Analog ASIC Design Engineer

About Vellex Computing

Vellex Computing is a venture-backed startup building a new class of processor. We are moving beyond traditional digital computation to create dedicated analog hardware accelerators that solve the world's most complex optimization problems. Our technology represents a fundamental shift in computing architecture, offering orders-of-magnitude speedups for challenges previously considered intractable.

Founded by leading researchers and industry veterans from Stanford, UC Berkeley, AMD, and Texas Instruments, our team has developed a novel analog computing architecture. We are now expanding our team to design and launch the next generation of our analog compute engine to be proven in silicon.

The Role

As an Analog ASIC Design Engineer at Vellex, you will be at the heart of our product development. You will develop analog and mixed-signal blocks from concept to tape-out. You will be responsible for designing, simulating, and verifying the core circuits that power our hardware accelerator. This is an opportunity to work on a groundbreaking technology from the ground up and make a significant impact.

Your responsibilities will include :

• Designing and implementing high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits, including amplifiers, data converters (ADCs / DACs), comparators, and custom computational blocks in a standard CMOS process
• Creating schematics, running extensive simulations (transient, AC, noise, Monte Carlo) to verify performance across all process corners, voltages, and temperatures (PVT)
• Overseeing the physical layout of your designs to manage parasitics, ensure matching, and meet performance and power targets
• Defining block-level specifications and ensure your designs integrate seamlessly into the top-level system
• Developing and executing a post-silicon validation plan to test and characterize designs in the lab
