About the role
Are you an Analog Design Engineer passionate about building the high-speed interconnect technology powering the next generation of AI? Join our fast-growing semiconductor startup and help develop disruptive mixed-signal solutions that enable tomorrow's AI infrastructure. We are seeking experienced Analog Design Engineers to architect, design, and deliver high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for next-generation transceivers and other critical high-speed functions. This is an opportunity to work alongside a world-class engineering team, tackle challenging design problems in advanced process technologies, and make a direct impact on innovative products from architecture through silicon.
Locations: Irvine, CA (HQ) | San Jose, CA | Vancouver, BC | Ottawa, ON
What You Will Do
- High speed analog circuit design, such as high-speed broadband amplifiers (VGA, CTLE, DRV, etc.)
- Clock generation and distribution (VCOs, PLL, clock distribution, etc.)
- Fundamental analog blocks (bandgap references, LDOs, temp sensors, etc.)
- New techniques for the development of next generation optical transceiver
- Design of custom passive components, from concept to silicon implementation
- Supervise analog layouts within advanced process nodes
- System verification and circuit design spec creation
- Silicon bring-up, debug and support
- Team communication and documentation
What You Will Bring
- Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields with 5+ years of experience
- Should have strong analog design fundamentals and experience in designing analog circuit blocks for broadband amplification, clock generation and distribution, and/or fundamental analog blocks
- Experience with analog design and verification tools (Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE, and post layout extraction tools) is a must
- Experience in advance CMOS design and verification flows (tools to evaluate self-heating, electromigration, safe operating area)
- Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools (EMX, Momentum, HFSS or other) is a plus
- Knowledge of the fundamentals on electromagnetism, lump models, and high frequency design
- Good understanding of analog layouts in FinFET and its effect on high-speed designs is a plus
- Strong communication and documentation skills
