Unconventional AI is rethinking the foundations of compute to bring biology-scale energy efficiency to AI. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia and a16z.
About the role
As a Member of Technical Staff, Analog CAD Engineer , you will be a foundational member of our multi-disciplinary R&D team. We are looking for individuals who thrive at the intersection of architecture and silicon, turning novel AI concepts into high-performance, energy-efficient hardware. You will be responsible for the full installation, configuration, and integration of our specified CAD tools and Process Design Kits (PDKs) to establish and manage a highly functional, stable analog design environment. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Experience: 10+ years of industry experience in analog or mixed-signal CAD engineering and EDA tool administration
- Deep understanding of schematic, layout, and simulation setup across different process corners and temperatures
- Proficiency in setting up and debugging backend verification rule decks (DRC, LVS, ERC) for advanced nodes
- Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate design flows and data analysis
More about this role
Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to fundamental consumer behaviors. This revolution has created an unprecedented demand for computation—a demand that is now fundamentally limited by energy, not just in the datacenter, but at a global scale. At Unconventional , our mission is to solve this. We are rethinking computing from the ground up to build a new foundation for AI that is 1000x more efficient . We're doing this by exploiting the rich physics of semiconductors, mapping neural networks directly to the device physics rather than relying on layers of inefficient abstraction.
