EIC Design Engineer
Langham Recruitment, San Francisco, CA, United States
EIC Designer (Analog / Mixed-Signal / RF – Photonics) | $200,000 - $320,000 | Bay Area
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Electrical IC Designer with expertise in analog, mixed-signal, or RF design, and working knowledge of photonic devices, to develop high-speed electro-optical systems.
This role focuses on the design of electronic ICs that interface with photonic components, enabling next-generation optical communication and connectivity solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop high-speed analog, mixed-signal, or RF ICs for electro-optical systems.
Interface electronic circuits with photonic devices including modulators (MRMs, MZMs) and photodetectors (PDs).
Contribute to high-speed link design, including SERDES and optical interconnect architectures.
Perform co-simulation of electronic and photonic subsystems to ensure system-level performance.
Collaborate closely with photonics engineers to optimize electro-optical integration.
Develop behavioral and circuit-level models for system simulation.
Use programming tools (e.g., Python or MATLAB) for modelling, analysis, and design automation.
Qualifications
PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field, or MS with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
Strong experience in analog, mixed-signal, or RF IC design.
Experience in high-speed design (e.g., SERDES, wireline, or RF systems).
Familiarity with photonic devices such as MRMs, MZMs, and photodetectors.
Proficiency with Cadence design environments and mixed-signal simulation.
Understanding of signal integrity, high-speed channels, and system-level link budgets.
Experience in electro-optics, RF photonics, or optical interconnects is a plus.
Strong programming skills (Python or MATLAB).
Ability to work independently and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
Base salary range: $200,000 – $300,000.
Eligibility for performance-based bonuses and short- and long-term incentive programs.
Competitive benefits package including health, life, and disability insurance, PTO, parental leave, and additional employee benefits.
