Advanced R&D SerDes Architecture and Modeling Engineer / Advanced R&D SerDes Architecture and Modeling Engineeress

Join Our Innovative Team at Kandou

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: AR&D SerDes Architecture and Modeling Engineer

Location: Lausanne, Switzerland

Responsibilities

• Implement, document, and maintain software for system-level modeling of serial communication links in MATLAB, Python, and C++.
• Work closely with system architects to budget the link and define block-level specifications of the transceiver.
• Collaborate with analog, digital, and verification teams to support the design and verification process.

Skills

• Good knowledge of control theory and digital algorithms.
• Demonstrated skills in implementing signal-processing algorithms.
• Understanding of the building blocks of a digital communication link and factors impacting link performance (familiarity with SerDes link components and clock recovery circuits is a plus).
• Proficient in at least one of the following programming languages: C++, MATLAB, or Python/NumPy.
• Familiar with the git version control system and the fundamentals of software engineering (unit testing, profiling, etc.).
• Familiar with analog circuit simulators (SPICE/SPECTRE).
• Understanding of the principles of signal integrity.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.

Preferred Experience

• 5+ years of experience in the semiconductor, telecommunications, or mathematical/scientific software industry.
• Experience with system-level simulation of digital communication systems (experience with SerDes links is a plus).
• Experience working with geographically dispersed teams.

Education

Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Communication Systems, or Computer Science (equivalent or higher) with a strong background in Signal Processing and a good understanding of Circuit Theory.
