AI-powered analog IC design automation and custom ASIC services
Move Silicon builds AI software (Spaceman) that automates analog circuit sizing and layout, paired with full-stack custom ASIC design services. The tech stack is pure semiconductor EDA—Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Synopsys tools, SystemVerilog, and SPICE simulators—with Python and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Slurm) backing the AI layer. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (13 roles, mostly mid-level) focused on analog block layout and Spaceman platform development signals an org scaling to handle increased design workload automation.
Move Silicon is the technology division of MOVE S.p.A., founded in 2021 and based in Lucca, Italy. The company serves semiconductor design teams and ASIC customers across Europe and North America with two core offerings: Spaceman, an AI-driven software platform that reduces analog circuit sizing from hours to minutes while maintaining simulator-level accuracy; and full-service custom silicon delivery, including standalone IP blocks like low-dropout regulators, power converters, references, and oscillators. Active projects span transistor-level layout automation, deep-submicron analog design, and MEMS sensor front-end modeling. The 51–200-person team operates with tight focus on reducing design cycle time and automating verification workflows in analog-intensive applications.
Spaceman is Move Silicon's AI platform that automates analog block sizing and layout. It delivers simulator-level results in minutes instead of hours, supports PDK porting and pre-sizing, and integrates with existing IPs and design stacks to free engineers for architecture-level work.
Core tools include Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Assura, and Innovus; Synopsys VCS, VC Formal, and Tempus; Mentors Questa and Calibre; and open standards like SystemVerilog, UVM, and SPICE. Python and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Slurm) power backend automation.
