Analog IC Design Engineer, AMS

About this role

Lightmatter seeks an experienced Analog IC Design Engineer to develop analog and mixed-signal circuits for next-generation photonics-based data center infrastructure. You'll design critical AMS blocks, collaborate across engineering teams, and validate designs from simulation through production testing in a cutting-edge silicon photonics environment.

What you'll do

• Design analog/mixed-signal circuits including data converters, amplifiers, drivers, comparators, and bandgap references
• Conduct feasibility studies to support chip architecture development with architects
• Define electrical requirements collaborating with system, digital, analog, and photonics engineering teams
• Execute block-level floorplanning, mask design, and post-layout mixed-signal simulations for integration validation
• Develop production and bench-level test plans and validate circuit performance in laboratory environments
• Document design simulations and verifications for formal design reviews

What they're looking for

• Analog and mixed-signal circuit design
• CMOS device characteristics and design trade-offs
• Noise, mismatch, and linearity analysis
• Cadence Design Environment
• Post-layout and mixed-signal simulation
• Analog circuit lab testing and measurement
• Silicon photonics interfacing (preferred)
• Cross-functional collaboration

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement savings matching program
• Life insurance and disability coverage
• Generous paid time off and paid family leave
• Equity grants and performance-based annual equity
• Flexible hybrid workplace with training and development
