Job summary

Voyant Photonics is seeking a Principal Mixed-Signal ASIC Engineer to establish and lead our custom IC program. You will own the ASIC strategy, select tools, build a team, and deliver production silicon that enables our photonic product roadmap.

You will work at the intersection of analog design, photonics, and high-volume manufacturing, with hands-on work now and a clear path to technical leadership as we scale.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in analog and mixed-signal IC design.
• Proven track record leading multiple tapeouts from concept to production silicon.
• Deep expertise in low-noise analog circuit design, particularly TIAs or similar front-end circuits.

Responsibilities

• Drive analog tapeouts from concept to production across technology nodes (130 nm and below, including BCD).
• Design ultra-low-noise transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) achieving low pA/√Hz noise performance.
• Develop mixed-signal circuits including amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, and power management blocks for photonic ICs.
• Establish the ASIC development environment: select EDA tools, define design flows, set verification/validation standards.
• Collaborate with photonics designers, systems engineers, and FPGA/digital teams for seamless co-design.
• Provide HDL and architectural input to external digital design partner and guide requirements.
• Hire and mentor a small team of analog and digital IC designers.
