Job description
About the Role
Join an early-stage AI computing company developing chips that use CMOS thermal noise for probabilistic computing. As a Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Engineer, you will lead key circuit and architecture work for upcoming chip designs, collaborating across engineering disciplines to bring new computing approaches to silicon.
What You'll Do
Lead design of analog and mixed-signal blocks, including ADCs, PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, serializers and deserializers, oscillators, and dividers.
Own substantial portions of chip architecture and potentially serve as design lead 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 implementations.
Contribute to lab testing and validation of fabricated chips using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
What We're Looking For
Six 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 with a focus on circuits or IC design.
Experience completing multiple tape-outs, including in FinFET or 28nm/65nm processes.
Strong CMOS circuit design skills and experience across multiple circuit types and designs of meaningful complexity.
Proficiency with Cadence simulation, including parasitic extraction, Monte Carlo analysis, and process corners.
Hands-on layout experience and the flexibility to work beyond a narrow specialization in a startup environment.
Experience with tools and languages such as Python and C is relevant.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary is $200,000 to $325,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
Hybrid, with three days per week on-site in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
