Analog Design, Staff Engineer

Job Description

Reviewing SerDes standards to develop analog sub-block specifications. Identifying and refining circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets. Proposing design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure the highest quality design. Overseeing physical layout to minimize the effects of parasitics, device stress, and process variation. Presenting simulation data for peer and customer review. Documenting design features and test plans. Consulting on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SerDes IP product and proposing solutions for post-silicon design updates. The Impact You Will Have: Contributing to the development of high-performance SerDes IP that meets industry standards. Optimizing power, area, and performance of analog circuits, driving efficiency and innovation. Ensuring high-quality designs through meticulous verification strategies and simulator features. Improving the reliability and robustness of integrated circuits through careful layout oversight. Enhancing customer satisfaction by presenting comprehensive simulation data and supporting design reviews. Facilitating post-silicon design updates with your expertise in electrical characterization. What You ll Need: BE+6 years of relevant experience or MTech+4 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. In-depth familiarity with transistor-level circuit design and sound CMOS design fundamentals. Detailed design experience with at least one SerDes sub-circuit and familiarity with several others (e.g., receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCO, phase mixer, DLL, PLL, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC). Aware of ESD issues and circuit techniques. Familiarity with custom digital design and high-speed logic paths. Knowledge of design for reliability (EM, IR, aging, etc.). Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification. Hands-on experience with physical layout of high-speed circuits is a plus. Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods. Proficiency in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control / data-capture. Experience with scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, C, Python, or MATLAB. Who You Are: A highly analytical thinker with a strong attention to detail. A collaborative team player who thrives in a diverse work environment. Excellent communicator with strong documentation skills. A proactive problem-solver who can identify and implement solutions effectively. Adaptable and open to learning new technologies and approaches
