Analog SerDes Architect

At Kandou
, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.

Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient
. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.

Job title:

Ser Des Architecture and Modeling Engineer

Location :
Lausanne, Switzerland

• Implement, document, and maintain software for system-level modelling of serial communication links in MATLAB, Python, and C++
• Work closely with system architects in order to budget the link and define block-level specs of the transceiver
• Work closely with analog, digital, and verification teams in order to support the design and verification process

• Good knowledge of control theory and digital algorithms
• Demonstrated skills in implementing signal-processing algorithms
• Understanding of the building blocks of a digital communication link and factors impacting the link performance (Familiarity with Ser Des link components and clock recovery circuits is a plus)
• Proficient in at least one of the following programming languages C++, MALTAB, or Python/Num Py.
• Familiar with git version-control system and fundamentals of software engineering (unit-testing, profiling, …)
• Familiar with analog circuit simulators (SPICE/SPECTRE)
• Familiar with principles of signal integrity
• Strong communication and presentation skills

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor, telecommunications, or mathematical/scientific software industry
• Experience with system-level simulation of digital communication systems (experience in Ser Des links is a plus)
• Experience working with geographically dispersed teams

• Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Communication Systems, or Computer Science (equivalent or higher) with strong background in Signal Processing and good understanding of Circuits Theory
