Location: On-site in Austin, TX or Bristol, UK

Salary: Starting from $317,000 in Austin or £172,000 in Bristol

Company

hirify.global develops the DX-1 decode accelerator, a rack-scale AI hardware platform combining logic, data movement, packaging, optics, and interconnect.

What you will do

• Architect and design high-speed SerDes blocks, including serializers, TX drivers, TIAs, CTLEs, CDRs, deserializers, and clock-generation circuits.
• Take designs from specification through silicon in advanced FinFET nodes, including schematic, post-layout, EM-IR, and reliability simulations.
• Run EM simulations for passives, package interconnects, and on-die routing; develop behavioral and Verilog-A models for mixed-signal verification.
• Guide mask designers on floorplanning and layout, and own design reviews and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with optical, digital, and system teams on interface and link-level performance.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, laboratory validation, debugging, and correlation of measured data with simulations.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years of analog or mixed-signal IC design experience.
• Hands-on SerDes design experience at data rates of 25 Gbps or higher.
• Strong understanding of jitter, noise, equalization, signal integrity, and link budgeting.
• Expertise in advanced FinFET nodes, device physics, parasitics, and layout-sensitive design.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, PVT, Monte Carlo, EM-IR, and reliability analysis flows.
• Experience with post-silicon bring-up, laboratory measurement equipment, and mixed-signal verification.

Culture & Benefits

• In-office collaboration in Austin with engineering teams in London and Bristol.
• Meaningful stock options and ownership participation.
• Annual Living-Local Bonus for employees living within 20 minutes of the office.
• Employer-contributed retirement plans.
