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.
What You’ll Do
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
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)
