TL;DR · High Speed DAC Design Expert

High Speed DAC Design Expert will join the Serdes Technology Group to design high-performance electrical and optical transceivers in advanced CMOS PDKs. This role focuses on owning performance-critical analog mixed-signal circuit blocks, including high-speed data converters like DACs and ADCs, clocking components such as PLLs and mixers, and analog front-end circuits like pad matching networks and linear amplifiers. The candidate will define circuit-driven micro-architectures for Tx and Rx subsystems while managing power, performance, area, and jitter budgets. Key responsibilities include mentoring sub-block owners, conducting peer reviews, and collaborating with verification and validation teams to bring up silicon. The role requires expertise in 200G+ CMOS transceivers and high-speed electrical or optical interface requirements. Candidates should possess a Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field with experience in circuit optimization and productization.

What you'll do

  • Own performance-critical analog mixed-signal circuit blocks including high-speed data converters and clocking circuits.
  • Design and manage analog front-end circuits such as pad matching networks, ESD, and linear amplifiers.
  • Define circuit-driven micro-architectures for Tx and Rx subsystems and establish sub-block level specifications.
  • Manage power, performance, area, and jitter budgets for all analog design blocks.
  • Mentor sub-block owners and conduct peer reviews of design and verification results.
  • Collaborate with verification and validation teams to bring up silicon and analyze post-silicon results.
  • Optimize circuits for power, performance, and area at both the block and system levels.

What we're looking for

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • M.S. with relevant industrial experience in optical and/or electrical transceiver design.
  • Expertise in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and architecture.
  • Strong background in advanced ultra-high-speed electrical and/or optical PHY design.
  • Experience designing 200G+ CMOS transceivers with a deep understanding of high-speed interface requirements (preferred).
  • Proficiency in hands-on circuit optimizations for power, performance, and area at block and system levels (preferred).
  • Proven track record in silicon productization from initial design through to bring-up, validation, and mass production (preferred).
