AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of high-speed SerDes and mixed-signal subsystems for a next-generation SoC. This role spans the full design lifecycle, from circuit implementation through post-silicon validation, across serializers, clock generation, equalization, and supporting analog blocks, requiring strong hands-on circuit design skills and a solid grasp of high-speed signaling fundamentals. This is a highly collaborative, in-office role based in Austin, TX, working closely with cross-functional teams locally while also partnering with engineers in our London and Bristol offices to drive coordinated, global execution. Architect and design high-speed SerDes blocks (serializers, TX drivers, TIAs, CTLEs, CDRs, deserializers, and clock generation) from specification through silicon in advanced FinFET nodes. Perform schematic and post-layout simulations (including EM-IR and reliability simulations) to ensure robust silicon margins, and own design reviews and documentation. Run EM simulations for passives, package interconnects, and on-die routing. Develop behavioral and Verilog-A models to enable system-level and mixed-signal verification. Supervise mask designers closely and provide floorplan and layout guidelines. Collaborate with optical, digital, and system teams on interfaces and link-level performance. Support post-silicon bring-up, lab validation, and debug.. MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience. Strong analog mixed-signal design background with hands-on SerDes experience at data rates of 25 Gbps or higher. Solid understanding of high-speed signaling concepts: jitter, noise, equalization, signal integrity, and link budgeting. Expertise in advanced FinFET nodes with solid grasp of device physics, parasitics, and layout-sensitive design. Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and industry-standard simulation flows including PVT, Monte Carlo, EM-IR, and reliability analysis. Experience developing behavioral and Verilog-A models for mixed-signal verification. Familiarity with post-silicon bring-up, lab measurement equipment, and correlating measured data to simulation. Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across analog, digital, optical, and system teams. Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options. You’re not just joining the mission; you’re owning a piece of it Proximity Bonus: We value your time. To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office Retirement Benefits: Employer-contributed retirement plans to help you build long-term financial security. Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Sparkworks is a specialist team that develops cutting‑edge solutions, particularly in RF and Laser Directed Energy Weapons, and Low Observable Technologies. High demand from various partners across the armed forces community makes this an incredibly exciting time to join us. We are expanding our Lasers team and are looking for talented engineers/physicists to help us push the boundaries of what is possible. We aren't looking for people to simply follow a manual, we are looking for innovators who can work from a blank sheet of paper to determine the technical possibilities that will define the requirements of tomorrow. Depending on where your strengths lie, you will lean into one of two key areas within the lasers team: The Modeller (Simulation & Physics): You are the one who sees the math before the machine. You’ll focus on the underlying physics of laser propagation, using Matlab or Python to build the simulations that predict how our technology will behave in the real world. The Builder (Experimental & Lab): You are the one who makes it tangible. You’ll design and build complex laboratory experiments, applying the scientific method to test hypotheses and prove that the theory works in practice. While you will lead in one area, both roles involve a mixture of design, lab work, and the opportunity to see your work put to the test in field trials. This is a rare opportunity to work with high‑powered laser systems at a scale seldom found outside of a handful of organisations globally. Operating with a research‑driven mindset, you will tackle complex, high‑stakes intellectual challenges that have a direct impact on national security and the protection of UK Armed Forces. Beyond the lab, you will have the opportunity to expand your professional reach through collaboration with key UK and international partner organisations and our European offices. • An innovator, who enjoy the process of exploration and the challenge of working without a strict set of requirements., • A problem solver, capable of taking a complex engineering challenge and iterating to a viable solution., • A good foundation in Physics/Optics via a PhD, a Masters, or significant practical experience, that gives you a deep understanding of the behaviour of light., • The ability to communicate your ideas and outcomes clearly., • Experience with modelling tools (e.g. Matlab, Python, Zemax, or LabView) or a track record of building experimental setups from scratch., • Experience in the defence, aerospace, or photonics sectors. We value a curious mind and the ability to thrive in an environment where the path forward isn't always mapped out.
