Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer

About the Role

Join an AI hardware team developing chips that use thermal noise in CMOS for probabilistic computing. In this principal-level role, you will lead analog and mixed-signal design and help shape architecture for upcoming chip programs.

What You'll Do

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

• Own significant parts of chip architecture and potentially serve as design lead for a chip program.

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

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

• Help test and validate fabricated chips in the lab using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

What We're Looking For

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

• CMOS circuit design expertise and experience across multiple circuit types, beyond a narrow specialization.

• Multiple completed tape-outs, including experience with FinFET or 28 nm or 65 nm processes.

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

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

• Hands-on layout experience and willingness to contribute to practical work beyond a core specialty in a startup environment.
