About Neuralink

• We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.

Team Description

• The Brain Interfaces SoC Department delivers chip architecture and silicon implementation of neural recording and stimulation system-on-chip (SoC) for high-bandwidth brain-machine interface applications. We have crafted a team of exceptional engineers whose mission is to push the frontiers of what is possible today and define the future.

Job Description and Responsibilities

The engineer will be responsible for analog and mixed-signal chip design, from circuit design to layout and verification. Other responsibilities include

• Design analog circuit building blocks and subsystems in transistor-level to achieve a variety of challenging noise, mismatch, distortion, power consumption, and cost requirements while satisfying top-level specifications
• Works with layout teams to oversee block-level layout of multiple blocks
• Planning and execution of analog verification plan for portion of IP or chip and runs complex simulations and analyses (e.g., power, performance, linearity, yield) on designs
• Designs, programs, and runs complex tests and reviews tests of junior team members; ensures bugs and other issues are identified and appropriately analyzed
• Consults with internal or external users and third-party vendors to guide implementation and ensure alignment with their needs and goals

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree and additional experience in a related technical field for at least 5 years after receiving the BS degree
• Minimum 5 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal integrated CMOS circuit design for a specific area (e.g., delta-sigma ADC, SAR ADC, DAC, VCO, PLL, DLL, Audio CODEC and Class D audio amplifier, high speed PHY & SERDES) with a successful track record of silicon validation
• The ideal candidates are people who get excited about building things, are highly analytical, and enjoy tackling new problems regularly

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters or PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or other related fields
• Experience with design for high-volume production
• Experience in lab testing of high-precision analog and mixed-signal ICs
• Functional modeling experience and logic verification with Verilog AMS and SystemVerilog
• Experience in design and layout with advanced CMOS FinFET technologies
• Skills in scripting and automation for complex simulation scenarios
