Senior / Staff Analog Design Engineer

The Role

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Senior/Staff Analog Engineers with expertise in CMOS analog design to lead the design, validation, and implementation of high-performance analog circuits for our next-generation OTPUs. This role demands deep knowledge of CMOS analog circuit design, simulation, and testing. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering and semiconductor physics and a passion for developing reliable, high-performance analog circuits that drive breakthrough AI hardware.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop advanced CMOS analog integrated circuits, including schematic creation, simulation, layout, and testing to meet the performance targets of our OTPU systems.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including optical hardware engineers, to ensure seamless integration of analog circuit blocks within the system architecture.

• Analyse analog circuit performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement innovative solutions to optimise power, noise performance, speed, and reliability.

• Mentor junior engineers, conduct design reviews, and promote best practices in CMOS analog circuit design and testing.

• Stay current with industry trends and advancements in CMOS analog design methodologies and semiconductor technologies to continuously improve design practices and tooling.

Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of industry experience in CMOS integrated circuit design, focusing on analog circuit development.

• Expertise in analog circuit simulation, schematic capture, layout design, and testing using industry-standard EDA tools.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; an advanced degree is a plus.

• Strong problem-solving abilities with a keen eye for performance optimisation and noise reduction in analog circuits.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills for effective teamwork across multidisciplinary groups.

• Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

• A track record of personal projects and continuous learning that sets you apart in the field.

Compensation & Benefits

• $194,000 – $270,000, depending on experience, skills, and location.

• Live within 45 minutes of the office? Perfect. Live within 20 minutes? We’ll add an extra location bonus to your salary.

• We offer financial and operational relocation support (US and abroad), through a dedicated third-party provider who is on hand to make your move as seamless as possible.

• We offer visa sponsorship so if we make you an offer we will make every reasonable effort to secure you a visa, but we may not be able to sponsor visas for every role and candidate.

• We’re in the process of setting up a US group policy once we have 5+ employees. In the meantime, we’re providing a health insurance stipend of $800/month to offset costs. Once the group policy is live, Olix will cover 100% of the employee premium, and offer options like dental, vision and life insurance with an aim to remain competitive among Austin tech and start up employers.

• We offer US employees access to a 401(k) retirement savings plan and we plan to introduce an employer match in line with tech market norms (commonly in the 4-5% range). Our goal is to keep our retirement benefits competitive while we scale.

• Top of the line, high-spec tech for everyone.

• Sony noise-cancelling headphones and ergonomic setups to keep you comfortable and focused.

• Personal company card to spend on tools that help you do your job - like ChatGPT Pro or anything else that boosts your workflow.

• Periodic travel to London HQ and regular team socials.

• 33 days of paid time off (PTO), including US federal holidays.

Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at Olix depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.

Please note: we receive many applications, and this role is not at the top of our priority list. We anticipate reviewing all submissions within 3 weeks, and will contact you if you are shortlisted.

We do not accept unsolicited CVs from recruitment agencies, will not be liable for any fees, and prohibit unauthorised use of our company name in recruitment activities.
