Description
We have ownership AMS circuits used in SerDes PHY, including evaluation of different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g., Rx, CDR, Tx, bias generator, clock generation and distribution, etc.)You will be working with multi-functional teams to define requirements/specs (e.g., modeling, package, board, DFT, ESD, etc.), crafting block-level specifications based on link-budget, behavioral modeling, and transistor-level feasibility. You will also drive mask design to implement layout view of designs. We also are working on Generation/QA of various IP Kit views/files for release to IP consumers, defining production/bench-level testplans, and conducting design reviews of blocks with peers/management to show design meets spec targets and requirements.
Minimum Qualifications
- BSEE with 10+ years of proven experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Solid understanding and experience of designing analog mixed signal circuit blocks including Bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits, ADCs, DACs, Oscillators, Filters
- In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques
- Experience with Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits like de-emphasis, CTLE, DFE is a plus
- Experience with high speed digital circuits (e.g., serializer, deserializer, counters, dividers, etc.) is a plus
- Familiarity with CDR architectures and implementations is a plus
- Hands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterization
- Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, SATA, etc.)
- Solid fundamentals on signal processing
- MS or PHD preferred
