Senior Analog IC Design Engineer

Job Description

Job Title: Senior Analog IC Design Engineer. Location: Toronto, ON, Canada

You will work on challenging problems involving high-speed and high-voltage analog and mixed-signal circuit design that directly impact next-generation quantum systems.

Duties:

• Own the full lifecycle of custom analog and mixed-signal ASIC designs, from specification to tested silicon.
• Design, simulate, and verify high-performance circuits including transimpedance amplifiers and high-voltage drivers.
• Lead layout, verification, and tape-out activities to prepare designs for production;
• Plan and execute lab testing and characterization to validate designs against specifications.
• Collaborate with photonics, packaging, and systems teams to solve system-level integration challenges.
• Produce clear and high-quality technical documentation for designs and test results.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional experience in analog or mixed-signal ASIC or IC design.
• Proven experience taking complex designs from concept to silicon tested in a lab environment.
• Strong background in high-speed (sub-10 ns) or high-voltage (50 V to 100 V) circuit design.
• Experience working across multiple semiconductor process technologies such as CMOS, BiCMOS, BCD, SOI, or GaN.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools, with Cadence strongly preferred;
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Strong communication skills and commitment to producing clear technical documentation.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with photodetectors, optical modulators, or photonic interface electronics.
• Experience with RF analog, high-voltage SOI, or GaN processes.
• PhD focused on advanced IC design topics;
• Hands-on experience designing and verifying DAC architectures.

Benefits and Instructions:

• Opportunity to work on technology that aims to solve real-world problems and change how computing is done.
• Inclusive, safe, and equitable workplace with support for accessibility and accommodations.
• Xanadu may use AI-based tools during the hiring and assessment process.
