Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. IC Resources is partnering with a UK photonic computing company that is establishing its US operations in Silicon Valley. They are seeking a Staff Analog Design Engineer to lead the analog team, focusing on designing precision mixed signal layers and working closely with the Director of Analog and CTO.

Responsibilities

• Designing the precision mixed signal layer that sits between the photonic compute core and the rest of the chip
• ADC and DAC design, references, biasing, LDOs
• Heater drivers and precision current sources for thermal tuning of photonic components
• Modulator drivers
• Full design cycle from architecture through tape-out and silicon validation
• Advanced CMOS node

Skills

• 8-10+ years of mixed-signal IC design experience in advanced CMOS, with at least one tape-out you led from concept through silicon
• Strong on either data converters or photonic-adjacent driver design
• Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre and AMS verification methodology
• MEng, MSc or PhD in electronic engineering or equivalent
• A generalist profile with breadth across multiple analog and mixed-signal blocks rather than depth in a single one
• Silicon photonics adjacency
• Optical SerDes, coherent receivers, modulator or laser driver design
• Background at Lightmatter, Ayar Labs, Celestial AI, Intel silicon photonics, Marvell Inphi, Cisco Acacia, Nvidia optical group, or Broadcom high-speed SerDes
