Join Our Team 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 represents not just an incremental improvement — it is a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.
Position: Analog Design Engineer
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, model, and verify custom analog designs for high-speed Serdes transceivers in advanced technology nodes.
- Follow prescribed design and documentation flows to ensure analog circuits meet architecture specifications.
- Support and interact with customers regarding requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery.
- Assist with analog IP and chip-level integration.
- Collaborate with various teams including architects, technical leads, analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality assurance as needed.
Competencies:
- Proficient in the design of high-speed analog Serdes circuits, inclusive of DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a strong understanding of transistor and wireline communications fundamentals.
- Familiarity with layout techniques and design approaches for high-speed and high-precision circuits.
- Advanced user of EDA tools for design and verification of analog circuits, preferably using the Cadence Virtuoso environment, including simulation, parasitic extraction, electromagnetic modeling, EM/IR, 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 spirit.
- Capable of managing and completing designs to schedule using defined design process flows while effectively reporting design status to the internal management team.
Requirements:
- Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electronics or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in analog design and layout of key circuits in multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers or RF multi-tone communications.
- Expertise in designing and laying out high-speed circuits such as oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other fundamental building blocks including biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs.
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, especially finFET technology nodes.
- Familiarity with Ocean, MDL, or equivalent tools for automating analog design verification is highly desirable.
