Job description

We’re working with an early-stage semiconductor company developing a multi-material 3D integration platform. The approach combines materials such as GaN, silicon, glass and diamond to address circuit, packaging and thermal requirements together.

The initial focus is RF systems for radar and low-Earth-orbit communications, with a longer-term platform spanning power electronics, compute and photonics.

They’re hiring an Analog & Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer to own foundational circuit development and help shape the engineering practices of a founding-stage team.

The role

• Own analog and mixed-signal circuits from architecture and circuit design through verification, layout collaboration and tape‑out.
• Take responsibility for silicon bring‑up, characterization and debug, connecting measured performance with design decisions.
• Work across circuit, package and system boundaries to resolve integration trade‑offs.
• Partner with RF, power, packaging and systems engineers on a heterogeneous semiconductor platform.
• Help establish design reviews, verification methods and engineering practices as the team grows.

Your experience

• Delivered analog or mixed‑signal silicon, with clear personal ownership of the circuits and their development.
• Strong circuit‑design fundamentals and the ability to explain your architecture choices, trade‑offs and measured results.
• Practical experience taking designs through tape‑out and learning from fabricated hardware.
• An ability to work beyond a narrowly defined block and understand how packaging and system requirements affect circuit performance.
• Comfort with hands‑on work, changing priorities and broad responsibility in an early‑stage team.
• Curiosity about heterogeneous integration and how different materials can improve system performance.

You’ll join at the point where early engineers can shape both the product and the organization. The work offers broad ownership, direct collaboration with the founding team and a close connection between circuit decisions, physical integration and measured hardware.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to help build a semiconductor platform and take responsibility for making it work.
