Responsibilities

  • Work closely with Nokia Bell Labs researchers and business units to identify key technologies for optical sub-systems.
  • Translate ASIC architectures into transistor-level circuit schematics and layouts, including driver/modulator and photodiode/TIA interconnects.
  • Characterize manufactured ICs using high-frequency test & measurement techniques and wireline modulation formats.
  • Collaborate on the assembly and integration of ICs with photonic integrated circuits.
  • Document and present research outcomes to internal and external audiences, including travel to international conferences.
  • Drive research into novel integration techniques and circuit architectures.
  • Push the boundaries of performance and efficiency in high-speed optical networks.
  • Maintain strong interpersonal skills and collaborate effectively with a multi-disciplinary team.


Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Physics (or Master's with 5+ years' experience) is required.
  • Proven track record of successful tape-outs in state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies, preferably SiGe BiCMOS.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills are essential.
  • Experience in designing and characterizing high-speed analog and mixed-signal wireline circuits.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard IC toolchains, such as Cadence Virtuoso & EMX, Keysight ADS, and Ansys HFSS.
  • Hands-on experience with high-frequency test & measurement equipment is a must.
  • Experience with ultra-high signal frequencies (100 GHz+) is desirable.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes, IC packaging, and microelectronics assembly is a plus.
  • Skills in system modeling or digital signal processing for wireline communications are advantageous.
  • Design experience or knowledge of photonic integrated circuit components is preferred.
