Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer

About the Role

Join a small AI and computing hardware team developing CMOS chips for probabilistic computing. As Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer, you will lead circuit design and help define chip architecture from concept through tape-out and lab validation.

What You'll Do

• Design analog and mixed-signal blocks, including ADCs, PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, high-speed SerDes, oscillators, and dividers.

• Own significant portions of chip architecture and potentially lead circuit design for a planned chip.

• Perform hands-on layout and design verification, including DRC, ERC, and LVS.

• Work with IC, systems, physics, and algorithms teams to translate probabilistic computing concepts into silicon.

• Help test and validate fabricated chips using lab equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

What We're Looking For

• 6 to 20 years of analog and mixed-signal IC design experience, including work on blocks such as PLLs, ADCs, or SerDes.

• An MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering focused on circuits or IC design.

• CMOS circuit design expertise and multiple tape-outs, including experience with FinFET or 28nm/65nm processes.

• Proficiency with Cadence simulation, including parasitic extraction, Monte Carlo analysis, and process corners.

• Hands-on layout experience and the ability to work across circuit types and responsibilities in a small-team environment.

• Experience with Python and C is relevant to the role.
