Job description

HaiLa is building ultra low power radio communications solutions that will eliminate the need for batteries in wireless communication devices by offering a product that is hyper power efficient that can run indefinitely from harvested energy. Our mission is to enable Ambient Power IoT with sensing everywhere on existing protocols such as Wi-Fi.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior level RF and mixed signal design engineer to join our dynamic and diverse team! You will be working directly with the director of engineering to advance our system-level technology roadmap and execute on our technical strategy.

Based in Montreal, HaiLa is supported by leading sustainability-focused venture investors as well as Stanford University.

We are prioritizing candidates who can join us in Canada (Montreal or Ottawa offices), but we are also open to remote work arrangements for exceptional candidates based internationally. HaiLa has experience with immigration processes and can assist candidates who wish to relocate to Canada.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities :

• Develop RF, analog / mixed-signal circuitry concepts.
• Design and verify / debug RF, analog / mixed-signal ICs in bulk CMOS from product definition through to mass production.
• Work closely with the analog design team as well as systems and product definition, digital designers, and 3rd party contractors to implement the complete ASIC solution.
• Resolve performance, area, power, and system cost tradeoffs to optimize system architecture.
• Support IC validation and characterization efforts.

Key requirements :

• Solid understanding of analog / mixed-signal design flows (Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys, etc.) in a Linux environment, specifically Virtuoso schematic and layout, and EMX.
• Excellent problem solving and debugging skills.
• Experience with design and layout of some or all of the following : LNA, PA, Mixer, Op Amp, Filter, VCO, XO, Synthesizer,
• LDO, DAC, ADC, TDC.
• Strong communication (written and verbal), organizational and interpersonal skills.
• Experience with high volume IC manufacturing is a plus.
• Electrical Engineering degree
• 3+ years Analog / RF or Mixed Signal ASIC design experience.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
• Ability and desire to work on different types of circuits.

Nice to have :

• Experience with the evaluation and integration of 3rd party vendor IPs.
• Proficiency with TCL, Perl, or other scripting languages, skill code and pcell creation
• Sub-threshold / very low power CMOS design experience

Why work for HaiLa

• Play a key role in bringing the breakthrough power efficient RF technology to market
• Be part of a solution that aims to remove 100’s of millions of batteries from landfills
• Work with a lean and agile team of the best hardware and software engineers in the industry who are eager to share their expertise
• Gain work experience with an innovative high-tech start-up with a future-proof vision

HaiLa is an equal opportunity employer. We work hard to provide an inclusive work place where everyone feels valued, safe, respected and empowered to grow. If this job description sounds like (or close to) you, we encourage you to apply today!
