Analog Mixed-Signal Chip Lead Engineer

Lightmatter builds chips that enable extreme-scale artificial intelligence computing clusters. If you're a collaborative engineer or scientist who has a passion for innovation, solving challenging technical problems, and doing impactful work like building the world's first optical computers, consider joining the team at Lightmatter!

In this role, you will be a key member of the analog team architecting the world's first photonic computers. This is fundamentally an interdisciplinary team, and outside-the-box thinking is the daily norm. You will need both deep expertise in mixed-signal and analog design and breadth across other engineering disciplines, such as photonics and digital electronics, semiconductor device physics, thermal/packaging, and machine learning. The successful candidate will demonstrate an eagerness to refresh and grow their competency in these areas.

Responsibilities

Support micro-architecture development with chip architects by conducting feasibility studies

Collaborate with members of our design engineering teams (packaging, digital, analog, photonics) to define chip partitions

Responsible for the top-level design including schematic/layout hierarchy and floor planning

Work cross-functionally with analog, digital, and photonics block designers to integrate circuit IPs

Plan for Power Delivery Network (PDN) and support its design implementation

Plan for ESD strategy and support its design implementation

Plan for Test strategy and support its design implementation

Oversee the layout and verify the design to ensure a successful tape-out

Work with Program Managers to meet the deliverable timelines at various stages in the product development

Define production and bench-level test plans

Validate performances of the circuits in the lab

Requirements

MS with 8+ years of relevant experience, OR Ph.D. with 5+ years of experience

Semiconductor industry experience in Analog/Mixed-signal IC design

Deep understanding of analog and mixed signal circuit design including CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs

Experience leading the design of multiple analog/mixed-signal chips and their tape-outs

Experience with mixed-signal mode verification methodologies

Experience with integration flows and their challenges

Familiarity with packaging effects, supply isolations, ESD structures, and high-frequency circuit layout for optimum performance

Experience designing chips with 2.5/3D packaging is a plus

Working knowledge of RTL, PnR, Modeling, and Design verification flows is a plus

Experience with Cadence Design Environment

Experience testing analog circuits in a lab environment

Strong ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas

Benefits

Comprehensive Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)

401k matching

Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)

Generous Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)

Paid Family Leave

Short Term & Long Term Disability

Training & Development

Flexible, hybrid workplace model

Stock Option Plan

We offer competitive compensation. The base salary range for this role, inclusive of all US locations, is $(phone number removed) - $(phone number removed). Your base salary will be determined based on location, experience, educational background, and market data.

Lightmatter recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status as required by applicable law.
