Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI computing hardware team as a Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer. You will lead circuit design and contribute to chip architecture for a novel computing approach that uses CMOS thermal noise for probabilistic sampling.

What You'll Do

• Lead analog and mixed-signal block design for upcoming chip tape-outs, including ADCs, PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, serializers and deserializers, oscillators, and dividers.

• Own substantial parts of chip architecture and potentially lead the design of a planned chip.

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

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

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

What We're Looking For

• 6 or more years of analog and mixed-signal IC design experience, with hands-on work across blocks such as PLLs, ADCs, or SerDes.

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

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

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

• Hands-on layout experience and willingness to take on work beyond a narrow specialty in a collaborative startup environment.

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

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $200,000 to $325,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

Hybrid, with three days per week on-site in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
