ASIC Design Engineer

Epia Neuro•Alameda, CA

3h•$100,000 - $140,000•Onsite

About The Position

Epia Neuro is a neural technology company developing intent-driven systems designed to restore function and independence for people living with neurological conditions. Its platform integrates implantable neural interfaces, adaptive algorithms, and assistive devices to translate neural intent into real-world action. The company’s initial focus is stroke-related motor impairment, with expansion in cognitive decline and other neurological disorders, focusing on long-term solutions for the growing aging population. We’re looking for an ASIC Design Engineer who wants to be involved in all aspects of design cycle: documentation, design, pre-silicon verification, and post-silicon validation. The team is small in a startup environment, so the role is dynamic and all efforts will have visible impact. You'll work alongside senior engineers across all disciplines of ASIC design and have ownership from day one. Ideal candidate is inquisitive and a creative problem solver, who likes to tinker with whatever resources available.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, plus relevant industry experience in ASIC design — or a Master's/PhD with hands-on ASIC design experience through university lab or project work
Strong written and verbal communication skills — you'll need to document your work clearly and communicate project status, good or bad
Comfortable working independently in a Linux/Linux-like environment, working with open-source projects
Experience with Analog circuit design
Experience with Digital (RTL) design
Experience with Programming
Experience with Testing/debugging designs or systems

Nice To Haves

High-precision, low-noise, low-power circuit design (e.g., bandgap reference, high-speed IO, PLL, ADC)
Design/work with industry-standard interfaces, such as SPI and I2C
Test automation
Experience with the Cadence tool suite
Design or research related to medical devices (e.g., neuroscience, biomedical instrumentation)
A track record of tinkering — work-related and/or personal projects (e.g., Raspberry Pi builds) to solve everyday problems
Managing design tools or vendor-supplied libraries (e.g., PDKs) in the university lab or industry setting
