Dolphin Semiconductor is an innovative and dynamic company specializing in intellectual property for semiconductors.

As part of its development, Jolt Capital, a private equity firm specializing in European deeptech, has acquired Dolphin Design's mixed signal IP business. This acquisition led to the creation of Dolphin Semiconductor, which is committed to investing €26 million to support its growth.

Your main responsibilities as an M&A Analyst (W/M):

• Sourcing and market analysis: Identify acquisition opportunities, manage a pipeline, conduct market analysis, and develop relationships with key ecosystem players (venture capital funds, accelerators, etc.).
• Financial analysis and due diligence: Prepare financial models, evaluate target financial statements, conduct in-depth due diligence, and analyze synergies and potential risks.
• Coordination and strategy: Oversee cross-functional teams during acquisitions, evaluate strategic and operational aspects, and prepare recommendations for senior management.
• Support in negotiations: Participate in negotiations, structuring, and execution of transactions.
• Post-acquisition: Contribute to the integration of acquired companies, optimize synergies, and monitor their performance through key indicators.

You will report to the EVP Sales and Corporate Development.
