🚀 Lead Analog IC Architect

We are seeking a Lead Analog IC Architect to join our growing start-up client based in Oxford. This is a strategic and highly collaborative role, focused on shaping and guiding the architecture of analog building blocks that enable a breakthrough computing platform.

As the Lead Analog IC Architect, you will:

• Define and own the analog building block architecture, ensuring alignment with system requirements and long-term scalability
• Work closely with the internal engineering team, bridging system-level requirements with IC implementation
• Collaborate with and guide an external design house, ensuring quality and consistency of analog block development
• Provide technical insight across analog design, architecture trade-offs, and potential challenges

We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of deep technical expertise and high-level architectural thinking. You should be able to see the bigger picture while still understanding the fine details that make analog ICs work at scale.

You will bring:

• A strong background in Analog IC design with proven experience in defining or leading IC/SoC building block architecture
• Deep knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuit design
• Experience collaborating with key stakeholders and/or third-party design partners or design houses
• A strategic mindset with the ability to balance immediate technical challenges with long-term system vision
