What are the responsibilities and job description for the IC Design Engineer position at Normal Computing?
Your Role in Our Mission :
At Normal Computing, we're developing a new thermodynamic computing paradigm to accelerate probabilistic AI workloads by embracing noise, rather than fighting it. Our work combines foundational research on the physics of computing with a mission to ship scalable, reliable silicon and systems to revolutionize AI.
As an IC design engineer at Normal, you will work closely with the silicon and hardware R&D team to develop and implement novel thermodynamic computing architectures. This is a flexible role for ambitious early-career IC designers; depending on your skills and interests, you may work on analog, digital, or physical design, or a combination of the three.
Responsibilities Could Include :
- You will play a key role in the entire development process of our silicon, from idea to architecture to implementation to tape-out and testing.
- Contribute new ideas for potential thermodynamic computing technologies and architectures.
- Implement analog and mixed-signal components in Cadence Virtuoso, potentially including amplifiers, memory cells, and oscillators.
- RTL design of digital components on our ASICs and in our FPGA test harness, potentially including serial and parallel interface controllers, signal processing algorithms, and calibration algorithms.
- Support physical implementation of digital logic on ASICs and FPGAs using Cadence and Xilinx tools, respectively.
- Participate in the tape-out, bring-up, and testing of Normal's silicon.
