Talented Analog IC Designer

Gain eternal fame and have lots of fun

What you will do

Are you a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in analog, mixed-signal, RF, and/or mm-wave IC design? Is your ambition to work in a diverse research environment amongst some of the top researchers in the world? Are you an excellent communicator who thrives on a multi-disciplinary team?

Imec offers you the place to deploy your talents.  We are performing advanced research in several high-end applications, where the development of state-of-the-art integrated circuits is a key enabler. Our projects are executed in close collaboration with industry partners, and often cover the complete field from applications to architecture concepts, circuit specs, down to final implementation and demonstration. We are also very involved and visible in the scientific and academic community, engage PhD students in our research and publish our results in top conferences and journals, allowing our researchers to grow in their career and collaborate with other institutes.

We are constantly looking for those that will help push the frontiers of analog and mixed signal circuits and devices - be it for imagers, (biomedical) sensors, wireless and wireline communications, quantum computing or otherwise. The intersections and challenges on all of these are becoming ever more intertwined.

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at one of its locations: Leuven (Belgium), Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Kissemmee (Florida, US). With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow. 

We are proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. 

We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a competitive salary with many fringe benefits.
