The 2027 PhD Analog/Mixed-Signal SerDes Design Intern/Co-op joins a world-class team to develop high-speed communication and optical interconnect technologies. In this role, the individual will define circuit architectures optimized for high-bandwidth electrical and optical links while performing link-level simulations to validate proposed designs. Daily responsibilities include modeling on-die RF passive components like inductors and capacitors, as well as designing key building blocks such as DACs, SAR-ADCs, sample-and-hold circuits, analog front ends, PLLs, reference generation circuits, and clock distribution networks in advanced FinFET technologies. The candidate will work with MATLAB, SPICE, and industry-standard CAD tools to address complex technical challenges in wireline and optical transceiver systems. This position focuses on the specific engineering problems of high-speed SerDes architectures and silicon-photonics transceivers within the broader high-speed communication infrastructure.
