  • Have hands-on experience designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits, including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front-end, TX driver/serializer, low-jitter PLLs, TX/RX calibration, low-jitter clock distribution, or other high-speed analog circuits.
  • Have a deep understanding of biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps, comparators, and other analog circuits.
  • Have a solid track record implementing analog circuits for high-speed data transmission.
  • Have design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes, such as 20 nm or newer.
  • Have solid fundamentals in detailed transistor-level design, feedback/stability analysis, and noise/jitter analysis.
  • Have strong experience in lab chip bring-up and debugging efforts.
  • Have relevant research publications and/or patents in analog or RF IC design.
  • Be familiar with programming or scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C.
  • Have experience with PCB design.
  • Be familiar with Verilog RTL or DSP design concepts.
  • Have knowledge of optical transceivers.
  • Have expertise in ESD protection techniques and IC packaging methodologies.
  • Be able to collaborate with global teams across multiple time zones and deliver under strict deadlines.

Responsibilities

  • Design and verify circuits such as PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs to meet performance targets.
  • Work on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications using industry-standard tools such as Spectre and MATLAB.

Desired Qualifications

  • Have knowledge of TIA design and drivers for optical applications.
  • Have experience in RFIC design for wireless or wireline communication systems.
