TL;DR · Digital Signal Processing and System Validation Engineer

As a Digital Signal Processing and System Validation Engineer, you will join the team to design digital signal processing blocks for next-generation optical data center connectivity products. Your daily responsibilities involve validating ASIC architecture both pre-silicon and post-silicon while translating CDR and equalization architectures into Verilog code for logic synthesis. You will work on high-speed DSP applications and algorithms, specifically focusing on ADC, FFE, DFE, and CDR adaptation for PAM4 signals. The role requires proficiency in Matlab, Simulink, and Verilog-HDL/System Verilog coding, alongside experience with front-end tools like NCVerilog, NCSIM, Simvision, and Spyglass. You will address technical challenges involving signal integrity, power integrity modeling, and logic optimization for low power and timing margins within the context of high-speed optical and electrical interconnect architectures for data center networking.

What you'll do

  • Design digital signal processing blocks for next-generation optical data center connectivity products.
  • Validate ASIC architecture during both pre-silicon and post-silicon stages.
  • Translate CDR and equalization architectures into Verilog code for logic synthesis.
  • Implement high-speed DSP algorithms including FFE, DFE, and CDR adaptation for PAM4 signals.
  • Perform signal integrity and power integrity modeling for high-speed designs.
  • Optimize logic for low power consumption, timing margins, and design-for-test (DFT) requirements.
  • Conduct synthesis, clock domain crossing (CDC), and static timing analysis.
  • Execute Verilog-HDL/SystemVerilog coding and simulations using tools like Matlab, Simulink, and NCVerilog.

What we're looking for

  • MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with 10+ years experience, or a PhD with 7+ years of experience.
  • Experience in digital signal processing design for SerDes and serial link high-speed data center networking.
  • Experience in post silicon validation of digital and analog mixed-signal IPs.
  • Deep understanding of ADC and analog based optical and electrical interconnect architectures like PAM4 and NRZ.
  • Experience translating CDR and equalization architectures into Verilog code for logic synthesis.
  • Proficiency with Matlab, Simulink, and Verilog-HDL/System Verilog coding.
  • Experience with front end tools such as NCVerilog, NCSIM, Simvision, and Spyglass.
  • Exposure to Design for test (DFT), scan concepts, synthesis, CDC, and static timing analysis.
