Join Kandou as an Analog Design Engineer
Kandou is at the forefront of redefining AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratize AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems—an essential step toward 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 greatly reduces power consumption while maintaining 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 is developed for the future.
Job Title: Analog Design Engineer
Key Responsibilities:
- Engage in the design, modeling, and verification of custom analog designs for high-speed Serdes transceivers in advanced technology nodes.
- Design and verify analog circuits, adhering to prescribed design and documentation flows to meet architecture specifications.
- Collaborate with customers as needed on requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery.
- Support analog IP and chip-level integration efforts.
- Work alongside architects, technical leads, and teams in analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality assurance.
Competencies:
- Proficient in designing high-speed analog SerDes circuits, including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a solid grasp 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 analog circuit design and verification, preferably in the Cadence Virtuoso environment.
- Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility; excellent verbal and written communication skills; and a team player.
- Able to manage and complete designs on schedule using defined design processes, as well as 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 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, biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs.
- Familiarity with modern semiconductor process technologies, preferably in finFET technology nodes.
- Experience using Ocean, MDL, or equivalent for automating analog design verification is highly desirable.
