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, addressing 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 dramatically 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 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.
- Follow prescribed design and documentation flows to ensure analog circuits meet architecture specifications.
- Interact with customers regarding requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery, as needed.
- Support analog IP and chip-level integration.
- Collaborate with architects, technical leads, analog and digital design teams, layout specialists, and quality assurance personnel as required.
Competencies:
- Proficient in designing high-speed analog SerDes circuits, including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a strong foundation in transistor and wireline communications fundamentals.
- Understanding 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 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, possessing excellent verbal and written communication skills, and a collaborative team spirit.
- Ability to manage and complete designs according to schedules using defined design processes and reporting status to internal teams.
Requirements:
- Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electronics or a relevant 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 high-speed circuit design and layout, including oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs.
- Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, preferably in FinFET technology nodes.
- Familiarity with Ocean, MDL, or equivalent tools for automating analog design verification is highly desirable.
