Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer - TIA

Flux Computing designs and manufactures optical processors to train and run inference on large AI models. Join us to be part of a highly motivated and skilled team that thrives on delivering impact and innovation at speed.

The Role

We’re searching for a Senior/Staff/Analog Design Engineer with a strong focus on CMOS analogue design to lead the design, validation and productisation of ultra‑high‑speed (> 10 GHz) transimpedance amplifiers that sit at the electrical-optical front end of our OTPU. The role demands deep expertise in low‑noise, wide‑bandwidth analog circuit design, simulation and measurement. The ideal candidate will pair a solid grounding in semiconductor physics with a passion for building reliable, production‑worthy TIAs that unlock new levels of AI‑hardware performance.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop high‑speed CMOS TIAs – from schematic through post‑layout verification, lab bring‑up and production test – meeting stringent bandwidth, input‑referred‑noise and linearity targets for our optical links.

• Work hand‑in‑hand with opto‑electronic and packaging teams to co‑design the photodiode, package, and PCB interconnect that surround the TIA, ensuring seamless system integration.

• Analyse circuit performance, identify bottlenecks (e.g. excess input capacitance, stability, power), and implement innovative solutions such as inductive peaking, active feedback, or process‑corner tuning to optimise speed, noise and power.

• Mentor junior engineers, run in‑depth design and layout reviews, and champion best‑practice methodologies for high‑frequency, low‑noise analog design.

• Track and bring into the team the latest advances in TIA architectures, CMOS processes, RF‑EDA flows and test techniques to keep Flux at the cutting edge.

Skills & Experience

• 7 + years of industry experience in CMOS integrated‑circuit design with a primary focus on high‑speed, low‑noise analog front ends (TIA, LNA, or similar).

• Mastery of analog/RF EDA flows: schematic capture, SPICE and S‑parameter simulation, layout and parasitic extraction, and post‑silicon characterisation.

• Proven track record of meeting sub‑pA/√Hz input‑referred noise, multi‑10‑GHz bandwidth and tight power budgets in a shipping product.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related); Master’s / PhD a plus.

• Strong problem‑solving skills, especially in feedback stability, transmission‑line effects, package modelling and de‑embedding.

• Excellent collaboration and communication abilities for effective cross‑disciplinary teamwork.

• Demonstrated success in fast‑paced environments where innovation and rapid iteration are paramount.

• A portfolio of personal or open‑source projects – or published papers/patents – that highlights creative analog or RF design thinking.

Frequent travel is expected between our Austin and London offices.
