Job Description

We 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). We 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. We work closely with SOC teams to deliver IP views and ensure they meet the quality standards. While developing these complex IPs on regular basis we interact with peers/management to communicate progress discuss new ideas and drive new implementations/concepts making it an exciting and growth-oriented work environment.


  • BSEE with 10 years of proven experience.


  • 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
