You excel at mentoring peers, sharing knowledge, and advocating for design excellence. Your strong analytical skills allow you to quickly identify architectural bottlenecks and propose effective solutions. You are detail-oriented, balancing deep technical focus with a strategic view of project goals and timelines. Communication is one of your strengths—whether presenting simulation data, documenting design features, or collaborating across multidisciplinary teams, you articulate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Beyond your technical expertise, you are committed to continuous learning and growth, staying abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies. You value diversity and inclusion, recognizing that great ideas come from a variety of perspectives. Your proactive and adaptable approach ensures you thrive in dynamic, innovative environments where your contributions drive meaningful impact.

What You’ll Be Doing:

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

• Investigating and architecting circuit solutions that address performance bottlenecks, enabling significant improvements in power, area, and speed.

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

• Overseeing and guiding the physical layout to minimize parasitics, device stress, and process variations, ensuring robust silicon performance.

• Presenting and reviewing simulation data with internal teams and external stakeholders, including industry panels and customer reviews.

• Documenting design features, test plans, and results, and consulting on electrical characterization and post-silicon analysis for product enhancements.

• Analyzing customer silicon data to identify design improvement opportunities and proposing solutions for post-silicon updates.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Drive innovation in high-speed analog/mixed-signal design, enabling next-generation connectivity solutions.

• Shape the architectural direction of SERDES IP, influencing industry standards and future product offerings.
