We design and build mission-critical infrastructure for the multi-million-drone era.\nAt Sine, you will work with cutting-edge technologies tested in some of the world’s most challenging environments, with the opportunity to see your ideas evolve into an ecosystem that contributes to global safety and progress.\nWe are looking for Silicon Engineers (all levels) to join our team building next-generation Radio System-on-Chips (SoCs) from the ground up. Whether your strength is in design or verification, you will work alongside an exceptional team of engineers shaping silicon that powers resilient, high-performance wireless links - from initial RTL to tape-out and field validation.\nWe are hiring across experience levels, from early-career engineers to senior contributors ready to own complex subsystems. Multiple positions across different disciplines are open and will be filled on a rolling basis.\nResponsibilities\nRTL design, verification, and/or virtual modeling of SoC blocks across the digital data path - including modem baseband, application engines, interconnects, and peripheral subsystems\n\nFor design-focused engineers: Specify and develop RTL (Verilog / SystemVerilog / VHDL), drive micro-architecture decisions, and support synthesis, timing closure, and physical design handoff\n\nFor verification-focused engineers: Build testbenches and verification environments (UVM / SystemVerilog), define coverage and verification plans (including formal verification where applicable), and drive blocks to coverage closure and sign-off\n\nFor mixed-signal engineers: Specify, design, implement, verify, and validate analog and mixed-signal components for wireless communication systems and custom digital IC blocks (e.g., I/O, frequency synthesizers)\n\nParticipate in design and code reviews, SoC bring-up, silicon validation, and debugging across RTL, gate-level, and post-silicon stages\n\nSkills & Experience\nBackground in digital design or verification - from recent graduates with strong fundamentals and relevant project work to senior engineers with multiple SoCs brought to silicon\n\nSolid understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL (Verilog / SystemVerilog / VHDL)\n\nFor design candidates: Understanding of timing, CDC, linting, simulation, and low-power design techniques (scaled to experience level)\n\nFor verification candidates: Understanding of verification methodologies (UVM, constrained-random, coverage-driven), scripting (Python / Tcl / Perl), and simulation flows\n\nFamiliarity with SoC concepts: bus protocols (e.g., AXI / AHB), clock and reset architectures, and memory subsystems\n\nEnglish proficiency at B1 level or higher\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with wireless/radio SoCs, modem baseband, or DSP blocks\n\nExperience with AI-assisted code generation and tools; curiosity to develop AI-driven design flows\n\nExperience with high-speed interfaces (e.g., die-to-die, MIPI, LVDS)\n\nExposure to formal verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping\n\nExperience with low-power design\n\nExperience with mixed-signal or analog design\n\nExperience in defense or dual-use systems\n\nExperience with SystemC and virtual modeling\n\nOpen-source hardware contributions, academic publications, or relevant project portfolios (especially for early-career candidates)\n\nWhat We Offer\nPaid Time Off\n4+1 weeks of vacation from your first day\n\nHealth & Wellness Package\nLunch benefit: daily allowance up to the tax-free limit\n\nSport & culture benefit: annual budget for gyms, sports, and cultural activities\n\nWellbeing allowance: support for massage, mental health services, and other wellness needs\n\nExtended occupational healthcare: enhanced coverage including partial dental care.\n\nAccident insurance (24/7): coverage during both work and personal time\n\nBusiness travel insurance\n\nOffice perks: coffee, snacks, fruits, and more\n\nWork Model\nFlexible working hours (core hours: 10:00-15:00)\n\nNo-crunch policy - no systematic overtime; any overtime is compensated\n\nMeeting-light culture with protected focus time\n\nGrowth & Innovation\nHigh-end equipment (premium laptop, monitor, peripherals)\n\nAnnual lab & gadget budget for hardware, tools, books, and learning materials\n\nHackathons and offsites focused on innovation\n\nTravel & Mobility\nFull coverage of business travel expenses (tickets, accommodation, transportation)\n\nPer diem according to maximum tax-free Vero rates\n\nImpact & Culture\nLow-hierarchy, engineering-driven environment\n\nHigh autonomy with zero micromanagement\n\nLocation\nTampere, Finland\nCulture Statement\nDon’t meet every requirement? Research shows that many candidates hesitate to apply unless they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Sine Engineering, we value authenticity and encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn’t perfectly match every requirement.\nYou may be the ideal candidate for this role - or for another opportunity with us.\nJoin our team and help shape the future of UAV technology.\nPrivacy Notice\nBy applying for this position, you consent to the processing of your personal data for recruitment purposes.
