With your strong problem-solving skills and innovative mindset, you are ready to contribute to cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of technology.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Reviewing SerDes standards and architecture documents to develop analog sub-block specifications.
• Identifying and refining circuit implementations to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets.
• Proposing design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure the highest quality design.
• Overseeing physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
• Collaborating with digital RTL engineers on the development of calibration, adaptation, and control algorithms for analog circuits.
• Presenting simulation data for peer and customer review.
• Mentoring and reviewing the progress of junior engineers.
• Documenting design features and test plans.
• Consulting on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SerDes IP product.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enhancing the performance and reliability of high-performance computing systems.
• Driving innovation in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Contributing to the development of cutting-edge SerDes technologies.
• Mentoring and developing the next generation of engineers.
• Improving design methodologies and automation flows to increase efficiency.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality silicon IP products.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor with 5 years' experience or MSEE (or PhD) with 3 years' experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar technical field.
• In-depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design and sound CMOS design fundamentals.
• Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits for the TX, RX, and Clock paths within a SerDes.
• Detailed design experience with several SerDes sub-circuits such as receive equalizers, data samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillators, phase interpolators, delay-locked loops, phase-locked loops, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs.
• Experience optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to minimize the effect of parasitic resistance and capacitance, and to reduce the effects of local device mismatch and proximity effects.
• Awareness of ESD issues and design for reliability.
• Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
• High proficiency with spice simulators including HSPICE, Finesim, and XA.
• Knowledgeable in Verilog-A and/or System-Verilog for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.

Who You Are:

• An innovative and collaborative team player.
• A strong communicator with excellent presentation skills.
• A mentor and leader who can guide and inspire junior engineers.
• A problem solver with a keen eye for detail.
• Adaptable and open to learning new methodologies and technologies.
• Passionate about advancing the field of analog and mixed-signal design.

The Team You’ll Be Part Of:

You will be working with an immensely creative cross-functional team of analog and mixed-signal circuit designers from a wide variety of backgrounds on design and methodology. Together, we drive innovation and excellence in the development of cutting-edge SerDes technologies.
