignty. To realize this vision, we are actively developing a low-cost and ultra-low-power 5G wireless chipset based on the revolutionary NR+ non cellular private 5G standard.
