Analog IC Design Engineer, Tech Lead

About the role

Join a cutting-edge team at the forefront of silicon photonics and high-speed transceiver design! As a member of the analog team, you’ll collaborate with our architects and engineers to develop innovative high-speed analog transceiver solutions for next-generation optical and wireline communication systems.

Responsibilities

• Design high-performance and high-speed AMS circuits with a focus on transceivers and broadband circuits interfacing with silicon photonics elements
• Investigate and evaluate new Analog & Mixed-Signal circuit topologies with chip architects
• Lead the discussions with multi-functional teams (system, digital, analog, photonics) to create and drive block-level specifications, mixed-signal implementations, and behavioral modeling
• Document design simulations and verifications towards formal design reviews
• Drive block-level floorplan, mask design views, and their reviews
• Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration
• Define production and bench-level test plans
• Validate performances of the circuits in the lab
• Mentor junior design engineers

Qualifications

• MS with 12+ years of industry experience, OR Ph.D with 10+ years of industry experience designing in either GHz-speed RF or GHz-speed broadband analog design
• Experience designing Analog-Front-End blocks for SerDes
• Experience and deep understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits
• Excellent understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, linearity, high-frequency circuit theory and design trade-offs
• Proven experience working with system and architecture teams to drive block-level and IP requirements
• Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g., SystemVerilog, Matlab, Python, VerilogAMS)
• Experience with 3D Electro-Magnetic (EM) simulation tools
• Prior experience in leading or mentoring junior design engineers
• Ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing Analog-Front-End blocks for transceiver circuits such as trans-impedance amplifiers (TIA) and Tx Driver
• Experience interfacing with silicon photonic modulators (MZM, Ring)
• Hands-on design experience in advanced CMOS technologies, such as FinFET
• Successful track record in delivering analog/mixed-signal IPs with 1st-time success while meeting tight schedules
