TL;DR · R&D Engineer Hardware

JOB TITLE: R&D Engineer Hardware Broadcom is seeking a senior level high speed analog mixed-signal designer to join the team. In this role, you will research and apply cutting edge design and validation for analog mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-speed serial link applications, including fiber optic communication systems, Gigabit Ethernet, enterprise storage, and wireless network routers. You will design, develop, and evaluate electronic parts and integrated circuitry while researching novel techniques to maximize speed and performance while minimizing power and area. Key responsibilities include characterizing and debugging designs for manufacturability, creating circuit models, and developing test plans. Required skills include CMOS device knowledge, analog circuit design for frequencies above 1 GHz, signal processing for filters and converters, and proficiency with simulation tools, custom layout tools, and lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.

What you'll do

  • Design wireline high-speed analog mixed-signal circuitry for data center connectivity applications.
  • Research and apply cutting-edge design and validation for high-speed Serial link applications.
  • Develop novel circuit techniques to maximize speed and performance while minimizing power and area.
  • Design, develop, and evaluate electronic parts and integrated circuitry for hardware systems.
  • Analyze equipment to establish operating data and conduct experimental tests to evaluate results.
  • Characterize and debug analog designs to ensure manufacturability.
  • Create circuit models to define package and PC board requirements.
  • Develop comprehensive circuit test plans for testing and validation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's in Engineering and 5+ years of related experience.
  • Master's degree in Engineering and 3+ years of related experience.
  • Research and apply cutting-edge design and validation for analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-speed Serial link applications.
  • Design, develop, and evaluate electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for hardware systems.
  • Characterize and debug analog designs for manufacturability and create circuit models for package and pc board requirements.
  • Proficiency in analog circuit design, CMOS device characteristics, and common circuit topologies for circuits running at 1 GHz and above.
  • Experience with signal processing in analog filters, ADCs, DACs, and feedback controlled loops.
  • Proficiency with simulation tools, custom layout tools, and common lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills (preferred).
  • Proactive, collaborative, and creative approach to innovation and consensus facilitation (preferred).
  • Excellent time and task management and interpersonal skills (preferred).
