About Kandou
At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.
Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.
Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.
Job Title: Analog Design Engineer
Location: EU/CH/UK
Key Responsibilities
- Position in design, modeling, and verification of custom analog designs for high-speed Serdes transceivers in advanced technology nodes
- Design and verification of analog circuits, following prescribed design and documentation flows, to meet architecture specifications
- If necessary, support and interact with customers on requirements, design specifications, performance results, and product delivery
- Support analog IP and chip level integration
- Collaborate with architects, technical leads, analog and digital design, layout, integration, verification, silicon validation, and quality teams as needed
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Competencies
- Skilled in the design of high-speed analog Serdes circuits including DFT, DFM, and ESD protection, with a deep knowledge of transistor and wireline communications fundamentals
- Understanding of layout approaches and design techniques used for high-speed and high-precision circuits
- Advanced user of EDA tools for design and verification of analog circuits, preferably using the Cadence Virtuoso environment, including their use for simulation, parasitic extraction, electromagnetic modelling, EM/IR, and reliability analysis as well as LVS and DRC
- Self-motivated, a strong sense of ownership and responsibility with good verbal and written communication skills and a team player
- Ability to manage and complete designs to schedule using defined design process flows as well as reporting design status to internal management team
