Digital ASIC Designer

Who we areIntegral is building technologies to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.Our first device is a miniaturized, implanted, deep-brain interface for severely affected patients. It will have unprecedented capabilities for recording and modulating neural activity and for monitoring patients’ symptoms.This device will dramatically advance our ability to treat brain disorders and to understand their biological causes. We will use this unique discovery platform to develop an expanding range of more effective treatments that will ultimately be accessible to everyone.Leadership:Flip Sabes, CSO - Neuralink cofounder, UCSF Professor Emeritus, neuroscientist and neurotech innovatorMilan Cvitkovic, CEO - Neurotech venture builder; previously first-hire at Convergent Research, AI researcher, and software engineerStephen O'Driscoll, VP of Engineering - Verily cofounder and former Head of Electrical Engineering, former Director of Device Electronics at Science CorpWe prioritize ambitious engineering, speed, and patients' needs. What you’ll doYou’ll be a founding member of Integral's ASIC team, responsible for developing - from scratch - and shipping the core ICs that will define the capabilities of our first product. You'll build chips for neural recording and stimulation that achieve state-of-the-art miniaturization, power efficiency, and channel count, designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, safety, and supply chain resilience. More specifically, you'll be responsible for ultra-low-power custom cores for real-time processing, clock and data communication interfaces, and top-level integration.We work full-time, in-person in South San Francisco.Who we’re looking forYou should have substantial skills and expertise across most of the following:RTL design concepts and implementation via VerilogLogic synthesis techniques to optimize RTL code, performance, and power; especially low-power design techniquesStatic timing analysis (STA) and formal verification tools and methodologies, e.g. UVMDFT flow (SCAN/IDDQ/MBIST)Multiple clocks, synchronous and asynchronousScripting languages like PythonBuses, intra- and inter-chip data interfaces, including drivers, receivers, and SerDes for interchip communicationExperience with any of the following would be a bonus:Mixed-signal integration and top-level chip simulation Power-constrained, battery-operated devicesEqualization for wireline communications e.g. predistortion, DFEsFPGAs and emulation platformsDevelopment of ATE patterns for digital and mixed-signal designs, and support of ATE activity including test pattern debug and test-time reductionPhysical designChips for heavily regulated industriesNeurotechnology experience is not necessary. A track record of swift execution is.
