We are a small, elite team working on the cutting edge of power-performance product design in digital circuits. Our projects challenge conventional boundaries between digital and analog design, requiring innovative approaches and custom tool development. Join us as we pioneer technology that redefines what is possible in bitcoin mining and energy-efficient computing.
Responsibilities:
* Lead the design and optimization of low-power IC’s for bitcoin mining, employing innovative techniques to enhance performance.
* Collaborate with system engineers to implement cryptographic primitives, such as SHA-256, in hardware.
* Explore and apply energy recovery mechanisms and charge-sharing methods.
* Innovate and optimize modular arithmetic units.
* Characterize and maintain standard cells that function more like mixed-signal circuits rather than pure digital logic.
* Supervise layout work to minimize parasitics and leakage in advanced process nodes (sub-10nm).
* Perform high-sigma OCV (On-Chip Variation) analysis using SPICE-based tools (e.g., HSPICE, Spectre) to ensure robustness and yield.
* Develop mixed-signal circuits, including PLLs, power management units, and unconventional power clocking schemes, to meet stringent power performance goals.
Qualifications:
* Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent expert-level experience.
* Experience: 5+ years in low-power ASIC design, with a focus on mixed-signal and high-performance applications.
* Tool Proficiency: Proficiency in ICADV, Spectre, HSPICE, AMS, and VCS for design, simulation, and verification.
* Statistical Expertise: Strong knowledge of high-sigma OCV analysis and variability considerations.
* Cryptographic Knowledge: Familiarity with SHA-256 and cryptographic processes is a strong asset.
* Innovation: Proven track record of innovation in power-performance optimization techniques.
