You'll provide technical leadership on critical projects, contribute to architectural decisions, and collaborate with cross-functional teams. The ideal candidate thrives working across disciplines rather than within a single one, combining deep technical expertise with broader system understanding to drive innovation and ensure successful product delivery. Experience with or strong willingness to adopt AI-assisted design methodologies is essential. Our team actively uses agentic AI and LLM-driven workflows to accelerate design, verification, and process migration. Candidates not open to this approach are not a fit., * 8+ years of IC design experience spanning analog, digital, or mixed-signal. MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering. * Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines - analog circuit design, digital RTL/synthesis, mixed-signal integration, and system-level architecture. Not a single-domain specialist. * Proven track record of successful IC tape-outs and silicon validation. * Experience delivering designs from concept through layout to production. * Experience with the following types of systems: power management, sensor interfaces, and data converters. * Proficiency in industry EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/ADE, digital synthesis and place-and-route flows. * Strong understanding of CMOS process technology from mature nodes (180nm) through advanced nodes, including electromigration, aging, and technology limitations. * Deep understanding of IC layout considerations, including parasitics, matching, and performance optimization, with the ability to guide layout decisions. * Silicon bring-up and lab debug experience - comfortable on the bench with scopes, analyzers, and evaluation boards. * Strong customer focus and highly motivated to succeed. Candidate must have collaborated across disciplines to ensure products meet customer requirements and timelines. * Experience applying AI/ML tools to IC design workflows - agentic AI, LLM-assisted code generation, automated verification, or AI-driven design exploration (preferred). * Firmware and embedded development experience (C/C++, Python, microcontroller programming) preferred. * SystemVerilog and UVM verification experience preferred. * Experience with multiple foundry process nodes and process migration preferred. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Guiding Agentic AI with Vue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2033-guiding-agentic-ai-with-vue) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/393-the-billion-dollar-machine-first-time-right) - [How to Stop Your Agents From Going Rogue - Arnav Gupta](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2152-how-to-stop-your-agents-from-going-rogue-arnav-gupta) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 166: Sycophancy, Zip bombs and AI Native Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/585-dev-digest-166-sycophancy-zip-bombs-and-ai-native-development) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 150 - The shift to AI generated code, fingerprinting and OKRs vs. doing your job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/533-dev-digest-150-the-shift-to-ai-generated-code-fingerprinting-and-okrs-vs-doing-your-job)
