Applied Materials High-Speed Electrical Engineer 

United States, California 

815380689

The High Speed Electrical Engineer is responsible for design and modeling of the electrical signal transfer in high performance computing system. The role requires abundant high speed circuit design and manufacturing experience, deep understanding of high speed signal processes (>50Gbit/s), losses and correction mechanisms but also an understanding about the future roadmap & material choices. Knowledge about the I/O coming off the chip, SerDes/PHY layer and behavior is important.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecting and designing high-speed mixed-signal communication circuits using state-of-the art process technology.

• Simulation, verification, evaluation, debugging and characterization of high-speed communication transceiver chip sets.

• Projects also may include IC layout and silicon characterization, prepare test methods and specifications,

• Assist in preparation of application information, data sheets and demo boards.

• Develop solutions to moderately complex problems through assessment of various techniques and approaches.

• Involved in routine communication with groups inside & outside Applied Materials to solve cutting-edge problems and present information as well as active participation in work groups, providing ideas and helping to achieve teamwork.

Functional Knowledge

• MS/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with 5 to 10 years of experience designing analog/digital circuits.

• Experience on high speed (>50GHz) digital circuits design (e.g.,SerDes, counters, dividers, etc.) with Cu medium and solid substrates. Understanding of the PHY layer & NIC is a benefit

• Knowledge of system level design on co-packaged optics, optical interconnect

• Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, SATA, etc.)

• Knowledge of I/O chip, NIC, GPU, HBM requirement for electric signal processing in data center

• Hands-on experience with analog mixed-signal (AMS) IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterization

• Experience with Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits

• Proficient on coding language like Python, Matlab or C etc.

Business Expertise

• Interprets internal/external business challenges and recommends best practices to improve products, processes or services

Leadership

• May lead functional teams or projects with moderate resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity

Problem Solving

• Leads others to solve complex problems; uses sophisticated analytical thought to exercise judgment and identify innovative solutions

Impact

• Impacts the achievement of customer, operational, project or service objectives; work is guided by functional policies

Interpersonal Skills

• Communicates difficult concepts and negotiates with others to adopt a different point of view
