Senior analog, RF & mmWave IC Designer

Research and design innovative analog, mixed signal, RF and millimeter wave circuits

What you will do

The Imec ARF group in Leuven enjoys a world-class reputation in advanced communication and radar and millimeter wave sensing systems. In these fields, the group has a vertical system approach: our expertise ranges from antenna, frontend, baseband, analog-to-digital conversion to algorithms and systems. The group also combines innovative communication and sensing technologies that unleash the full potential of future smart cities, smart health and internet of things (IoT). Furthermore, research is also done in the fields of advanced wireline communication, future RF technologies, mmwave sensing for lifesciences, mmwave imaging, …

Specifically for IC design, the group is led by Piet Wambacq and Jan Craninckx, and has an established state-of-the-art research reputation that has been confirmed over the years by our extensive presence in top conferences in solid-state circuit design, such as ISSCC, RFIC, ESSCIRC, VLSI and CICC.

As an independent research center, we collaborate closely with top players in both industry and academia, giving our people a continuous exposure to both the latest evolutions in industrial challenges and approaches, as well as into the newest emerging academic ideas and paradigms.

In this job, your key responsibilities will be:

• Research and design innovative analog, mixed signal, RF and millimeter wave circuits, both in CMOS and III-V technologies
• Drive the bottom-up evolution of analog, mixed signal, RF and millimeter wave designs taking technology scaling into account.
• Together with the team, bring new ideas, new technical methods based on your solid technical experience.
• Take part in the interaction with external partners and towards new prospect, as part of the technical support.
• Publish your state-of-the-art research results in international conferences or journals.
