IC Design Engineer

IC Design Engineer - Cork, Ireland

Salary: up to €70,000 depending on experience (would look at more junior staff as well)

Benefits: Training, development and progression to management

I'm currently supporting a leading European technology organisation in their search for a Back-End CMOS Design Engineer to join their growing hub based in Cork, Ireland. This company works across high-performance integrated systems, collaborating with some of the top technology firms and research bodies across Europe.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of advanced SoC development projects, working closely with international teams and contributing to cutting-edge design in deep sub-micron CMOS processes. The role offers excellent scope for professional growth, a competitive salary, and the chance to work on major European innovation projects.

The Role

As a Back-End CMOS Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for the back-end design of advanced SoC devices, specifically in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies (28nm FD SOI CMOS or similar). You'll play a key role in digital back-end design flows and collaborate with highly skilled teams across Europe.

What We're Looking For

• 2-5 years of hands-on experience in CMOS back-end design
• Strong skills in:
  • RTL to Gate: Synopsys tools (scripting, synthesis, formality, ATPG, timing closure)
  • Gate to GDS: Cadence tools (scripting, place & route, clock tree generation, GDS generation, timing closure, power/signal integrity, DRC, LVS, electromigration, antenna effects, etc.)
• Must be an EU citizen with a clean criminal record

Why Apply?

• Opportunity to work on high-profile European projects
• Be part of an expanding Irish hub with direct collaboration across Europe
• Career progression and professional development support
• Competitive package in line with experience

If you're an ambitious engineer with solid CMOS back-end design experience and want to take the next step in your career, I'd be keen to speak with you.
