TL;DR · Third-Party SerDes PHY Technical Lead

The Third-Party SerDes PHY Technical Lead joins a team of high-speed physical interface and mixed-signal IP specialists. This role serves as the technical owner for third-party SERDES IPs, providing pre-silicon and post-silicon leadership. Key responsibilities include managing design transfers with external vendors, ensuring electrical and logical quality during integration, and supporting IC package and PCB design teams with signal and power integrity analyses. The position involves performing technical evaluations for licensing, first silicon bring-up, debug, ATE production testing, and lab validation. Required expertise includes high-speed I/O architectures like CTLE, FFE, DFE, CDR, and PLL/DLL. Candidates must understand protocols such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and UCIe. Technical skills include FinFET processes, RTL design, Python or Perl scripting, and using oscilloscopes or BERTs for functional validation.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the technical owner for third-party SERDES IPs, providing pre-silicon and post-silicon leadership.
  • Coordinate with third-party vendors to manage design transfers, release collateral, and integrate IP across products.
  • Partner with integration teams to ensure electrical, logical, and physical quality during the integration process.
  • Support package and PCB design teams with signal integrity and power integrity analyses.
  • Perform technical evaluations of new IP for potential licensing.
  • Provide post-silicon support including first silicon bring-up, debug, production testing, and lab validation.
  • Provide feedback and recommendations for future SERDES IP designs based on post-silicon learnings.

What we're looking for

  • Expertise in third-party SERDES IP integration and support for interfaces like PCIe, USB, DisplayPort/HDMI, MIPI, Ethernet, and UCIe.
  • Ability to provide pre-silicon and post-silicon technical leadership for third-party SERDES IPs.
  • Experience with semiconductor engineering focusing on analog/mixed-signal circuit or system design, analysis, validation, testing, characterization, or debug (preferred).
  • Knowledge of high-speed I/O SERDES architectures and related circuit blocks like CTLE, FFE, DFE, VGA, CDR, and PLL/DLL (preferred).
  • Familiarity with advanced FinFET semiconductor process technologies (preferred).
  • Understanding of RTL design, logic design, and digital circuits (preferred).
  • Experience with scripting/automation using Python or Perl and familiarity with UNIX or Linux environments (preferred).
  • Bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline (preferred).
