As an Analog/mixed-signal IC Design Engineer on the Team Acacia, you will join a dynamic group developing high speed, high accuracy analog designs for optical communications products. You will design, layout, measure, and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products while leading efforts for blocks on complex chips from conception to production. Your daily work involves collaborating with RF, digital, system, package, and module design teams to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met. The role requires expertise in high speed serial links, output drivers, phase locked loops, clock transmission, opamps, and equalization techniques. You will utilize tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Specture/APS/SpectreX, EMX, and Matlab. This position addresses technical challenges in the fiber optic transmission market for data center, metro, long-haul, and ultra-long haul telecommunication networks involving 100G to 1.6T+ bit speeds.
Design, layout, measure, and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products for optical communications.
Develop high-speed (over 25Gb/s) and high-accuracy analog designs for fiber optic transmission markets.
Lead efforts for specific blocks on complex chips while tracking project deliverables.
Provide solid design methodology from the initial conception phase through to production.
Participate in peer reviews of complex integrated circuit designs.
Coordinate with packaging and hardware teams to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met.
Perform high-frequency layout including floorplanning for power, ground, and signal routing.
Conduct laboratory validation including ESD practices and the construction of test setups.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree plus 6 years of experience, Master's plus 4 years, or PhD plus 1 year of related experience.
Experience in design, simulation, and measurement of high speed ICs in at least two specified areas (e.g., Serial Links, Output Drivers, PLLs, Clock Transmission, Opamps, or Equalization).
Experience with electrical transceiver applications including backplane and cable communications (preferred).
Experience in FinFET and GAA technologies (preferred).
High-frequency layout experience including floorplanning, passive components, and transmission lines (preferred).
Experience in design for manufacturability including PVT characterization, electromigration, self-heating, and IR drop analysis (preferred).
Experience in laboratory validation including ESD practices and test setup construction (preferred).
Proficiency in design software including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/APS/SpectreX, Calibre, EMX, AMS, and Matlab (preferred).
