Company

hirify.global develops semiconductor solutions for enterprise, cloud, AI, carrier, data center, and telecommunications infrastructure.

What you will do

• Design and validate multi-tens-of-GHz transimpedance amplifiers for coherent long-haul, metro, and PAM4 data center systems.
• Develop high-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers using SiGe BiCMOS and FinFET CMOS technologies.
• Design transmission-line and other millimeter-wave structures to improve circuit performance.
• Develop analog circuits including linear regulators, automatic gain-control loops, current and voltage sensors, and bandgaps.
• Measure IC performance, debug designs, and correlate simulation results with laboratory measurements.
• Collaborate on post-silicon validation, qualification, mass production transition, and customer support.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience, or a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience designing high-performance RF/analog receivers or transimpedance amplifiers, including chip tape-out and laboratory evaluation.
• Experience using EDA CAD tools and performing analog custom layout.
• Strong knowledge of transistor-level design, device physics, and control or feedback-loop stability analysis.
• Experience with IC performance measurement, design debugging, package-system integration, and different semiconductor technologies.
• Must be eligible to access export-controlled technology or software under applicable U.S. export control regulations; an export license review may be required.

Nice to have

• Experience with automatic gain-control loops, precision analog circuits, continuous-time linear equalizers, DACs, or ADCs.
• Experience mentoring junior circuit designers or serving as a chip lead.
• Experience taking chips through successful silicon validation and mass production.
• Ability to translate chip-level specifications into architecture.

Culture & Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Collaborative, transparent, and inclusive work environment.
• Resources and support for professional growth and development.
• Interviews are intended to assess individual experience, reasoning, and communication; candidates may not use AI tools during interviews without prior instruction.
