THE ROLE:

AMD Serdes Technology Group develops high-performance electrical and optical transceivers in advanced CMOS PDKs. We are seeking an expert in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and architecture.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in advanced ultra-high-speed electrical and/or optical PHY design.  She/He needs to be a self-starter who collaborates well with various functional teams and customers to successfully drive projects to completion.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• To own performance-critical analog mixed-signal circuit blocks used in Serdes, such as high-speed data converters (DAC and ADC), clocking (reference clock, PLL, clock dividers, mixers, buffers, regulators, multi-phase clock generators, error detection and correction), and analog front-end circuits (pad matching networks, ESD, CTLE, linear amplifier)
• To define circuit-driven micro-architectures of Tx and Rx subsystems and drive sub-block level specs.
• To own power, performance, area, and jitter budgets of analog design blocks
• To mentor sub-block owners and conduct peer reviews of design and verification results
• To work with pre-tapeout verification and post-silicon validation teams to bring up silicon and analyze silicon results

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience designing 200G+ CMOS transceivers, with a deep understanding of high-speed electrical and/or optical interface requirements.
• Demonstrated proficiency in hands-on circuit optimizations, including tuning for power, performance, and area at both block and system levels.
• Proven track record in silicon productization—from initial design through to bring-up, validation, and successful ramp to mass production.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field or M.S. with relevant industrial experience in optical and/or electrical transceiver design.

LOCATION: San Jose, CA
