High-Speed Optical Transceiver Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Designer

NcodiN; Santa Clara, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

NcodiN is seeking an Analog/Mixed‑Signal IC Design Engineer to join our high‑speed optical transceiver team in Santa Clara. You will help architect, design, and productize cutting‑edge electro‑optical interconnects that power AI systems, coordinating with photonics, systems, packaging, and product engineering groups.

The role emphasizes architecture‑to‑silicon execution in a fast‑moving startup environment, with collaboration across analog, digital, and photonic domains to deliver scalable

Qualifications

• Requires a S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with focus on high‑speed analog/mixed‑signal ICs, RF ICs, or electro‑optical integrated circuits.
• Minimum 5 years of industry experience for MS candidates or 3 years for PhD candidates in analog/mixed‑signal, RF, or electro‑optical IC design.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, Keysight ADS, and Ansys HFSS/Momentum.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with photonics engineers to derive system-level and block-level specifications for electrical ICs supporting high-speed electro-optical links.
• Work with system architects to partition functions between analog, digital, and photonic domains.
• Perform IC floor-planning, layout guidance, and parasitic modeling for high-speed signal paths.
• Model package parasitics and co-optimize electrical/optical performance for co-packaged optics (CPO) or integrated optical engines.
• Evaluate, characterize, and debug electrical and optical building blocks in lab environments using high-speed measurement equipment.
• Support development of automated test setups for device and system-level validations.
• Work with manufacturing and product engineering teams on production test, qualification, and reliability validation of EIC/PIC components.
