The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in high-speed analog circuit design—spanning wireline transceivers, RFIC front-ends, and precision data converters—and has a track record of delivering silicon in advanced FinFET or SOI processes. This is a high-impact individual contributor or technical lead role focused on next-generation silicon for data communications, wireless, and compute applications. ## Key Responsibilities - Design and verify high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, clock distribution, laser/modulator drivers, and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). - Architect and implement wireline SerDes front-ends, optical interconnect ICs, and multi-GHz analog signal chains from concept through tape-out. - Develop transistor-level schematics and layouts in advanced FinFET (7–16 nm) or SOI technologies; collaborate with layout engineers to meet stringent PPA targets. - Drive pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up; analyze measured silicon data and iterate on design to close specification gaps. - Partner with digital, CAD, and systems teams to define mixed-signal partitioning, interface specs, and shared design methodologies. - Produce detailed design documentation and present technical progress to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership. - Mentor junior designers and contribute to best-practice development across the organization. Required Qualifications Education & Experience - Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or related) with 6+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience, OR - MS. in Electrical Engineering (or related) with 8+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience. Core Technical Skills - Analog / high-speed circuit design: wideband amplifiers, comparators, bias networks, ESD-tolerant I/Os. - Laser/modulator drivers and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) for optical interconnect applications. - High-speed ADC and DAC design (pipeline, SAR, flash, current-steering); including low-speed (LS) converters for control and calibration planes. - Clocking systems: DLLs, resonant/CMOS clock distribution, fractional-N synthesis, jitter budgeting, oscillators (LC/Ring). - Hands-on design in advanced FinFET nodes (TSMC / Samsung 5–16 nm) and/or Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) processes. ## Preferred Qualifications - RFIC design experience: LNA, mixer, PA driver, Broadband amplifiers, RF front-end modules. - Familiarity with high-speed wireline PHY architectures (56G / 112G PAM-4 SerDes, NRZ). - Background in optical module ICs (TOSA/ROSA driver ASICs, coherent DSP interfaces). - Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre / APS / Ultrasim, and industry-standard layout tools. - Proficient in designing RF passives like transmission lines, inductors, Tcoils, etc using EM tools like EMX, Peakview, etc. - Lab characterization skills: oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, BERT setups. - Publications or patents in analog/mixed-signal IC design are a plus. ## About Phizenix ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Phizenix provides workforce solutions for the AI era, including top tech talent placement, AI strategy & development, and AI workforce training. - **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed / Bootstrapped – no public funding rounds disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Livermore, California, United States - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Khursheed Irani ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: IT Services and IT Consulting, AI Consulting, Workforce Staffing - **Target customers**: B2B – businesses seeking AI transformation, technical talent, and AI upskilling (mid-market to enterprise) - **Mission or purpose statement**: “We’re a team of tech founders, operators, and builders on a mission to help businesses thrive in an AI-native world.
