Requirements
  • BSEE with 0+ years of proven experience. Masters Preferred
Responsibilities
  • Work on the development of high-performance and high-speed AMS circuits used in SerDes PHY, including evaluation of different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g., Rx, CDR, Tx, bias generator, high-speed clock generation and low-jitter distribution, phase interpolator, DLL, VCO, LDO) with best in class power, performance, and area (PPA).
  • Lead discussions with multi-functional teams (e.g., architecture, SIPI, packaging, board design, DFT, ESD) to create and drive block-level specifications, mixed-signal implementations and behavioral modeling.
  • Work closely with SOC teams to deliver IP views and ensure they meet the quality standards.
  • Interact with peers/management to communicate progress, discuss new ideas and drive new implementations/concepts.
Desired Qualifications
  • The ideal candidate should have deep understanding of AMS design with experience in high-speed serial links.
  • Solid understanding of designing AMS circuit blocks including Bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits, ADCs, DACs, Oscillators, Filters.
  • Understanding of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques.
  • Deep understanding and experience with digitally assisted analog design concepts (e.g. background calibrations, LMS based adaptive loops).
  • Proven experience working on system and architecture teams to drive block-level and IP requirements.
  • Proven track record working with large teams and guiding junior engineers.
  • Experience with high speed digital circuits (e.g., serializer, deserializer, counters, dividers, etc.) with solid understanding of digital design concepts.
  • Experience and proven understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits (e.g. CTLE, DFE, de-emphasis) for 20+ Gbps NRZ and PAM applications.
  • Experience with EQ adaptation methods and circuit interactions to improve PPA.
  • Solid understanding of CDR architectures and implementations.
  • Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g. SystemVerilog, Matlab, Python, VerilogAMS).
  • Hands-on experience to drive lab testing, debug and data analysis.
  • Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS technologies, design with FinFet technology.
  • Hands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterization.
  • EXPERIENCE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS IS A PLUS: Concepts of timing closure and related industry tools (e.g., Nanotime, Primetime).
  • Concepts of IP delivery and quality checks.
  • Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, DP, MPHY) is helpful.
  • Skills in scripting and automation to improve efficiency are highly desirable.
