$200,000 – $350,000 Bonus Equity
Hybrid - Bay Area or LA
Senior, Principal and Team Lead
A fast-growing interconnect team is hiring an experienced analog/mixed-signal engineer to help develop next-generation electrical and optical transceivers for AI, cloud, and high-performance computing.
You’ll work on 100G/lane PAM4 SerDes and silicon photonics-based transceivers, bridging electrical IC and photonic IC design.
What you’ll do
- Design high-speed analog/mixed-signal blocks (drivers, TIAs, PLLs, CDRs, ADC/DACs)
- Work on electro-optic systems and co-simulation with photonic devices (MRM, MZM, EAM, PD)
- Define EIC/PIC partitioning and high-speed link budgets
- Collaborate on packaging, SI/PI, DSP partitioning, and system integration
- Support silicon bring-up, debug, and production ramp
What we’re looking for
- MS/PhD in EE, Physics, or related field
- Strong high-speed analog CMOS design background
- Familiarity with SerDes or optical transceivers
- Exposure to silicon photonics (preferred)
- Experience with Cadence MATLAB/Python
- Understanding of optical link metrics (BER, TDECQ, OMA, etc.)
Nice to have
- Verilog-A / photonic modelling experience
- Lumerical tools exposure
- CPO / advanced optical packaging experience
- Lab bring-up of high-speed or electro-optic silicon
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary range: $200,000 – $350,000.
- Eligibility for performance-based bonuses and short- and long-term incentive programs.
- Competitive benefits package including health, life, and disability insurance, PTO, parental leave, and additional employee benefits.
