Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads silicon manufacturing and foundry partner relationships from technology selection through qualification, early volume, and sustaining engineering. Promotes design for manufacture, drives yield, quality, cost, and time-to-market improvements, and coordinates cross-functional semiconductor development activities. Reviews foundry offerings, analyzes production data, conducts supplier audits and business reviews, resolves manufacturing risks, and ensures production requirements and documentation are maintained. The role requires semiconductor process and manufacturing expertise, leadership, analytical skills, and supplier/customer communication.

Lead development, testing, maintenance, and debugging of embedded firmware for silicon products. Design real-time C/C++ applications, integrate hardware peripherals, support silicon design infrastructure, migrate debug software, and implement software validation and verification. Collaborate across platforms including Linux and Windows while using modern CI and development workflows. Optimize low-level code for real-time performance and help drive firmware development independently.

Design and verify high-speed digital circuits for serial transceivers, DDR, and memory interfaces. Responsibilities include RTL design, analog-digital interface specification, synthesis, timing analysis, verification, chip integration, protocol analysis, and post-silicon lab bring-up. The engineer will collaborate with analog, verification, physical implementation, and customer teams while supporting requirements, debugging, characterization, and product delivery.

Develop firmware for new hardware and ASICs, including SoC and board bring-up, bootloaders, platform initialization, peripheral integration, and hardware debugging. Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, validation, and application teams to resolve hardware-firmware issues. Use C/C++, Linux, RTOS platforms, PCIe/CXL, OpenBMC, scripting, CI workflows, testing, code reviews, and documentation.

Conduct research on simultaneous bidirectional communication over wideband copper serial links. Develop behavioral models of copper channels and transceiver architectures, investigate analog and digital self-interference cancellation, evaluate channel impairments and non-idealities, and simulate communication building blocks using Python or circuit-level CAD tools. Assess data rates, energy efficiency, and implementation complexity, then present findings in a technical report and oral presentation.

Develop and debug embedded firmware for RTOS and Linux-based systems. Responsibilities include RTOS porting, SoC and board bring-up, bootloader and platform initialization, peripheral integration, hardware-firmware troubleshooting, architecture and coding, validation, code reviews, unit testing, documentation, and CI automation. The role requires C/C++ expertise, CPU and memory architecture knowledge, Linux kernel and driver familiarity, hardware debugging, and collaboration across hardware, validation, and application teams.

Develop Linux software for Kandou’s AI hardware products, including kernel and device drivers, embedded software, hardware bring-up, and hardware/software integration. Work with PCIe, I3C, SPI, JTAG, CXL, NVMe, and AXI architectures across x86 and ARM systems. Define interfaces, contribute to storage, networking, or accelerated-computing systems, and use modern development, CI/CD, quality assurance, and test-automation practices.

Lead digital physical design for semiconductor and chiplet-based AI infrastructure products. Responsibilities include RTL-to-GDS implementation, synthesis, floor planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, STA, power and signal integrity analysis, physical verification, formal equivalence checking, DFT implementation, flow development, IP and chip integration, tapeout, release management, and customer IP delivery.

Leads custom analog layout and verification for high-speed SerDes and memory I/O circuits in advanced semiconductor nodes. Collaborates with design teams on circuit implementation, supports IP and chip-level integration, assists with customer requirements and IP delivery, and applies high-speed layout techniques involving matching, parasitic minimization, power grids, ESD, EM, and IR-drop analysis.

Plan production against customer demand, capacity, inventory, and delivery targets. Maintain master schedules, prepare manufacturing purchase orders, coordinate supply chain partners, track operational metrics, manage WIP reconciliation, support forecasting and Sales and Operations Planning, and identify delivery risks. The role also supports new production introduction, invoice reconciliation, customer order commitments, and recovery planning in a high-volume semiconductor or electronics manufacturing environment.
