About the job
Design and validate high-speed analog/mixed-signal transceiver circuits for optical and wireline communication systems, including interfaces to silicon photonics.
What you'll do
- Develop micro-architecture feasibility studies and collaborate on electrical requirements.
- Design analog/mixed-signal transceiver and broadband circuits; document simulations and verification for design reviews.
- Run integration simulations, drive floorplan and mask-view reviews, define test plans, and validate circuits in the lab.
What they ask for
- Experience designing GHz-speed RF or broadband analog circuits.
- Experience with Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits; familiarity with SERDES architectures and implementations.
- Solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs.
- Experience with Cadence Design Environment and ability to collaborate across functional areas.
Nice to have
- Experience designing transceiver Analog-Front-End blocks such as TIAs and Tx Drivers; testing and validating high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits; or interfacing with silicon photonic modulators.
- Knowledge of 3D Electro-Magnetic (EM) simulation tools or a record of delivering analog/mixed-signal IPs successfully on tight schedules.
