Your Role

Irréversible is looking for an Integrated Circuit Designer to join its team. In this role, you will work with other engineers and scientists to design, adapt, and test core electronic components for cutting-edge low-power AI processors to enable next-generation edge AI applications.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with team members from diverse backgrounds in physics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering
• Design and develop integrated circuit blocks from concept to layout for low power AI processors
• Work with cross-functional teams to define specifications and architecture
• Perform circuit simulations, validation and optimization
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of software models
• Conduct design reviews, verification, and documentation throughout the development lifecycle
• Assist in silicon testing, debugging, and post-silicon validation
• Contribute to crafting reports, drafting patents, preparing technical documentation, and attending conferences

What You'll Bring

• A Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering Physics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Experience in analog / mixed-signal IC Design
• Demonstrated expertise in transistor-level CMOS circuit design and simulation
• Proficiency with IC EDA tools (e.g. Cadence, Synopsys, or equivalent)
• Understanding of IC layout constraints and requirements (matching, proximity effects, parasitics, etc.)
• Familiarity with IC fabrication processes
• Knowledge of Verilog-A/SPICE modeling
• Analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Communication and technical documentation skills

The following experience is considered a plus:

• Experience in electrical device and circuit characterization, and/or CMOS chips characterization, and/or device-level parameters analysis
• Experience in operating test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, source-measure units, and/or parameter analyzers
• Experience in developing and running scripts for data acquisition and analysis using Python or an equivalent programming language
• Knowledge of statistical methods for data analysis and presentation
