Opening. This role is responsible for driving innovation in high-speed analog/mixed-signal design, enabling next-generation connectivity solutions. The successful candidate will be a seasoned analog design professional with a passion for pushing technology boundaries.

What you'll do

Review SerDes standards to develop novel transceiver architectures and detailed sub-block specifications.

Investigate and architect circuit solutions that address performance bottlenecks, enabling significant improvements in power, area, and speed.

Collaborate with cross-functional analog and digital design teams to streamline design and verification processes for optimal efficiency and quality.

Oversee and guide the physical layout to minimize parasitics, device stress, and process variations, ensuring robust silicon performance.

Present and review simulation data with internal teams and external stakeholders, including industry panels and customer reviews.

Document design features, test plans, and results, and consult on electrical characterization and post-silicon analysis for product enhancements.

Analyze customer silicon data to identify design improvement opportunities and propose solutions for post-silicon updates.

What you need

MTech/MS with 7+ years or BTech/BS with 8+ years of practical analog IC design experience in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or related field).

Proven expertise with FinFET technologies and CMOS tape-outs.

Deep understanding of Multi-Gbps high-speed designs (PAM4, NRZ) and SERDES architectures.

Extensive design experience with SERDES sub-circuits (e.g., TX, RX, adaptive equalizers, PLL, DLL, BGR, regulators, oscillators, ADC/DAC).

Skilled in analog/digital co-design, calibration, adaptation, and timing handoff for optimized circuit performance.

Familiarity with ESD protection, custom digital design, and design for reliability (EM, IR, aging, self-heating).

Proficient with schematic entry, physical layout, design verification tools, and SPICE simulators.

Experience with scripting languages (TCL, PERL, MATLAB) for post-processing simulation results.

Understanding of system-level budgeting (jitter, amplitude, noise) and signal integrity (packaging, parasitics, crosstalk).

Excellent communication and documentation skills.
