Advanced R&D Analog Design Engineer / Advanced R&D Analog Design Engineeress

Join Kandou 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 critical 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 reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.

Job Title: Analog Design Engineer

Department: Advanced Research and Development

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop block level specifications and models for target designs.
• Design, model, and verify performance of custom analog circuits in advanced technology nodes.
• Oversee layout design and development, including floor-planning and guiding layout engineers.
• Conduct design verification at different levels (pre- and post-layout, variation-aware).
• Collaborate with the design team, including other design and layout engineers, architects, and chip-level integration engineers.
• Support post-silicon lab bring-up, debug, characterization, and productization.
• Produce various reports, including progress reports, analysis, design, modeling, and verification reports.
• Participate in developing concept-level architectures and circuits.

Skills:

• Deep understanding of design and layout techniques for high-speed and high-precision circuits.
• Proficient in developing testbenches and simulation setups for performance analysis of target circuits and systems.
• Expertise in layout techniques, such as 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, and more.
• Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility.
• Ability to manage workload and schedules effectively.
• Excellent communication and reporting skills.

Experience:

• 5+ years experience in design and layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits, particularly multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers, RF circuits, and data converters.
• MSc or PhD in electronics/electrical engineering (equivalent or higher).
• Familiarity with modern semiconductor process technologies, such as CMOS 28nm, and FinFET 16/14nm, 7nm.
• Experience in high-level modeling, top-level simulations, and signal integrity.
• Strong background in Signal Processing and Communications.
