About this role

We are looking for a Senior Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer with 3-5 years of experience to design and implement critical circuit building blocks for Extropic's groundbreaking thermodynamic computing chips. You'll join a team that just taped out their third chip — a 250, 000 p-bit fabric — and is now defining the architecture for three upcoming chips. This is a rare opportunity to work at the ground level of an entirely new compute paradigm that could deliver 10, 000x power improvements over existing AI accelerators. You'll work across analog, mixed-signal, and probabilistic circuit domains in a fast-moving startup environment where everyone gets their hands dirty.

What will you be doing?

Designing analog and mixed-signal building blocks including ADCs, PLLs, band gaps, regulators, oscillators, high-speed dividers, and serializer/deserializers

Owning block-level design across multiple chips, from architecture and schematic through layout and tape-out verification (DRC, ERC, LVS)

Performing hands-on layout work as well as comprehensive simulations in Cadence (PEX, Monte-Carlo, Corner analysis)

Supporting lab testing and validation of mixed-signal circuits using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes

Collaborating cross-functionally with IC, systems, physics, and algorithms teams to bring thermodynamic sampling units from concept to silicon

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.

Culture & values

Tight-knit, full-stack organization of approximately 30 people

Four core groups work in close collaboration: Algorithms, Systems, Physics, and IC Design

Everyone gets their hands dirty across the organization

VP of Engineering participates in hands-on layout work

Engineers pick up tasks outside their core specialty

Distinctly startup culture

Leadership values intellectual curiosity

Leadership values deep technical intuition

Leadership values willingness to tackle unglamorous but necessary work
