What you'll do

  • Define and own Analogue Insight's long-term technology vision for electrical and photonic interconnect, grounded in first-principles engineering and aligned with market needs, customer roadmaps and the company's growth plans.
  • Translate the strategy into a clear multi-year IP roadmap – next-generation SerDes, UCIe die-to-die links, high-bandwidth memory interfaces, data converters and optical I/O – prioritising investment, tape-outs and advanced-node choices, and owning technical risk mitigation, with the CEO and executive team.
  • Act as the final technical authority on architecture, circuit approaches and design methodology, setting aggressive performance, power, area and robustness targets, and leading technical reviews across architecture, analog/mixed-signal, digital, layout and validation.
  • Personally drive resolution of the most challenging circuit and system issues through first-principles analysis, modelling, simulation and silicon-based investigation.
  • Ensure robust design closure – post-layout verification, performance optimisation and silicon-to-model correlation – so that our IP is first-time-right in customer silicon.
  • Build and lead the CTO Office and the technical leadership team, mentoring senior and principal engineers, raising the technical bar and shaping our technical career track.
  • Lead advanced R&D and technology exploration, driving architectural innovation in high-speed analog, mixed-signal and photonic circuits, and growing a strong patent and publication portfolio.
  • Leverage your network to build and lead partnerships with top universities and research institutes, including joint research programmes, funded projects, PhD and post-doc collaborations, and talent pipelines.
  • Serve as the senior technical voice of the company with customers, foundries, EDA vendors, standards bodies and ecosystem partners, supporting key wins and strategic engagements.
  • Represent the technology vision to investors, advisors and the board, and support technical due diligence for fundraising, grants and potential acquisitions.
  • Promote rigorous engineering practices, design quality and knowledge sharing, and champion design automation, simulation automation and AI-assisted design to scale productivity and quality.

What we're looking for

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with a focus on high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuit design
  • 15+ years of combined industry and/or academic experience in high-speed analog design, including senior technical leadership roles
  • World-class expertise in at least one of: high-speed wireline transceivers (SerDes, die-to-die links), clocking and PLLs, or high-speed data converters – with a strong system-level view across the full link
  • Strong understanding of advanced CMOS (FinFET and beyond), packaging and chiplet integration, and the interaction between circuits, channels and systems
  • Proven track record of taking complex designs from architecture to successful silicon
  • Strong academic and industry standing, evidenced by publications at leading venues (e.g. ISSCC, VLSI, JSSC, CICC), patents and invited talks
  • An established network across leading universities, research institutes and the semiconductor industry
  • Experience building and leading high-performing technical teams, ideally including distributed or remote teams
  • Inspiring, clear communication in professional English – able to engage engineers, customers, academics and investors alike
  • Strategic thinker who is also comfortable going deep into technical details
  • Collaborative, feedback-oriented leadership style that builds trust across a remote team
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow senior engineers and future technical leaders
  • Strong ownership, reliability, and follow-through
  • High level of integrity and professionalism in representing the company and handling sensitive information

Nice to have

  • Current or past professorship or senior research position at a leading university
  • Fractional-N PLLs, LC-VCOs, DTC/TDC, multi-modulus dividers
  • Phase interpolators, injection-locked oscillators, multi-phase clock generation
  • High-speed time-interleaved DACs and line drivers
  • TIAs, CTLEs, PGAs and other high-bandwidth amplifiers
  • Time-interleaved SAR ADCs and track-and-hold circuits
  • Bandgaps, LDOs, temperature sensors and other precision/support circuits
  • Experience in photonic or optical interconnect (e.g. TIAs, drivers, co-packaged optics)
  • Experience with circuit modelling, simulation automation, optimisation and silicon-to-model correlation
  • Involvement in standards bodies or consortia (e.g. UCIe, JEDEC, OIF, IEEE)
  • Experience securing and leading funded research programmes and industry–academia collaborations
  • Start-up or scale-up experience, including working with investors and boards
