Founding Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Acceler8 Talent; Boston, Northern (MA, KY); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Acceler8 Talent partners with an early-stage semiconductor company building 3D hardware platforms, integrating advanced silicon, compound semiconductors, power delivery and new packaging. You will own analog control and power-management silicon at the center of the first products.

This is a hands-on end-to-end IC design role with architectural ownership: define requirements, design analog/mixed-signal circuits, tape-out, and lab validation.

Qualifications

• MS/PhD with hands-on IC design experience and ownership of analog/mixed-signal blocks.
• Experience delivering multiple analog/mixed-signal IC tape-outs across CMOS/BiCMOS/SOI or similar processes.
• Strong proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Monte Carlo analysis, PVT/corner simulation, DRC/LVS, and parasitic extraction.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design analog and mixed-signal circuitry for control, monitoring, and power-management functions.
• Own designs from specification through schematic, simulation, layout sign-off, tape-out, and silicon characterization.
• Develop circuits for bias generation, sequencing, protection, telemetry, sensing, and power control.
• Define electrical interfaces between silicon, compound-semiconductor devices, and advanced packaging.
• Characterize silicon in lab and correlate with simulations.
• Help build reusable design standards and analog IP.
