Join Our Team as an Analog Design Engineer
CDI 100% available immediately or to be discussed.
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 represents a foundational shift in how AI hardware is designed for the future.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, model, and verify custom analog designs for high-speed Serdes transceivers in advanced technology nodes.
- Design and verify analog circuits to meet architectural specifications, following established design and documentation flows.
- Collaborate with customers to discuss requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery as needed.
- Support analog IP and chip-level integration.
- Work closely with architects, technical leads, and cross-functional teams including analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality assurance.
Competencies:
- Expertise in designing high-speed analog SerDes circuits, including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a strong foundation in transistor and wireline communications fundamentals.
- Understanding of layout approaches and design techniques for high-speed and high-precision circuits.
- Advanced proficiency in EDA tools for designing and verifying analog circuits, ideally within the Cadence Virtuoso environment, with experience in 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 are necessary for teamwork.
- Ability to manage and deliver designs according to 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 of key circuits in multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers or RF multi-tone communications.
- Proficiency in the design and layout of high-speed circuits, including oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, as well as other fundamental building blocks such as biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs.
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, preferably in finFet technology nodes.
- Familiarity with tools like Ocean, MDL, or equivalents to automate analog design verification is highly desirable.
