Asic Design Lead

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Osho is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life. We're more than happy to take on someone who wants to work remotely from a different location across New Zealand too, or wants to relocate.

We closed a $12m capital raise late 2021, so we're well funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

As the ASIC Design Lead, you will be responsible for helping us to extend our capabilities with your excellent ASIC design expertise. You will be responsible for building a small team that will develop concepts, functional prototypes, test setups, and scripts that will ultimately result in high-performance, low-cost ICs for our business. This team is core to our long-term business strategy.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- **Design**: Drive the full ASIC design cycle, from specification and architecture definition to layout, verification, and tape-out.
- **Integration**: Work with cross functional teams (HW/RTL, Analog HW, FW, Architecture) and participate in digital and analog test design, verification and software development for emulation.
- **Test**: Test vector development, JTAG, ALT and and sub-system verification (Analog and Digital)
- **Verification**: Develop and implement functional test verification and validation plans.
- **Specifications**: Participate in ASIC specification, Acceptance Test Plan (ATP), packaging design and test requirements.
- **Liaison**: Work with key external partners to ensure delivery of the ASIC program.
- **Leadership**: Day to day management of the team, strategic planning, recruitment and cross functional alignment

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have:

- A Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering or related field
- A Minimum of 8 years of experience in mixed-signal ASIC design, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
- Expertise in analog and digital circuit design, including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, amplifiers, and filters.
- Experience integrating ARM or RISC-V cores into mixed-signal designs.
- Proficiency in industry-standard design tools, such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, and Mentor Graphics Calibre.
- Strong knowledge of CMOS process technology, device physics, and layout techniques
- Familiarity with mixed-signal verification methodologies, including AMS simulation, formal verification, and hardware co-simulation.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
- Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines.

Some nice to haves include:
**Benefits**
- A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
- A remote-first culture - work from home or come into the office, it's totally up to you
- Great new headphones when you join
- Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
- A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
- Office dogs
- Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
- Newly-refurbished offices in Auckland (by the beach) and Christchurch (by the park)
- The opportunity to learn and develop from some of the best and brightest minds in the industry
