Job summary

Acceler8 Talent is seeking an Analog / Mixed-Signal IC Designer for a Berkeley, CA-based photonic compute startup. This fully onsite role focuses on front-end circuits interfacing electronic and photonic hardware, including TIAs, DACs/ADCs and drivers.

You will own the design through tape-out, collaborate with photonics teams, and drive characterization and debug of silicon to meet performance targets.

Qualifications

• Strong analog / mixed-signal IC design experience.
• Hands-on ownership of circuits through tape-out and measured silicon.
• Experience with TIAs, data converters, drivers or related front-end blocks.
• Strong circuit fundamentals across noise, bandwidth, linearity and power.
• Comfort working closely with photonics and system-level teams.

Responsibilities

• Own front-end analog/mixed-signal circuits from design to tape-out.
• Design TIAs, drivers, DACs/ADCs and related front-end blocks for photonic compute hardware.
• Collaborate with photonics and system teams to ensure integration with optical circuits.
• Characterize, debug and bring-up silicon post-tape-out.
