Acceler8 Talent is partnering with a startup at the forefront of AI infrastructure to hire Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineers to help build next-generation optical and wireline communication systems. The company is pioneering breakthrough 3D-stacked photonics technology that enables ultra-high-bandwidth connectivity across processors, designed for the most demanding AI and HPC workloads.
Having raised some serious funding, this team is scaling fast across hardware engineering and silicon development. If you're passionate about solving hard technical challenges and shaping the future of compute with light, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact.
About the Role
You’ll join a world-class analog team focused on high-speed transceiver design. Collaborating across architecture, photonics, digital, and system teams, you’ll drive the development of analog/mixed-signal blocks interfacing with photonic elements in advanced node CMOS.
Hiring at multiple levels; compensation is based on experience, education, and location.
Responsibilities
- Support chip architects in feasibility and micro-architecture development
- Define electrical requirements with cross-functional engineering teams
- Design analog/mixed-signal circuits, including transceivers and broadband interfaces
- Document and present design simulations and verification results
- Lead floorplanning and review mask design views
- Run post-layout and top-level mixed-signal simulations
- Develop test plans for production and lab validation
- Own lab validation and performance testing of circuits
Qualifications
- MS with 6+ years of experience OR PhD with 3+ years in analog design
- Expertise in analog front-end blocks like TIAs and Tx drivers
- Experience with Tx/Rx equalization and SERDES architectures
- Strong grasp of CMOS design trade-offs, noise, mismatch, linearity
- Proficiency with Cadence design tools
- Collaborative, hands-on, and execution-driven
Bonus if you have:
- Experience with 3D EM simulation tools
- Familiarity with silicon photonic modulators (MZM, Ring)
- Track record of 1st-silicon success under tight schedules
