About the Role
This permanent, full-time Bangalore role supports hybrid, onsite, or remote work. The engineer will lead precision mixed-signal building blocks for photonics-enabled computing, including data converters, references, bias circuits, drivers, and subsystem integration. The work covers system architecture, transistor-level design, third-party IP integration, verification, and silicon characterization.
Responsibilities
- Define mixed-signal architectures for photonic control and monitoring.
- Design SAR and pipeline ADCs, current-steering and resistor-string DACs, bandgap references, current references, bias networks, and LDO regulators.
- Develop heater drivers, current sources, monitoring circuits, and feedback systems for photonic actuators.
- Integrate external converter, SerDes, PHY, and memory IP and verify subsystem interfaces.
- Build analogue mixed-signal verification environments using Spectre and AMS Designer, with wreal or Verilog-A models.
- Define test strategy and support silicon validation, production-test correlation, and performance analysis.
Required Experience and Skills
- An MEng, MSc, or PhD in electronic engineering, electrical engineering, or a related discipline.
- At least fifteen years of mixed-signal IC-design experience.
- Proven ADC or DAC tape-out experience and expertise in precision references and bias circuits.
- Experience with third-party IP integration, AMS verification, Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and Python or MATLAB.
Preferred Experience
Useful additional experience includes silicon-photonics components, calibration, trimming, temperature compensation, power-management architectures, and noise-isolated mixed-signal floorplans.
