Full Time

Shift/Schedule

Full time/ 37.5 hours per week/Monday - Friday

Overview

MintNeuro is a deep-tech startup at the intersection of neurotechnology and semiconductors, developing integrated circuits that interface directly with the human nervous system. We design ultra-low-power, high-performance silicon for implantable devices, pushing the limits of what is possible in constrained biological environments to enable next-generation therapies for neurological conditions.

Role

As a Senior Analogue/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer, you will design ultra-low-power ICs at the limits of noise, energy efficiency, and system integration. You will take designs from architecture through to silicon validation within a small, highly skilled team, owning key subsystems and contributing to multiple tape outs.

Duties and responsibilities

• Design mixed signal ICs for neural interfaces, from architecture to silicon validation
• Develop and verify analogue/mixed signal blocks (e.g. front ends, references, data converters)
• Contribute to full chip integration, tapeout, and post silicon characterisation
• Optimise system performance across power, noise, and area trade offs
• Explore and implement novel circuit techniques for implantable systems

Qualifications

• MSc/PhD in Electronic Engineering or related field, with 5+ years relevant experience
• Strong experience in low power analogue or mixed signal IC design
• Proven track record from specification to tapeout and silicon validation
• Solid understanding of noise, mismatch, and power performance trade offs
• Experience with standard IC design tools (e.g. Cadence Virtuoso)
• Experience with mixed signal simulation (e.g. Verilog A/AMS)
• Experience with ultra low power or biomedical circuits
• Knowledge of power management or full chip integration

What We Offer

• A small, high performance team with direct ownership and rapid access to silicon
• Work on ICs that interface directly with the human nervous system
• Ownership of subsystems and tapeouts, with a path to technical leadership
• Flexible hybrid working with access to London based labs
• Competitive compensation and equity participation

Application

We value diverse perspectives and encourage applications from candidates with non traditional backgrounds or experience that does not fully match every requirement.
