About Xanadu: Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems and literally change the world. If you thrive on tackling complex challenges at the intersection of high‑speed analog, high voltage, and advanced semiconductor technologies, we want to hear from you!

This isn’t your typical analog design job. We are building state‑of‑the‑art photonic quantum computers, and this role is critical to controlling and reading out our core hardware. As our Senior Analog IC Design Engineer, you will own the entire lifecycle of custom ASICs built to operate in truly demanding environments.

You will be solving unique challenges at the intersection of high‑speed (10ns) and high‑voltage (up to 100V) design. Critical blocks in the circuits you design will include transimpedance amplifiers and high‑voltage amplifiers and drivers.

Design & Simulation: Own the specification, schematic capture, and simulation of novel, high‑performance analog and mixed‑signal circuits to meet stringent design targets. Drive the entire design flow, from specification through layout, verification, and preparing designs for production (tapeout).

Testing & Characterization: Plan, execute, and analyze results from the lab to test and characterize realized designs against specifications.



Partner with our photonics, packaging, and systems teams to co‑design and solve system‑level integration challenges.

Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in analog or mixed‑signal ASIC/IC design. A proven track record of taking complex designs from initial concept to tested silicon in a lab environment.

Technical Mastery: Professional design experience across multiple semiconductor process nodes (e.A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. A strong desire to deliver high quality technical documentation across different formats.

Photonics Experience: Familiarity with photodetectors, optical modulators, or their interface electronics. D. focused on a relevant IC design topic.

DACs: Demonstrated experience designing and verifying various DAC architectures. The base salary range is 180,000 - 220,000 CAD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. They are fundamental and lay the foundation for culture at Xanadu.

We are committed to building an inclusive, safe, and equitable culture and fostering an workplace where our employees feel included, valued, and heard. We are committed to meeting the needs of all individuals and support a barrier‑free workplace. Please be advised that we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in the screening and assessment of applicants for this position.
