Senior Mixed-Signal Architect: High-Speed Data Converters

K2Spacecorporation; United States; On-site; USD 190,000 - 285,000; Full time

Job summary

K2 Space is seeking a Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, Data Converters, to lead architecture and development of wideband ADCs/DACs for advanced mixed-signal SoCs. This hands-on leadership role carries ownership from architecture to silicon validation.

You will mentor analog and mixed-signal engineers and collaborate with systems, RF, digital, and packaging teams to deliver scalable converter platforms in FinFET CMOS tech.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with significant analog/mixed-signal IC experience.
• Deep expertise in GHz-class ADCs and DACs.
• Strong knowledge of converter architectures such as SAR, pipeline, time-interleaved, and hybrid architectures.
• Experience translating system requirements into converter architectures and circuit-level specs.
• Experience with wideband analog/RF paths, clocking and calibration.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design high-speed, wideband ADCs and DACs targeting RF and mixed-signal applications.
• Lead converter architecture trade studies balancing bandwidth, sampling rate, ENOB, linearity, power, area, and risk.
• Design wideband analog front-ends, including input networks, track-and-hold, references, clocking, and calibration circuitry.
• Develop silicon-grade circuits in FinFET CMOS technologies and drive layout, verification, and characterization.
• Provide mentorship to analog and mixed-signal engineers and define integration interfaces with systems, RF, digital, and packaging teams.
