Senior Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer

About the Role

Join a semiconductor startup developing thermodynamic computing chips. In this senior role, you will design analog and mixed-signal circuits across multiple chip programs, helping take new computing architectures from concept through silicon.

What You'll Do

• Design circuit blocks such as ADCs, PLLs, bandgap references, regulators, oscillators, high-speed dividers, and serializer/deserializers.

• Own block-level work across architecture, schematic design, layout, and tape-out verification, including DRC, ERC, and LVS.

• Perform hands-on layout and simulations in Cadence, including PEX, Monte Carlo, and corner analysis.

• Support laboratory testing and validation using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

• Collaborate with IC, systems, physics, and algorithms teams to develop mixed-signal computing circuits.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of CMOS analog and mixed-signal IC design experience, with an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering focused on the field.

• Experience designing at least one of the following: ADCs, PLLs, oscillators, regulators, or high-speed SerDes.

• Multiple tape-outs, ideally using FinFET or 28 nm or 65 nm processes.

• Working knowledge of Cadence Virtuoso, PEX, Monte Carlo and corner analysis, and familiarity with Python or C.

• Ability to analyze small-signal and feedback behavior, including closed-loop gain, loading effects, and Miller effects.

• Broad circuit experience, hands-on layout skills, and willingness to contribute beyond a narrow area of specialization.
