Careers
Analog Designer
ONiO builds microcontrollers that run without batteries — but that’s not the point. Our chips harvest ambient energy — light, heat, RF — and just work. No wires. No recharging rituals. No maintenance loops. We don’t believe batteries are evil. We just don’t assume they’ll always be there. Our first chip, ONiO.zero, is a wireless microcontroller built from scratch to run on harvested energy. It cold-starts from under a microwatt. It runs BLE and other radios.
We’re looking for an Analog IC Designer to help us build the next wave of batteryless products. You’ll design ultra-low-power analog circuits that bring our energy harvesting platform to life.
Responsibilities
- Design and simulate analog building blocks (bandgaps, LDOs, ADCs, comparators, oscillators, ADPLLs)
- Define and refine specs based on system and application needs
- Perform transistor-level design in deep submicron CMOS (180nm down to 22nm)
- Run schematic capture, pre- and post-layout simulations with industry EDA tools
- Collaborate across digital, mixed-signal, and software teams for seamless integration
- Drive layout to ensure matching, parasitic control, and area optimization
- Document designs, participate in reviews, and maintain the design database
- Support silicon validation, test chip evaluation, and lab debug
- Contribute to system architecture for next-gen MCUs and sensor interfaces
- Improve IP reuse across projects and tapeouts
Requirements
- Solid analog circuit design experience in CMOS (5+ years preferred)
- Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE, or similar tools
- Deep understanding of noise, mismatch, offset, stability, and process variation
- Good grasp of analog layout principles and techniques
- Experience with core analog circuits: amps, voltage/current references, ADC/DACs, biasing, frequency generation
- Working knowledge of mixed-signal design and integration challenges
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Strong documentation and communication skills
- Experience with ultra-low-power analog for IoT or battery-powered devices
Bonus skills
- Post-silicon debug and automated measurement scripting (Python, MATLAB)
Benefits
- Competitive salary and insurance, health & pension benefits
- Stock options — skin in the game
- The chance to shape real, cutting-edge products
- Fast-paced, diverse, design-forward environment
- Work-life balance, family-friendly policies
We know talent doesn’t come in neatly shaped lists. If you don’t tick every box but this sounds like your kind of challenge — apply anyway. We care about capability, curiosity, and attitude over perfection.
