Nokia High Speed Serial Interfaces Integration Lead 

Belgium 

128729078

Your responsibilities:

• You will build up expertise for the different high-speed interfaces for both SERDES and DDR as well as the interface standards (eg. ETH, PON, PCIe,…)
• You will conduct upstream assessment of new 3rd party IPs (example SERDES) which are candidate for integration in our SoCs/HW product. You will perform testing and characterization using evaluation boards.
• You will be the main interface towards 3rd party suppliers for our SERDES and DDR IP and you will drive the interaction with them regarding detailed specification, test results, characterization results and issue tracking when needed.
• You will build out a test framework for high-speed interface testing and drive to have test plans in place for both functional testing as well as characterization testing.
• You will collaborate on front-end RTL integration and simulation of the selected IPs with the rest of the System-On-Chip (SoC) team when needed.
• You will collaborate with the rest of the Hardware design team (PCB) on the package definition, ball map assignment, layout and signal integrity simulations for the high speed serial interfaces when needed.
• You will collaborate with our Optical Module development team on critical high speed interfaces between our ASICs and optical transceivers and how the most optimal solutions can be defined, architected, designed and tested.
• You will collaborate with the SoC team and HW/SW teams on integration testing of the interfaces to bring the overall product (SoC/HW/SW) up to product release quality.
• You will follow up with maintenance and customer account teams on any potential issue observed in the field (world-wide customer base) in the area of the physical layer to investigate root-causes or provide fixes (SW or HW) or workarounds where needed.
• You will further build out a small cross-functional team of high-speed serial interfaces experts to make sure that there is sufficient coverage for all domains as mentioned here above

Your skills and experience:

• You hold a Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical engineering
• You have a broad interest in the telecom sector.
• 10+ years of experience in hardware engineering (HW/IP/ASIC) is preferred.
• Experience with SerDes and/or DDR characterization testing
• Experience with high-speed digital design
• Experience with high-speed analog SERDES design is a plus
• Experience with Python, (System)Verilog, C/C++ is preferred.
• Experience with schematic entry and PCB layout tools is a plus.
• Experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
• Experience with technical 3rd party communication
• Good communication skills and a strong independent thinker
• Good planning and reporting skills
• Willingness to work in world-wide R&D team context.
• Agility in learning is key.
