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.
Responsibilities- Design high-performance and high-speed AMS circuits with a focus on transceivers and broadband circuits interfacing with silicon photonics elements
- Investigate and evaluate new Analog & Mixed-Signal circuit topologies with chip architects
- Lead the discussions with multi-functional teams (system, digital, analog, photonics) to create and drive block-level specifications, mixed-signal implementations, and behavioral modeling
- 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 performances of the circuits in the lab
- Mentor junior design engineers
Qualifications- MS with 12+ years of industry experience, OR Ph.D with 10+ years of industry experiencedesigning in either GHz-speed RF or GHz-speed broadband analog design
- Experience designing Analog-Front-End blocks for SerDes
- Experience and deep understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits
- Excellent understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, linearity, high-frequency circuit theory and design trade-offs
- Proven experience working with system and architecture teams to drive block-level and IP requirements
- Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g., SystemVerilog, Matlab, Python, VerilogAMS)
- Experience with 3D Electro-Magnetic (EM) simulation tools
- Prior experience in leading or mentoring junior design engineers
- 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
- Experience interfacing with silicon photonic modulators (MZM, Ring)
- Hands-on design experience in advanced CMOS technologies, such as FinFET
- Successful track record in delivering analog/mixed-signal IPs with 1st-time success while meeting tight schedules
