Job Summary
We’re looking for a Lead Integrated Circuits Designer with deep expertise in mmWave and Terahertz frequencies to design the core chips that power our vision systems. You’ll work on both transmitter and receiver ICs, using CMOS and SiGe technologies, and take full ownership from design to production and assembly.
You’ll report to the Head of Industrialization & Vision Systems, collaborate closely with electronics and software engineers, and contribute to the core of our technology — the “reactor” that drives our imaging performance.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role where your work will directly shape the performance, speed, and signal quality of our final products.
Duties
- Design and optimize mmWave and Terahertz ICs (Tx & Rx) using CMOS and SiGe
- Participate in chip development from architecture to tape-out, validation, and industrialization
- Perform system-level analysis and define system specifications for sensing and imaging applications
- Apply knowledge of radar systems (e.g., FMCW, SAR) to enhance imaging performance
- Collaborate with electronics and software teams to ensure seamless system integration
- Coordinate production, testing, and assembly of ICs with foundries and subcontractors
- Drive performance optimization: SNR, bandwidth, power, and speed
- Contribute to patent filings, scientific publications, and technology roadmaps
- Support industrial, space, and medical sensing applications
- Represent TiHive at technical conferences and symposia
Skills
- Proven experience in RF/mmWave/Terahertz IC design
- Strong knowledge of Silicon-based technologies: CMOS and SiGe
- Experience with transmitter and receiver architectures
- Expertise in system analysis, specification writing, and signal processing
- Familiarity with radar systems (FMCW, SAR, etc.) and imaging/sensing principles
- Experience with IC production, packaging, and testing workflows
- Passion for high-performance, high-speed systems
- Strong collaboration skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams
- Fluent in English (French is a plus)
