About the role
You make the physical signals beneath digital computing stable and trustworthy, evaluating or designing the analog and power circuits the product actually justifies. Every digital correctness argument rests on analog behaviour holding up, and this is the layer where that is either solid or quietly not. The failures here are the ones that appear months later, in one customer's house, at a temperature nobody tested.
The work
Work on power regulation, clocking, sensing or interface circuitry within a clearly scoped silicon program. Coordinate noise, variation, layout and validation with digital and board teams. Prefer validated supplier IP when it meets the required performance and assurance.
What good looks like
In your first 90 days after program activation, deliver a circuit or IP feasibility assessment with simulation corners and a measurement plan.
Evidence we look for
Bring strong circuit fundamentals and experience in analog, mixed-signal or power semiconductor design. Show measured silicon behavior or a rigorous design and validation record.
What we need to see
- Strong circuit fundamentals with analog, mixed-signal, or power semiconductor design experience
- Measured silicon behaviour you can show, or a rigorous design and validation record
- You design for the corners rather than for the nominal case
- Lab discipline and instrument fluency, with results somebody else could repeat
Nice to have
- Power delivery for high-current digital loads
- High-speed SerDes
- You have debugged a problem that only appeared in the field
The exercise
Analyze how power-supply noise could affect a compute subsystem and distinguish board-level remedies from circuit-level changes.
Where and how we work
In the office together five days a week, in any of these cities. Remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time.
