About the Company

A venture-backed hardware startup building a new computing paradigm that uses thermal noise in chips for highly power-efficient probabilistic computation, with several chips taped out.

The Role

Our client is hiring a Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer (6+ years) to lead the design of next-generation thermodynamic computing chips. This is a ground-floor chance to own major pieces of chip design, and potentially serve as design lead for one of three planned chips, at a company positioned to reshape AI acceleration and edge computing.

What You Will Do

Lead design of analog and mixed-signal blocks: ADCs, PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, high-speed SerDes, oscillators and dividers.

Own large parts of chip architecture, potentially as design lead for an upcoming chip.

Do hands-on layout and design verification (DRC, ERC, LVS).

Work across IC, systems, physics and algorithms teams to turn probabilistic computing concepts into silicon.

Test and validate fabricated chips in the lab with signal generators, spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes.

What You Bring

6+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design

Block design experience (ADCs, PLLs, SerDes, bandgaps, regulators)

Hands-on layout and verification (DRC, ERC, LVS) in Cadence

CMOS and FinFET process experience

Lab bring-up and validation skills

Ability to work hybrid 3 days a week in Boston

Tech Stack

CMOS, Cadence, FinFET, PLL, ADC, SerDes, Python, C
