As a Senior Research Scientist, Circuits, you will join the research team to explore advanced circuit designs that address performance and power challenges in the post-Moore’s Law era. Your daily responsibilities include exploring circuit approaches to optimize processor computation and interconnect performance, designing and implementing these solutions in prototype systems, collaborating with internal product teams and external researchers, and publishing original research at conferences. You will work on critical problems involving high-performance, low-power technologies such as PLLs and clocking, SerDes and high-speed signaling, photonics, SRAMs, power delivery/regulation, security circuits, and high-speed logic. The role focuses on the technical challenge of creating innovative architectural solutions to overcome scaling limitations in hardware. You must possess a PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with expertise in circuit design theory and practice.
