About GEMESYS

We are a deep-tech startup that is set up to build a legacy. Our mission is to design a chip that works like the human brain to overcome computing bottlenecks and provide AI with the hardware to fulfill its destiny: Shaping a better future for everyone.

Based out of Bochum, Germany, we are setting out to challenge the status quo.

We are a group of pioneering minds who love blank canvases. We work within an agile startup environment where you can be hands-on and contribute to the success of next-generation AI hardware.

We execute and work at a high pace. We fail fast and learn faster. Sounds like you? Come join us!

Tasks

• We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced (Senior) Analog-/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer to join our cutting-edge hardware development team. The role involves contributing to the full IC design stack - from concept to successful silicon implementation, including top-level integration, post-layout verification and final design sign-off. Experience with PCB design, system integration and chip-testing is a strong plus.
  Design, simulate, and validate analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, including opamps, low-power and low-leakage circuits, logic and memory blocks.
• Lead and participate in all stages of the IC design process, including:

1. Schematic design and simulation
2. Layout and parasitic extraction
3. Design and performance verification (post-layout simulations)
4. Top-level integration and sign-off

• Drive the circuit design with an emphasis on low-power performance, low-leakage and noise robustness.
• Ensure proper physical design implementation.
• Assist with board-level design, integration, and testing.
• Debug silicon prototypes in the lab, working on performance optimization and issue resolution.
• Work closely with other teams to ensure that designs meet the system-level requirements.
• Support the preparation of detailed technical documentation for design, testing, and verification processes.

Requirements

• You are an innovative Analog Design Engineer with a deep understanding in advanced analog design theory, and a strong background in analog/mixed-signal circuit design, built around low-power, and low-leakage circuits.

  Essential:
  Master’s (or PhD) degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with a focus on integrated circuit design (analog-/mixed-signal).

• 5+ years of experience in analog-/mixed-signal IC design.

• Proven track record with 3+ successful tape-outs involving complex IC design flows (65nm or below is a plus).

• Strong expertise in designing opamps, low-power and low-leakage circuits.

• Experience with industry-standard design tools (preferably Cadence Virtuoso).

• Proficiency in parasitic extraction, post-layout simulation, and verification methodologies (MC, corner).

• Understanding of device physics and fabrication processes to optimize design performance.

• Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

• Demonstrated ability to solve complex engineering problems and contribute to innovative solutions.

  Preferred:

• Familiarity with advanced CMOS process nodes (e.g., 65nm and below).

• Experience with PCB design (e.g., Altium Designer) and debugging of analog-/mixed-signal circuits.

• Experience with data converters (ADCs/DACs), filters, logic and memory blocks as well as other mixed-signal blocks and methods.

• Experience in AI research and development.

Benefits

We offer daily challenges and organic growth opportunities as the company scales.
30 vacation days, flexible hours, corporate benefits, and hybrid solutions are a given. Healthy snacks and free drinks are part of the perks in our creative, modern, and centrally located HQ.

You will be leading the charge in cutting-edge technology, shaping the future of integrated circuit development with innovation and precision. You will be collaborating with excellent specialists to develop the foundational technology for new AI hardware solutions in various industries such as healthcare, space, energy, and robotics.
