About the venture

GEMESYS is a pioneering deep-tech startup based in Bochum, Germany, committed to pushing the boundaries of computing technology. Their mission is to design a chip that functions like the human brain, overcoming computing limitations to empower AI with the necessary hardware for transformative impact.

With €3M+ in funding and full backing from the German Government and the Federal Ministry for Economics and Climate Action, GEMESYS is challenging the status quo. The team consists of innovative thinkers who thrive in an agile, startup environment, providing hands-on opportunities to contribute to next-generation AI hardware. GEMESYS operates with a high-speed approach, embracing fast failure and even faster learning.

About the role

GEMESYS is looking for a Senior Analog-/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer to join their cutting-edge hardware development team. This role requires expertise across the full IC design stack—from concept through successful silicon implementation, including top-level integration, post-layout verification, and final design sign-off. Experience with PCB design, system integration, and chip testing is highly advantageous.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, simulate, and validate analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, including opamps, low-power and low-leakage circuits, logic, and memory blocks.
• Lead and participate in all stages of the IC design process, including:
  • Schematic design and simulation
  • Layout and parasitic extraction
  • Design and performance verification (post-layout simulations)
  • Top-level integration and sign-off
• Focus on low-power performance, low-leakage, and noise robustness in circuit design.
• Ensure precise physical design implementation.
• Support board-level design, integration, and testing processes.
• Debug silicon prototypes in the lab, focusing on performance optimization and issue resolution.
• Collaborate closely with other teams to ensure designs meet system-level requirements.
• Prepare comprehensive technical documentation for design, testing, and verification processes.
