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. We are actively seeking a Characterization Engineer for our lab in Switzerland (Lausanne) Responsibility Lead end-to-end characterization of high-speed SerDes operating at symbol rates above 20 Gbaud Perform jitter, eye-diagram, BER, and margin measurements across PVT Characterize full transmitter and receiver electrical parameters Perform S-parameter, TDR and insertion loss measurements Collaborate with IP architects, digital and analog design teams Documentation of test results and procedures Write and architect test scripts for automation in Python Required Experience Proven experience characterizing silicon devices over PVT. Proven experience using lab equipment, such as: high-speed oscilloscopes, VNAs, and Spectrum Analyzers. Experience defining test plans and test procedures Experience with Python, or other object-oriented programming for test automation, data analysis and report generation Experience with PAM modulation or multi-tonal modulation schemes is a plus Experience in SerDes characterization is a plus At least 5 years of relevant work experience Required Competencies Self-motivated, with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility Good communicator and team player, with experience working in cross-functional teams Strong interest in characterizing high-speed analog circuits Solid understanding or ability to learn SI concepts, modulation schemes, TX and RX fundamentals Experience with Python or other object-oriented languages Experience using high-speed oscilloscopes, VNAs, and Spectrum Analyzers Ability to multitask in a high energy environment Schematic entry or PCB design is a plus Required Education Bachelor´s or Master´s degree in EE, CE, or equivalent work experience Profiles submitted by third-party recruitment agencies will not be taken into consideration.
