As a Silicon Design and Validation Engineer, you will perform the design, verification, and validation of analog and mixed-signal high-speed building blocks to launch ASIC products for data center networking. Your daily responsibilities involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop components such as Trans-Impedance Amplifiers, PLLs, VCOs, clocking circuitry, and data converters. You will conduct bench test debug, characterization of control loops like LDOs, and perform signal and power integrity measurements for high-speed designs. The role requires proficiency in Matlab or Python, along with experience using DCO, real-time scopes, and network analyzers. You must possess deep knowledge of optical and electrical high-speed I/O architectures, IEEE standards, and foundry PDK integration. This position addresses critical technical challenges in data converter, SerDes, and optical I/O technologies within the data center networking domain.
Design, verify, and validate analog and mixed-signal high-speed building blocks for data center networking.
Perform bench test debug and validation of clock generation, timing IPs, and SerDes components.
Characterize various control loops including PLLs, LDOs, and other critical circuitry.
Conduct signal integrity and power integrity measurements to correlate results and debug high-speed designs.
Develop test scripts and reports using Matlab or Python for design validation.
Identify design bugs and recommend technical workarounds to ensure product success.
Utilize measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers for hardware characterization.
What we're looking for
M.Sc. or PhD. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
6+ years of experience in analog and mixed signal IP design, verification, and validation for high-speed data converters, SerDes, and data center networking.
Experience with design, validation, and verification of analog front-end circuits, TIAs, PLLs, VCOs, and clocking circuitry.
Knowledge of development methodologies, design flows including EDA integration, and foundry PDK collateral.
Experience with bench test debug and validation of clock generation, data converters, TIAs, modulator drivers, CDR, and SerDes.
Deep understanding of signal integrity and power integrity for high-speed designs, including PI and SI measurements.
Ability to work with Matlab or Python.
Experience with measurement equipment such as DCO, oversampling/real time scopes, and network analyzers.
