Job Position: Senior Digital Design Engineer Job in Germany with Visa Sponsorship
Company: European Tech Recruit
Location: North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
We’re working with an award-winning semiconductor company that’s doing something genuinely exciting—they’ve developed and patented a breakthrough wideband transceiver microchip that’s powering the next generation of ultrafast wireless tech (think 5G-Advanced and 6G infrastructure). If you’re a Digital Design Engineer who wants to work on cutting-edge technology that’s actually shaping the future of connectivity, this could be a great fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
We’re looking for engineers with solid experience in either frontend RTL design or backend physical implementation—or even better, both. You’ll be working on high-performance digital and mixed-signal ICs using advanced process nodes like 22FDX and other FinFET/FD-SOI technologies.
Day-to-day, you’ll be
- Taking ownership of RTL design and micro-architecture for digital subsystems (DSP blocks, control logic, interfaces—that kind of thing)
- Working through the backend flow: synthesis, floorplanning, P&R, timing closure, and signoff tasks like STA, LVS, and DRC
- Collaborating with physical design teams to make sure handoffs are smooth and digital/mixed-signal boundaries are clean
- Helping integrate digital blocks with analog and mixed-signal subsystems
- Writing documentation, building testbenches, and jumping in on post-silicon bring-up and debugging when needed
What We’re Looking For
You should be comfortable with:
- RTL design in SystemVerilog or VHDL, plus digital verification and scripting (Python, Tcl, etc.)
- EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor—especially for synthesis, timing analysis, and backend work
- Low-power design techniques, clock domain crossing (CDC), and hierarchical SoC design
- Hands-on physical implementation: floorplanning, P&R, clock tree synthesis, STA, DRC, LVS
- Modern process nodes—ideally 22FDX, 16/12nm FinFET, or similar
- Mixed-signal integration, top-level assembly, and testability concepts (DFT experience is a bonus)
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently without needing your hand held
Experience Level
- Mid-Level: 3–5 years in digital IC design
- Senior-Level: 6+ years, with proven experience owning IP/SoC blocks or leading backend flows
Qualifications
MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field
