Senior Analog IC Design Engineer (Hybrid)

Your role and responsibilities:

We are looking for an experienced and driven ASIC Engineer to join our hardware team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge photonic quantum computing systems. If you thrive on tackling complex challenges at the intersection of high-speed analog high voltage and advanced semiconductor technologies we want to hear from you!

This isnt your typical analog design job. We are building state-of-the-art photonic quantum computers and this role is critical to controlling and reading out our core hardware. As our Senior Analog IC Design Engineer you will own the entire lifecycle of custom ASICs built to operate in truly demanding environments. You will be solving unique challenges at the intersection of high-speed (<10ns) and high-voltage (up to 100V) design. Critical blocks in the circuits you design will include transimpedance amplifiers and high-voltage amplifiers and drivers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Simulation: Own the specification schematic capture and simulation of novel high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits to meet stringent design targets.
• Tape-Out & Production: Drive the entire design flow from specification through layout verification and preparing designs for production (tapeout).
• Testing & Characterization: Plan execute and analyze results from the lab to test and characterize realized designs against specifications.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with our photonics packaging and systems teams to co-design and solve system-level integration challenges.

Basic qualifications and experience:

• Experience: 5 years of professional experience in analog or mixed-signal ASIC/IC design.
• Full-Cycle Expertise: A proven track record of taking complex designs from initial concept to tested silicon in a lab environment.
• Technical Mastery: Deep experience designing challenging analog circuits specifically with high-speed (e.g. <10ns) OR high-voltage (e.g. 50V-100V) constraints. (Expertise in both is a major plus).
• Process Versatility: Professional design experience across multiple semiconductor process nodes (e.g. CMOS BiCMOS BCD SOI GaN).
• Tool Proficiency: Fluency with industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence environment is strongly preferred).
• Education: A Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Communication: A strong desire to deliver high quality technical documentation across different formats

Preferred qualifications and experience:

• Photonics Experience: Familiarity with photodetectors optical modulators or their interface electronics.
• Advanced Processes: Experience with RF Analog High Voltage SOI or GaN
• Advanced Education: A Ph.D. focused on a relevant IC design topic.
• DACs: Demonstrated experience designing and verifying various DAC architectures
