Hardware Engineer, Analog

The Role

As an Analog Hardware Engineer, you will build the core mixed-signal technology powering our unconventional computing architecture.

You will design unique analog circuits, creating library cells as well as macros, to support a unique computational architecture. Working alongside silicon architecture, digital, and layout teams, you will own the end-to-end analog development from clean-sheet circuit design through parasitic extraction and silicon bring-up to unlock unprecedented throughput-per-watt.

What You Will Own

• Analog design flow methodology: lead the full analog development cycle including research, exploratory design
• Develop or acquire analog IP for use in Normal Silicon
• Acquire or help direct analog EDA tool development
• Evaluation of memory designs, including SRAM, DRAM, and CIM architectures

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Developed analog IP from spec to GDSII in modern technologies, taped out and brought up.
• Worked on memory technologies (i.e. SRAM, DRAM) on core level (bitcell arrays and peripheral circuits)
• Designed and characterized custom bitcells in schematic and layout
• Fluent in the Cadence flow: Virtuoso, Spectre, Assembler, Extraction, Layout, HSMC, Characterization
• Deep understanding of noise and variation and their impacts on silicon performance and reliability

Bonus Points

• Lead, taped out, brought up CIM chips
• Experienced and comfortable in a chip measurement environment for debug and characterization
• Have used AI and/or scripting languages (i.e. Python, Perl) to automate design flows and data post-processing
