Ambiq
Company Overview
Ambiq's mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq is a pioneer and a leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions based on our proprietary and patented sub- and near-threshold technologies. With the increasing power requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our customers are relying on our solutions to deliver AI to edge environments. Our hardware and software innovations fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs without expensive process geometry scaling. We began in 2010 by addressing the power consumption challenges of battery-powered devices at the edge, where they were most pronounced. As of the beginning of 2025, we've shipped more than 280+ million units worldwide.
Our innovative and fast-moving teams of design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations are spread across several continents, including the US (Austin), Taiwan (Hsinchu), China (Shanghai and Shenzhen), and Singapore. We value relentless technology innovation, a deep commitment to customer success, collaborative problem-solving, and an enthusiastic pursuit of energy efficiency. We embrace candidates who also share these same values. The successful candidate must be self-motivated, creative, and comfortable learning and driving exciting new technologies. We encourage and nurture an environment that fosters growth and opportunities to work on complex, meaningful, and challenging projects, creating a lasting impact and shaping the future of technology. Join us on our quest for enabling billions of intelligent devices. The intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
Responsibilities
Chip level and block level spec definition
Circuit architectural design and verification
Transistor-level analog IC circuit design and verification
Directly conduct or closely supervise the analog circuit layout
Conduct design reviews and resolve action items generated as a result of these reviews
Attend design reviews to provide input and guidance to other designers
Work with digital designers to interface with and verify analog circuit block
Assist in prototype chip testing to validate analog circuit blocks
Develop and implement a manufacturing test plan for analog circuit blocks; support efficient test program development
Support marketing in product definition
Support product engineering to meet manufacturing/production needs
Support applications engineering to meet customer needs
Requirements
Master’s degree or equivalent training in related field and 10+ years of related experience. An advanced degree (e.g., PhD) may reduce the minimum experience required.
Experience in the full design flow, from specification to circuit design/verification to prototype testing to high volume production support
Experience in top level verification, integration of IP blocks, LVS, DRC, FILL and tape out experience desirable.
Experience designing various analog circuits including voltage regulators, voltage reference generators, analog-to-digital converters, crystal oscillators, and DC-DC converters
Experience with IO and ESD is extremely desirable
Solid background in semiconductor physics and signal processing
Experience designing subthreshold-biased or ultra-low power analog circuits is extremely desirable
Experience with mixed mode simulators and Verilog-ams is extremely desirable
Experience working with a team of analog and digital designers in a mixed-signal environment
Experience guiding layout trade-offs for performance and size
Experience designing analog circuits for testability using special test modes, production trimming, etc.
What You Need We're seeking passionate technologists who thrive on pushing boundaries, solving complex challenges, and driving transformative solutions. At Ambiq, you'll collaborate with a dynamic team that values relentless innovation, customer-centric thinking, and continuous learning. If you're a self-motivated, creative problem-solver eager to push technological limits and make a meaningful impact in energy efficiency, this is your opportunity to grow, excel, and turn groundbreaking ideas into reality.
Shared Values
Innovate: We tenaciously find ways to break down the barriers to possible solutions
Collaborate: We proactively communicate and encourage each other to be better.
Focus: We keep the voice of the customer at the center of everything we do.
Learn: We strive for continuous improvement and are always curious.
Achieve: We execute on quality and follow through on our commitments.
