As a Hardware Engineer you will play a key role in designing and optimizing cutting-edge interface buffer chips for DDR/LP5/5X/6 chiplets and beyond in the latest FinFET process nodes. Your expertise in DDR I/Os chip-chip interface I/Os and receiver (RX) design will be pivotal in developing high-performance solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Working with the chip team to understand specifications and identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies.
- Design simulation and optimization of high-speed DDR circuits and chiplet I/Os.
- Design and enhance transmitter and receiver circuits including CTLE VGA DFE and slicers focusing on performance metrics such as sensitivity linearity and power consumption.
- Investigate and develop circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks and lead to revolutionary improvements in power area and performance targets
- Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics and process variation.
- Conduct thorough simulations to validate design performance and reliability. Troubleshoot and implement corrective actions as needed.
- Create clear and detailed design reports.
- Analyze customer silicon data for design enhancement.
- Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies. Suggest and implement innovative solutions to enhance product performance and capabilities.
Qualifications:
- Education: Masters or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering or a related field.
- Experience: At least 10 years of experience in analog design with a focus on high-speed RX and Analog-Front-End design.
- Experience with FinFET technologies.
- Expertise in high-speed DDR I/O interface chip-chip interface design and optimization.
- Strong knowledge of analog receiver circuits such as CTLE DFE FEE.
- Sound knowledge of transmitter circuits such as FIR filter slew rate control voltage and current mode drivers.
- Knowledge of design for reliability ( EM IR aging self-heating ) and layout effects (matching reliability proximity effects etc.)
- Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed logic paths Serializer De-serializer).
- Proficiency with analog design tools (e.g. Cadence Virtuoso Maestro Spectre HSPICE) and simulation techniques.
- Understanding of signal integrity timing analysis and power management.
- Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve complex design challenges
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly convey technical information to stakeholders.
- Teamwork: Ability to work effectively within a cross-functional team and manage multiple priorities
- Familiarity with industry standards and protocols related to DDR I/O chiplet I/O and RX design
