Job Description

You will 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) with best in class power performance and area (PPA). You will work with cross-functional teams (e.g. architecture SIPI packaging board design DFT ESD) to create block-level specifications and execute on transistor-level implementation and behavioral modeling. You will drive mask design to implement layout view of designs. You will closely work with SOC teams to deliver IP views and make sure they meet the quality standards. While developing these complex IPs on regular basis you will interact with your peers/management to communicate progress and discuss new ideas making it a lively and interactive work environment.


  • BSEE with 3 years of proven experience.


  • The ideal candidate should have deep understanding of analog mixed-signal design with experience in high-speed serial links.
  • Solid understanding and experience of designing analog mixed signal circuit blocks including Bandgap biasing circuits LDO regulators amplifiers comparators switched-cap circuits ADCs DACs Oscillators Filters
  • Solid understanding of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation linearity stability low-power and low-noise techniques
  • Good grasp and understanding of digitally assisted analog design concepts (e.g. background calibrations LMS based adaptive loops)
  • Experience with high speed digital circuits (e.g. serializer deserializer counters dividers etc.) with solid understanding of digital design concepts
  • Knowledge of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits (e.g. CTLE DFE de-emphasis) for 20 Gbps NRZ and PAM applications
  • Knowledge of CDR architectures and implementations
  • Knowledge of lab equipments and testing
  • Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g. SystemVerilog Matlab Python VerilogAMS)
  • 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)
  • Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial I/O debug and data analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g. PCIe USB DP MPHY)
  • Skills in scripting and automation to enhance efficiency are highly desirable
