We do so by accelerating breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and semiconductors.\nFounded in 2024 by AI researchers and physicists with deep expertise in photonics, electronics, software, mathematics, and machine learning, Arago brings together a lean team of engineers and scientists from the world’s top companies and research labs.\nComposed of nine nationalities and operating from hubs in France, North America, and Israel, we believe in great science and fast achievements. Our work is guided by these core principles:\nDo great things: we deliver work we’re proud to sign our name to.\n\nHigh velocity: speed matters. We move quickly, one step at a time.\n\nOne unit: we’re all in this together, with relationships grounded in trust, respect, and camaraderie.\n\nArago is backed by executives from Apple, Arm, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Hugging Face, as well as prominent US and European deeptech venture firms and exited founders.\nWhat you’ll do\nDesign high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs optimized for precision, power, and area, driving Arago’s prototype and product iterations from architecture to silicon validation.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and simulate analog and RF integrated circuits, including critical blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, and bias/reference circuits, with a focus on signal integrity, linearity, and precision.\n\nOptimize circuits for power, area, and performance trade-offs, ensuring designs meet system-level requirements across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.\n\nCollaborate closely with optics, simulation and PCB teams to define architecture and block-level specifications for Arago’s successive prototypes and product iterations, ensuring tight alignment with overall performance and integration goals.\n\nWork with layout engineers to guide floor-planning and physical design, minimizing parasitic effects and preserving analog precision in layout-sensitive blocks.\n\nSupport post-silicon validation and bring-up, defining test plans, analyzing lab measurements, and correlating results with simulation to refine future design iterations.\n\nLanguage: English at a proficient level. French is a plus.\n\nRequired Skills and Experience\nA sound mathematical understanding and deep physical intuition of analog electronics, as well as analog voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage conversion at low and high frequencies.\n\nExperience in designing high-precision analog systems for signal processing or power electronics. Experience working with high-frequency analog signals is valued.\n\nExtensive experience in IC design and post-layout design methodology using standard industry tools like Cadence Virtuoso.\n\nProficiency in designing and optimizing mixed-signal circuits, including DACs and ADCs at low (kHz-MHz) and high (>GHz) frequencies, and signal conditioning circuits, ensuring flawless integration between analog RF components and digital processors.\n\nStrong understanding of signal integrity, crosstalk, and noise reduction techniques in mixed-signal environments, particularly in high-frequency RF systems interfacing with digital processors.\n\nAdvanced node experience required (\n\nPay and benefits\nCompetitive cash compensation, with final package based on location, experience, and the pay of team members in similar positions.\n\nMeaningful stock option plan offered at the earliest stage of the company (included in the majority of full time offers).\n\nRelocation bonus and coverage of moving expenses for relocation within 20 minutes of the company’s location.\n\nHealthcare coverage (including family-friendly options), pension contributions, professional development support, and 25 days of PTO, in addition to public holidays.\n\nOwnership of a key technical domain, with significant vertical and/or horizontal growth opportunities, based on performance and individual drive.\n\nReimbursement of 50% of the public transport subscription fee.\n\nA high-paced, multicultural (with 9 nationalities), and engineering-led environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4135,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:59:09Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T18:37:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.74,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":118,"expected_fill_days":76,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/arago-senior-analog-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/arago-senior-analog-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T06:15:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6357,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173018},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173018"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Farago-senior-analog-design-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Farago-senior-analog-design-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Farago-senior-analog-design-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/arago-senior-analog-design-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Farago-senior-analog-design-engineer"}]}
