About d-Matrix

d-Matrix is redefining AI inference with memory-centric compute built for ultra-low latency, greater efficiency, and scalable AI infrastructure.

About the role

d-Matrix is looking for a Staff Analog Design Engineer to lead analog-mixed signal IC design for our next-generation AI inference accelerators. This role owns circuit design for two critical subsystems: our in-memory-compute engine and the die-to-die serial interface that enables scale-out.

What they're looking for

  • We'd be excited about candidates with deep expertise in any one of the following areas:
  • SerDes verification & characterization — building/maintaining analog verification infrastructure (testbenches, regressions, Monte Carlo campaigns), migrating blocks across process nodes, or reliability analysis (EM, IR drop, ESD/latch-up)
  • Clocking & CDR — ownership of a low-jitter PLL, phase interpolator, or CDR loop through silicon at 25 Gbps+ per lane, including bang-bang/baud-rate/DSP-assisted CDR architectures
  • TX/RX datapath — high-speed driver or receive front-end design (CTLE, VGA, samplers), DFE/FFE equalization, or PAM4/DSP-based receiver architectures
  • Die-to-die interconnect experience (UCIe, BoW, or proprietary D2D PHY), familiarity with relevant specs (OIF CEI-112G/224G, IEEE 802.3, PCIe Gen6/7), or standards body participation

d-Matrix is looking for a Staff Analog Design Engineer to lead analog-mixed signal IC design for our next-generation AI inference accelerators. This role owns circuit design for two critical subsystems: our in-memory-compute engine and the die-to-die serial interface that enables scale-out. You will drive design from schematic through silicon bring-up, guiding layout engineers working in deep sub-micron process nodes (7nm and below) and ensuring designs meet low-power performance targets across process-voltage-temperature corners. You will partner closely with layout engineers,...
