Design Architect Analog IC Designer

About the Role

The Design Architect Analog IC Designer is responsible for the design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications. The role contributes to the design of long-reach SerDes.

Requirements

• Minimum of 10 years of experience in the development of CMOS SerDes or high-speed I/O ICs
• Thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques
• Proficient design experience in most of the following SerDes circuit blocks: Driver, Receiver, Serializer, Deserializer, Phase Interpolator, Low jitter PLL, High Speed Clock Distribution, ADC and DAC, Bias and Bandgap, and Voltage Regulators
• Excellent problem-solving skills, good communication skills, and ability to work cooperatively in a team environment
• Working knowledge of a set of common SerDes standards and their electrical requirements (a plus)
• Proficiency in using CAD tools for circuit simulation and post-layout verification
• Proficiency with layout entry (a plus)
• Cadence tool experience, lab test experience, and design experience at ≥16Gbps and in ≤16nm technologies
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering
