TL;DR · R&D Engineer Hardware

As an R&D Engineer Hardware, you will join the team as a senior level high speed analog mixed-signal designer focusing on data center connectivity applications. You will design wireline high-speed analog mixed-signal circuitry and research novel circuit techniques to maximize speed and performance while minimizing power and area requirements. Your daily responsibilities include designing, developing, modifying, and evaluating electronic parts and integrated circuitry for hardware systems, as well as characterizing and debugging designs for manufacturability. You will create circuit models, develop test plans, and analyze equipment to establish operating data. The role requires expertise in CMOS device characteristics, common circuit topologies for frequencies above 1 GHz, signal processing in filters, and converters. Required tools and skills include simulation tools, custom layout tools, and lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers to solve complex broadband communication SoC challenges.

What you'll do

  • Design wireline high-speed analog mixed-signal circuitry for data center connectivity applications.
  • Research and apply cutting-edge design techniques for high-speed serial link applications like fiber optics and Gigabit Ethernet.
  • Develop novel circuit techniques to maximize speed and performance while minimizing power and area requirements.
  • Create, modify, and evaluate electronic components and integrated circuitry for hardware systems.
  • Characterize and debug analog designs specifically for manufacturability.
  • Create circuit models to define package and printed circuit board requirements.
  • Develop comprehensive circuit test plans for testing and evaluation.
  • Analyze complex data and variable factors to determine optimal design approaches and parameters.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 5+ years of related experience.
  • Master's degree in Engineering and 3+ years of related experience.
  • Experience designing wireline high-speed analog mixed-signal circuitry for data center connectivity applications.
  • Expertise in circuit design, CMOS device characteristics, and common topologies for circuits running at 1 GHz and above.
  • Proficiency in signal processing for analog filters, ADCs, DACs, and feedback controlled loops.
  • Experience with simulation tools, custom layout tools, and lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
  • Ability to characterize and debug analog designs for manufacturability and create circuit models for package/PCB requirements.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to interact with both technical and management levels.
