Analog & Mixed Signal IC Designer
Epirus designs and builds cutting-edge, high-powered microwave (HPM) systems that have the ability to transform industries. With a successful foothold in the defense industry, where we invented directed energy weapon systems that surpass current capabilities, we’re creating new possibilities for intelligently-driven power products in commercial markets.
Job objective: The ideal candidate for the position is someone who has experience with analog mixed signal integrated circuit design, layout, and packaging. In this role, you will work closely with a talented engineering team to perform analog and RF front end designs for state of art, game changing integrated circuit projects. You will also perform schematic capture, simulation, and layout of the analog/mixed signal design. Initial analog circuits are dc to dc converters, analog to digital converter IP core integration, digital to analog IP core integration, operational amplifier design, resistor, inductor, capacitor (RLC) networks, integration of i/O technologies (impedance matching for ethernet IP core, lvds lines etc).
Duties:
- Design and layout of Analog to digital & Digital to analog converters– understands the trade-offs between different architectures for power, speed, resolution, and process technology node fit
- Experience in high bandwidth operational amplifier designs
- Experience in diverse semiconductor processes such as SiGe, CMOS, FinFet, SOI and III/V
- Develop test plans with the ability to perform or guide junior engineers and technicians to accomplish complete design characterization
- Provide technical management of suppliers and leads process improvements
- Develop and maintains relationships and partnerships with customers, stakeholders, and peers
- Develop and motivate junior employees
Required Qualifications:
- BS degree in STEM related fields
- 8+ years of experience
- Experience with Cadence or similar IC design tool sets
- US Citizen (future security clearance may be required)
Desired Qualifications:
- Aerospace/Defense experience and/or military experience
- Advanced process node experience a plus
- Good written and oral communication skills
- Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
- Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
Epirus was the magical bow with infinite arrows wielded by the Greek hero Theseus. Like our namesake, we strive to be fast, efficient, and limitless in our approach. This agility, combined with a culture of innovation in systems development, allows us to move quickly without losing the decades of lessons learned.
We have developed technologies that leverage new breakthroughs in sensors and high-power microwaves, combined with computer vision and advanced software control. Our first broad-market application is a comprehensive defense system to defeat offensive drones at scale.
