Advanced R&D Analog Design Engin - 2 openings - Saint-Sulpice, Switzerland

Kandou’s proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric.

About the role

This role involves the advanced research and development of custom analog circuits in advanced technology nodes for high-speed and high-precision applications. You will contribute to a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that utilizes proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology.

What you'll do

• Develop block-level specifications and models for target designs.
• Develop, model, design, and verify performance of custom analog circuits in advanced technology nodes.
• Design and develop layout, including floor-planning, guiding layout engineers, and post-layout verification.
• Verify designs at different levels, including pre- and post-layout, and variation-aware verification.
• Support post-silicon lab bring-up, debug, characterization, and productization.
• Produce reports for progress, analysis, design, modeling, and verification.

What you'll need

• Deep understanding of design and layout techniques for high-speed and high-precision circuits.
• Experience in developing testbenches and simulation setups to analyze performance of target circuits and systems.
• Skillful in layout techniques, including matching, parasitic estimation and reduction, and deep-submicron related issues.
• Advanced user of EDA tools for design and verification, specifically Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice, Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction and modeling, EM and IR drop tools, and ESD analysis.
• 5+ years of experience in design and layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits, especially high-speed and high-precision circuits.
• MSc or PhD in electronics/electrical engineering (equivalent or higher).
• Experience with modern semiconductor process technologies, such as CMOS 28nm, FinFET 16/14nm, and 7nm.
• Experience in high-level modeling, top-level simulations, and signal integrity.
• Solid background in Signal Processing and Communications.

Skills: custom analog circuits in advanced technology nodes, high-speed and high-precision circuits, multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers, RF circuits, equalizers, clock generators, PLLs, Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice
