Director, Analog/Mixed-Signal Design
About The Position
Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models. Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures. We are hiring a Director of Analog/Mixed Signal Design to lead the team responsible for the advanced circuits at the heart of our optical I/O products. You will own the analog/mixed-signal design strategy and execution for high-bandwidth optical links, including high-speed transmit and receive signal paths, clocking, data conversion, biasing, and power-management circuits. You will set clear technical direction, maintain a rigorous design methodology, and remove execution barriers, ensuring that the team delivers production-quality silicon on schedule.
Requirements
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering
- 12+ years of industry experience in analog/mixed signal design
- Track record of production tapeouts in advanced FinFET CMOS nodes
- Demonstrated ability to deliver complex analog/mixed-signal IP across multiple concurrent programs.
Nice To Haves
- M.S. or Ph.D in Electrical Engineering
Responsibilities
- Drive architectural decisions for the high-speed optical PHY of our next-generation product: TX path, RX path, clocking, and mixed-signal control loops against a system-level link budget shared with the photonics and laser teams.
- Drive co-design efforts across the EIC/PIC boundary.
- Lead the silicon-success methodology: first-silicon-success expectations, debug discipline, characterization-to-production.
- Mentor AMS design engineers in design reviews and silicon debug.
- Represent the AMS organization in cross-functional architecture reviews, customer technical engagements, and foundry/EDA partner discussions.
- Manage and scale the design team to develop IP intercepting multiple parallel products.
