Looking for an individual with experience in analog, digital, power or mixed signal circuit design to develop SPICE models and explore applications for an emerging semiconductor technology. Ideal candidate is someone with significant circuit level/application level design experience, comfortable with SPICE or other common simulation tools, and has some background/interest/willingness to learn about device level semiconductor physics.

About the Company
Join Zinite to reignite Moore's Law by unlocking high-performance, integrated 3D chips for leading-edge CMOS. Zinite is redefining how the semiconductor industry scales performance. The company’s core innovation is a new class of transistors that enable true 3D vertical computation, introducing active functionality into new physical layers above logic without disrupting front-end nodes. This represents a fundamental new platform for semiconductor scaling, addressing the physical and economic limits of
Moore’s Law.

We are a team of world-class physicists, materials scientists, and integration specialists who have already secured a “Big 3” HVM partner. We are now expanding our design ecosystem that begins with you.

About the Role
This is not a standard circuit design role. You will be working with a new device technology, co-developing its SPICE models, and defining how it performs at circuit level. We are looking for a designer who is as much a physicist and detective as someone with an engineering degree, someone who understands devices from first principles and thrives in exploratory design environments. You will play a critical role translating device behavior into functional,



validated circuit models that drive both internal R&D; and external partner adoption. You'll take early transistor data and help translate it into a design-ready, predictive SPICE environment as well as integrating novel transistor models into application specific circuit simulations. You'll work directly with device and process teams, lead early circuit validation projects, and shape how customers and partners design with our technology. Your insights will help shape the design rules, corner models, and reference circuits for a technology that will define a new industry standard, as well as identifying potential applications for this developing technology. We are looking for someone who is not only a circuit design expert, but also someone who can consider the system level impact of design decisions and come up with innovative, practical solutions.

Primary Responsibilities

- Develop and simulate circuits (e.g., Power, memory, analog) using novel, next-generation BEOL transistor technology.
- Partner directly with the device physics team to co-develop and refine compact SPICE models.
- Investigate discrepancies between simulation and real world data to identify root causes and refine the simulation inputs.
- Characterize circuit-level performance, power, and reliability, and feed results back to the technology development team.
- Contribute to foundational IP (patents,



reference designs) that will support future ecosystem and customer adoption.
- Investigate and identify promising applications for novel, next-generation transistors based on projected and modelled device performance characteristics.

Skills and Qualifications
Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Background in power electronics, analog, digital or mixed-signal circuit design.
- Strong understanding of circuit fundamentals.
- Ability to identify key device performance metrics and assess both circuit and system level design considerations.
- Ability to interpret device measurements and correlate to circuit-level behavior.
- Demonstrated ability to debug and solve complex modeling or performance issues.
- Demonstrated ability to generate accurate circuit level simulations and use simulation outputs for design optimization.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort collaborating across device, circuit, and system teams.

Preferred Qualifications

- Proficiency with SPICE-based circuit simulation tools (HSPICE, Spectre, Eldo, or equivalent).
- Hands on experience with circuit validation and measurement techniques.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics.
- Experience with custom layout and understanding of layout-dependent effects.
- Experience with compact model development (Verilog-A, BSIM).
- Master's or PhD degree in related discipline is a plus but not required.
