Join Our Team as an Analog Design Engineer
At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratize AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a crucial barrier to scalable adoption.
Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution significantly reduces power consumption while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.
Kandou’s architecture represents not just an incremental improvement, but a foundational shift in how AI hardware will be built for the future.
Job Title: Analog Design Engineer (Advanced Research and Development Department)
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop block level specifications and models for target designs.
- Model, design, and verify the performance of custom analog circuits in advanced technology nodes.
- Oversee layout design and development, including floor-planning, guiding layout engineers, and post-layout verification.
- Conduct design verification at various levels (pre- and post-layout, variation-aware).
- Support and collaborate with the design team, including design and layout engineers, architects, and chip-level integration engineers.
- Participate in post-silicon lab bring-up, debugging, characterization, and productization.
- Produce comprehensive reports, including progress updates, analyses, design, modeling, and verification documentation.
- Participate in the development of concept-level architectures and circuits.
Skills:
- Deep understanding of design and layout techniques for high-speed and high-precision circuits, bolstered by excellent analytical skills.
- Experience in developing test benches and simulation setups to analyze the performance of target circuits and systems.
- Proficient in layout techniques, including matching, parasitic estimation and reduction, and deep-submicron related issues.
- Advanced user of EDA tools for design and verification, preferably Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice, Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction and modeling, EM and IR drop tools, and ESD analysis.
- Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility.
- Ability to manage workloads, schedules, and report to internal management and technical teams effectively.
- Excellent communication and reporting skills.
Experience:
- 5+ years of experience in the design and layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits, particularly high-speed and high-precision circuits.
- Examples include multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers, RF circuits, equalizers, clock generators, PLLs, clock and data recovery circuits, data converters (ADC or DAC), and biasing and bandgap circuits.
- MSc or PhD in electronics/electrical engineering (equivalent or higher).
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, such as CMOS 28nm, FinFET 16/14nm, and 7nm.
- Background in high-level modeling, top-level simulations, and signal integrity.
- A solid understanding of Signal Processing and Communications.
