About this RoleJoin a cutting-edge team at the forefront of silicon photonics and high-speed transceiver design! As a member of the analog team, you'll collaborate with our architects and engineers to develop innovative high-speed analog transceiver solutions for next-generation optical and wireline communication systems.
* We are currently hiring for multiple levels for this role. Your level and compensation will be determined by your experience, education, and location.
Responsibilities- Support micro-architecture development with chip architects by conducting feasibility studies
- Collaborate with members of our design engineering teams (system, digital, analog, photonics) to define electrical requirements
- Design analog/mixed-signal blocks with a focus on transceivers and broadband circuits interfacing with silicon photonics elements
- Document design simulations and verifications towards formal design reviews
- Drive block-level floorplan, mask design views, and their reviews
- Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration
- Define production and bench-level test plans
- Validate performance of the circuits in the lab
Qualifications- MS with 6+ years of industry experience, OR Ph.D. with 3+ years of industry experience
- Experience designing in either GHz-speed RF or GHz-speed broadband analog design
- Experience with Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits
- Familiarity with SERDES architectures and implementations
- Solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, linearity, high-frequency circuit theory and design trade-offs
- Experience with Cadence Design Environment
- Ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas
Preferred Qualifications- Experience designing Analog-Front-End blocks for transceiver circuits such as trans-impedance amplifiers (TIA) and Tx Driver
- Knowledge of 3D Electro-Magnetic (EM) simulation tools is a plus
- Experience with testing and validating high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits
- Experience interfacing with silicon photonic modulators (MZM, Ring) is a plus
- Successful track record in delivering analog/mixed-signal IPs with 1st-time success while meeting tight schedules
