Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer

Mountain View, CA / Remote    ·      Full time

Description

We are seeking an Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer to design and develop the analog mixed-signal integrated circuits for the implant component of our brain-computer interface (BCI). In this individual contributor role you will contribute to a well-defined application that has interesting constraints.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to join our core team to help shape the future of our company. Your work will see commercialization quickly so that we improve the lives of patients who live with neurological disorders in a matter of months and years, not decades.

This position may be based in our NYC or the San Francisco Bay Area office, or can be fully remote.

For more detail on our work, see our preprint here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.02…

You will:

• Design and develop the analog, mixed-signal integrated circuits for our implant, adhering to size and power constraints.
• Execute schematic capture, layout, pre- and post- layout simulations, Montecarlo and corner analysis and top-level integration.
• Complete hands-on testing tasks with lab instrumentation such as signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers.
• Perform chip tape-outs, testing and characterization.
• Collaborate with industry leading manufacturing partners on fabrication of some components of our device.
• Participate in detailed, collaborative discussions about the impact of your designs on the overall BCI design. Such discussions are driven by the excellent, substantial feedback loop generated by our rigorous experiment schedule.
• Collaborate with the rest of our team to publish and present our work.
• Communicate project updates on progress, risks, options, barriers and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Create and update end-user technical documentation, product specifications and vendor procedures.

Requirements

• PhD in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), or related field, or equivalent years of experience.
• Expertise using industry standard EDA tools such as Cadence, Mentor, etc.
• Experience designing analog, mixed-signal circuits in 180 nm or smaller processes
• Tape-out experience including successful testing and characterization.
• Comfortable with using a range of lab instruments such as signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, etc.
• Expertise using Cadence tools (preferred)
• Experience with low-power analog design, amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, power management circuits (preferred)
• Experience with biomedical circuits, neural interfaces (preferred)
• Experience with wireless data and/or power (preferred)
