Join Our 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 significantly reduces power consumption 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
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, model, and verify 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.
- Support and interact with customers on requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery when necessary.
- Assist with analog IP and chip level integration.
- Collaborate with architects, technical leads, analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality teams as needed.
Competencies:
- Skilled in designing high-speed analog Serdes circuits, including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a deep understanding of transistor and wireline communications fundamentals.
- Familiarity with layout approaches and design techniques used 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 their use for 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, possessing good verbal and written communication skills, and excelling as a team player.
- Able to manage and complete designs according to schedule using defined design process flows, while reporting design status to the internal management team.
Requirements:
- Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electronics or a relevant field.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in analog design and layout of 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, serialisers, output drivers, etc.
- Expertise in the design and layout of high-speed circuits such as oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other fundamental building blocks like biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, DACs, etc.
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, preferably in finFET technology nodes.
- Experience using Ocean, MDL, or equivalent to automate analog design verification is highly desirable.
