Analog Layout Engineer (Lead)

At Kandou , we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption. Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient . Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.   Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.   Job title: Analog Layout Engineer (Lead) Location: EU/CH/UK   Responsibility • Position in custom layout and verification of analog circuits, cells, blocks, and IP for multi-Gigabit high speed chip to chip communication links (SerDes up to and beyond 28Gb/s and/or memory IO) in advanced semiconductor technology nodes • Layout and verification of very high-speed analog circuits • Interact closely with the design team to understand requirements and implement solutions • Support IP and chip level integration • Support and interact with customers on requirements, and IP delivery • Exposure to flip-chip package technologies Experience • 10-15 years of relevant experience. • Must have experience in custom analog layout of circuits and blocks for multi-Gigabit serial data-link transceivers or HF/RF circuits • Must have expertise in layout of high-speed /frequency circuits like amplifiers, oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other fundamental building blocks like biasing, buffers, regulators, filters, data converters, etc. • Understanding of layout approaches and techniques for high-speed circuits, matching constraints, minimization of parasitics, power grids and ESD requirements • Experience on modern semiconductor process technologies including 28nm, 14/16nm, 7nm • User of EDA tool for design and verification like Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/HSpice, Calibre/PVS DRC/LVS, parasitics extraction and modelling, EM, and IR drop, ESD, etc.   Skills • Self-motivated, with strong sense of ownership and responsibility.
