TL;DR · High Speed IO Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

High Speed IO Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer will join the analog/mixed signal IP design team to develop next-generation IOs, high-speed memory including LPDDRx, gDDRx, and HBMx, and die-to-die Gbps proprietary PHY IP solutions. The role involves designing SerDes AMS circuit architectures, translating system-level specifications into block-level requirements, and authoring technical specifications for pre-silicon verification and post-silicon characterization. Key responsibilities include designing components like DLLs, phase interpolators, low jitter clock distribution, bandgap circuits, LDO regulators, and amplifiers. The candidate must possess expertise in multi-Gbps serial interfaces such as PCIe and USB, along with knowledge of FinFET advanced CMOS process nodes like 16nm, 7nm, and 3nm. Required skills include proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or HSPICE tools to address high-speed IO signaling topologies, link budget analysis, and power, area, and performance trade-offs.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop high-speed IO, SerDes, and memory interface PHY IP solutions.
  • Translate system-level specifications into detailed analog mixed-signal (AMS) block and circuit specifications.
  • Author technical specifications for AMS blocks, pre-silicon verification, and post-silicon characterization plans.
  • Design and architect specific circuits including PLLs, DLLs, LDO regulators, and clock distribution networks.
  • Perform link budget analysis and evaluate jitter, SNR metrics, and power/area/performance trade-offs.
  • Execute low-power design techniques for high-speed digital circuits using advanced FinFET CMOS process nodes.
  • Utilize Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre tools to perform circuit simulations and schematic captures.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of AMS designs from initial architecture through successful production.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in high-speed IO/SerDes AMS circuit architecture and design.
  • Ability to translate system-level specifications into AMS block and circuit-level specifications.
  • Proficiency in authoring technical specifications for AMS blocks, pre-silicon verification, and post-silicon characterization.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-Gbps serial, parallel high-bandwidth memory interfaces, and chip-to-chip links (preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of mixed-signal circuit architecture including PLL/DLL, clocking, mismatch mitigation, and low-power techniques (preferred).
  • Experience in FinFET advanced CMOS process nodes such as 16nm, 7nm, or 3nm (preferred).
  • Proficiency in AMS design flows and tools like Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or HSPICE (preferred).
