Senior Analog Design Engineer

Job description

Meet Arago and the Aragonians Arago is an AI and computer hardware company whose mission is to drive the course of history forward. We do so by accelerating breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and semiconductors. Founded in 2024 by AI researchers and physicists with deep expertise in photonics, electronics, software, mathematics, and machine learning, Arago brings together a lean team of engineers and scientists from the world’s top companies and research labs. Composed of nine nationalities and operating from hubs in France, North America, and Israel, we believe in great science and fast achievements. Our work is guided by these core principles: Do great things: we deliver work we’re proud to sign our name to. High velocity: speed matters. We move quickly, one step at a time. One unit: we’re all in this together, with relationships grounded in trust, respect, and camaraderie. Arago is backed by executives from Apple, Arm, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Hugging Face, as well as prominent US and European deeptech venture firms and exited founders. What you’ll do Design high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs optimized for precision, power, and area, driving Arago’s prototype and product iterations from architecture to silicon validation. Responsibilities Design and simulate analog and RF integrated circuits, including critical blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, and bias/reference circuits, with a focus on signal integrity, linearity, and precision. Optimize circuits for power, area, and performance trade-offs, ensuring designs meet system-level requirements across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations. Collaborate closely with optics, simulation and PCB teams to define architecture and block-level specifications for Arago’s successive prototypes and product iterations, ensuring tight alignment with overall performance and integration goals. Work with layout engineers to guide floor-planning and physical design, minimizing parasitic effects and preserving analog precision in layout-sensitive blocks. Support post-silicon validation and bring-up, defining test plans, analyzing lab measurements, and correlating results with simulation to refine future design iterations. Language: English at a proficient level. French is a plus. Required Skills and Experience A sound mathematical understanding and deep physical intuition of analog…
