At Kandou, we thrive on challenges and embrace innovation. As a dynamic player in the semiconductor industry, we are committed to developing high-speed and energy-efficient chip-to-chip link solutions that are essential for the future of electronics. We are seeking passionate professionals who want to make an impact and push the boundaries of technology. If you are ready to join a high-tech scale-up, we have an exciting opportunity for you in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Key Responsibilities
- Participate in the design, modeling, and verification of custom analog designs for high-speed SerDes transceivers in advanced technology nodes.
- Design and verify analog circuits according to prescribed design and documentation flows to meet architectural specifications.
- Interact with customers, as necessary, to discuss requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery.
- Support analog IP and chip-level integration.
- Collaborate with architects, technical leads, as well as analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality teams as needed.
Competencies
- Proficient in the design of high-speed analog SerDes circuits, including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a solid understanding of transistor and wireline communications fundamentals.
- Knowledgeable in layout approaches and design techniques for high-speed and high-precision circuits.
- Advanced user of EDA tools for the design and verification of analog circuits, preferably within the Cadence Virtuoso environment, including simulation, parasitic extraction, electromagnetic modeling, EM/IR, and reliability analysis, as well as LVS and DRC.
- Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and a collaborative team player.
- Able to manage and complete designs on schedule using defined design process flows and report design status to the internal management team.
Requirements
- A Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electronics or a related field.
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in analog design and layout for key circuits in multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers or RF multi-tone communications, including equalizers, clock generators, clock and data recovery circuits, TISAR ADCs, serializers, and output drivers.
- Expertise in the design and layout of high-speed circuits such as oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other essential building blocks like biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs.
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, preferably in FinFET technology nodes.
- Desirable experience using Ocean, MDL, or equivalent to automate analog design verification.
