Job Description
****About TylSemi, Inc.****
### The Opportunity
The AI infrastructure market is exploding. Every hyperscaler, every cloud provider, every AI company is building custom silicon. But they all face the same problem: ****how do you connect hundreds of chips, deliver clean power at scale, and move terabits of data without melting the package?****
That's what we solve. TylSemi builds the ****chiplet infrastructure IP**** — the IO, power delivery, and interconnect building blocks — that makes AI/HPC systems actually work at scale.
****This isn't a nice-to-have. It's the critical path.****
### Why Now
### The Market Window
The semiconductor industry is going through its biggest architectural shift in 40 years:
• ****Moore's Law is dead.**** 2nm and beyond delivers marginal performance gains. The future is chiplets, not monolithic dies.
• ****Custom silicon is now mainstream.**** Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI — they're all designing their own ASICs. The $50B custom silicon market is growing 30% annually.
• ****IO and power are the bottleneck.**** Solve hard problems and provide something which is a category in itself.
****Translation:**** We're entering the market at exactly the moment when every major AI/HPC player needs what we're building, and their alternatives are disappearing.
### Culture & Team: How We Work
### No Politics, No Bureaucracy
There are no layers, no approval chains, no corporate theater.
• If you have an idea, we test it. If it works, we ship it.
• No endless meetings, no PowerPoint presentations to convince middle management.
### Remote-Friendly, Global Team
• ****US team:**** Bay Area preferred, but we hire the best people regardless of location
• ****India team:**** Building a world-class design center in Bangalore
### Move Fast, Ship Real Products
We're not a research project. We have paying customers, committed capital, and aggressive timelines.
This is a company, not a lifestyle business. We're building to win.
### What We Value
• ****Ownership mindset.**** You're not here to execute someone else's roadmap. You're here to define it.
• ****Bias for action.**** We move fast. Analysis paralysis doesn't fly here.
• ****Deep technical expertise.**** This is hard engineering. We need people who've shipped real silicon and debugged real hardware.
• ****Low ego, high standards.**** We don't care about titles or politics. We care about results.
### The Ask
If you're reading this, you're probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits.
We're asking you to walk away from that and bet on us.
****Here's why you should:****
• ****The market is real.**** AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what we're building.
• ****The team has done this before.**** We've built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isn't our first rodeo.
• ****The traction is de-risked.**** We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.
• ****The work is consequential.**** You're not optimizing someone's ad click-through rate. You're building the silicon infrastructure that powers AI.
****This is the bet.**** Join us and build something that matters.
### Or stay comfortable. No judgment.
But if you're the kind of person who wants to take the shot, we'd love to talk.
****READY TO JOIN?****
****Role Overview****
As an Analog Design Engineer at Tylsemi, you will design and deliver high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits that enable robust, manufacturable silicon. This role spans a wide experience range (5–30 years) and is ideal for engineers who combine strong fundamentals with practical execution—translating system requirements into silicon-ready designs, validating performance across corners, and partnering closely with layout, verification, test, and product teams to drive first-time-right outcomes.
****What********You’ll********Do****
* Own end-to-end analog block development: requirements definition, architecture, transistor-level design, simulation, and signoff
* Design andoptimizeanalog/mixed-signal circuits such as amplifiers, references, biasing, regulators (LDO/DC-DC support), comparators, oscillators/clocking, data converters (as applicable), and sensor/AFE front ends
* Drive performance across PVT corners, mismatch/Monte Carlo, aging/reliability considerations, and realistic loading/interaction with surrounding blocks
* Partner with layout to guidefloorplanning, matching/guarding strategies, parasitic-aware design, and post-layout closure (PEX)
* Develop and maintain testbenches, modeling collateral, and documentation to enable efficient verification and integration
* Support silicon bring-up and debug: correlate lab data to simulations, root-cause issues, and implement design fixes or ECOs
* Collaborate cross-functionally with digital, firmware, DFT, validation, and product engineering to ensure system-level success
* Contribute to designmethodologyimprovements: reusable circuits, checklists, signoff flows, and best practices that scale across programs
****What********We’re********Looking For****
* 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design (scope and ownership aligned to experience level)
* Strong fundamentals in analog circuit design, device physics, noise, stability/compensation, and feedback systems
* Proficiencywith industry-standard EDA tools and simulation flows (e.g.,Spectre/HSPICE, ADE, waveform/debug tooling)
* Experience closing designs through post-layoutparasiticsand across process/voltage/temperature corners
* Ability to translate ambiguous system needs into clear block requirements and executable design plans
* Strong debugging skills and comfort working with lab/validation teams to correlate silicon to simulation
* Clear communication and high ownership in cross-site, cross-functional environments
****Nice to Have****
* Experience with high-speed or precision analog (low-noise, low-offset, high-linearity) depending on product needs
* Background in power management (LDOs, bandgaps, references, protection, start-up, transient response)
* ADC/DAC, Power related analog experience
* Familiarity with reliability/ESD considerations and design-for-manufacturability practices
* Experience supporting production ramp: yield learning, characterization, and test correlation
****Success in This Role Looks Like****
* Analog blocks meet spec with margin across PVT, mismatch, and post-layout effects
* Design reviews are crisp: requirements, tradeoffs, and risks are clearly articulated and managed
* Siliconbring-up converges quickly through strong correlation, structured debug, and decisive fixes
* Cross-functional partners (layout, verification, test, validation) can execute efficiently with clear interfaces and documentation
* Reusable design collateral and improvedmethodologyreduce cycle time and increase first-pass success
