***VetRamp, in support of Providence Partners, is engaged on the following endeavor***

Build the Next Generation of High-Speed Compute

Providence Partners has been retained as the exclusive Austin based recruiting partner for a stealth-mode technology company that just closed over $100 million in Series C funding. This organization is quietly assembling a world-class ASIC design team in Austin, TX to drive a breakthrough in high-speed optical compute.

This is not incremental chip design. The work underway is unlike anything in the marketplace today—developing custom ASICs that blend digital, analog, and optical domains at the bleeding edge of performance.

Why Engineers Choose to Join?

>Ground-Floor Impact – Be among the first engineers in a new U.S.-based design center, shaping not just the chips but the team, culture, and technical direction.

>Well-Funded & Ambitious – With $100M+ secured, leadership is scaling aggressively to meet timelines for prototype test chips and a full tape-out in under 12 months.

Cutting-Edge Work –

• Digital dies at 12–16nm, incorporating frame-buffer architectures and 25Gbps SerDes.
• Analog backplanes at 40nm to deliver zero-to-five-volt modulation for custom 2D optical drivers.
• Pipeline chips integrating 32GHz ADCs, DACs, and TIAs—bridging light ↔ electronics ↔ light in real time.

>Invent, Don’t Iterate – No off-the-shelf solutions exist for what’s needed. Every design choice—partitioning, architecture, bring-up—relies on the creativity and expertise of the engineering team.

>Culture of Speed – Engineers will see their designs move from simulation → MPW test chips → prototypes on bench within months, not years. The company is set up to move fast and reward innovation.

>Top-of-Market Pay & Perks – Compensation is designed to pull talent out of Tier 1 players. Benefits include relocation, bonuses for living close to site, and onboarding in London to immerse in the engineering culture.

This environment is perfect for engineers who want to:

• Push beyond conventional chip design and solve never-before-seen challenges.
• Own meaningful blocks and systems in their entirety, from concept through tape-out.
• Be hands-on in bring-up, validation, and prototype integration.
• Join a small, elite team where your expertise sets the standard.
