Senior High-Speed Custom Logic Design Engineer
We’re working with a pioneering UK deep-tech company building programmable silicon photonic compute, performing operations directly within the data path to support AI, cybersecurity and scientific workloads.
You will own the timing-critical custom logic at the heart of a high-speed, compute-enabled PHY that links photonic, analogue and digital subsystems.
What we’re after:
- Custom digital or high-speed mixed-signal IC design, with multiple tapeouts
- Strong transistor-level CMOS: datapaths, clocking, timing and SI trade-offs
- Hands-on Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre (or similar)
- Taking logic from spec through layout sign-off to silicon debug
- Advanced nodes (7nm/12nm, FinFET) a real plus
- Python, Tcl or SKILL automation a bonus
What’s in it for you?
Generous time off
This isn’t block-level work on someone else’s architecture. You’ll define the microarchitecture, design SerDes datapaths, flip-flops and memory banks, and guide layout through to tapeout and first-silicon bring-up.
You’ll work closely with the Director of Photonics and a small, sharp team of analogue, photonic and physical design engineers, making trade-offs that directly shape a genuinely new kind of compute.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, get in touch for a confidential chat.
