SerDes Architect and Design Engineer
Irvine, CA - USA
Job Summary
SerDes Architect and Design Engineer
Responsibilities:
Correlate silicon measurements with simulated data and lead performance optimization in the system environment
Define architecture specifications and circuit topologies for next-generation SerDes
Design high-performance analog/mixed-signal circuits in advanced node technologies
Develop and overview the design of critical blocks including RX/TX equalization (CTLE DFE) High-speed PLLs Phase interpolators DLLs TDCs
Implement digitally assisted analog circuits background calibration and adaptive loops to improve Power Performance Area
Lead lab validation debugging and characterization of SerDes IPs within our state-of-the-art lab
Oversee physical layout to minimize parasitics device stress electromigration and process variation impacts
Overview development of system-level modelling with behavioral models (e.g. MATLAB SystemVerilog Verilog-A) to analyze link budgets equalization strategies and jitter budgeting
Overview of the analysis of Signal Integrity and Power Integrity to achieve system-defined targets
Required Skills & Experience:
Masters degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields with 10 years of relevant experience in SerDes design
Experience in lab bring-up characterization and debugging designs that reach out production
Must have extensive experience with advanced node technologies (16nm/12nm 7nm 5nm 3nm 2nm processes)
Prior experience in cross-functional interaction to deliver IP and ensuring seamless integration in SOCs
Proven record of taking high-speed SerDes design to tape-out and volume production
Strong communication and documentation skills
