Digital Design Engineers - 7 openings

Job description

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. Location: Hyderabad OR Bangalore Department: Semiconductor Design Engineering Experience Level: 5–10 Years Employment Type: Full-Time About the Role: We are seeking for talented Mid-Level Digital Design Engineers to contribute to the development of high-performance digital circuits for next-generation communication and memory interfaces. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in high-speed digital design, semiconductor development flows, and cross-functional collaboration with verification and analog/mixed-signal teams. Key Responsibilities: Define digital architecture concepts and specify analog-to-digital interfaces. Develop RTL for high-speed digital blocks and contribute to IP verification and basic DFT implementation. Perform logic synthesis and support timing analysis activities. Design and verify high-performance digital circuits meeting area, timing, and power requirements. Develop block-level specifications based on system-level requirements. Collaborate closely with verification, physical implementation, and analog/mixed-signal engineering teams. Analyse and implement high-speed serial protocols (e.g., USB4, PCIe). Support post-silicon bring-up, debugging, characterization, and productization. Validate and test silicon in laboratory environments. Required Qualifications: B.E/B.Tech./B.S/M.E/M.Tech/M.S in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communications, VLSI, Microelectronics or related field. 5–10 years of semiconductor industry experience in digital design. Proven experience in high-speed digital circuit design using deep-submicron CMOS technologies. Experience designing digital circuits for multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers, DDR, or high-performance memory interfaces. Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for design, simulation, and verification. Strong background in complex digital system design and verification. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with Industry Standard design tools. Experience with multi-gigabit serial data transceivers. Exposure to analog/digital control interfaces. Knowledge of synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and signal processing techniques. Familiarity with verification methodologies and tools. Technical Skills: RTL design expertise including CDC analysis and linting. Strong scripting and automation skills (Python preferred). Solid understanding of high-speed, low-power digital design techniques. Ability to translate system-level requirements into detailed digital implementations. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills. Effective communication and collaboration abilities. Visit us at and
