OVERVIEW
Our client is a fast-growing semiconductor design company developing cutting-edge connectivity and high-speed interface technologies for next-generation computing and communication systems. The team is composed of industry veterans and innovative engineers who thrive in a collaborative environment focused on advanced analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed circuit solutions.
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a highly skilled High Speed Analog IC Designer with deep technical expertise in high-speed receiver design and advanced CMOS process technologies. The successful candidate will play a key role in the development of next-generation high-speed serial link circuits, contributing to the design, simulation, layout, and validation of complex analog and mixed-signal blocks.
This position offers the opportunity to work on leading-edge products in an innovative environment that values creativity, technical excellence, and teamwork.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and verify high-speed serial-link receiver circuits such as CTLE, CDR, DFE, PLL, and related analog building blocks.
- Perform circuit simulations, transistor-level design, and optimization using deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
- Collaborate with digital, packaging, and signal integrity teams to ensure system-level performance and integration.
- Conduct lab testing and validation of prototype circuits to verify performance against design specifications.
- Analyze link budgets and contribute to system-level architecture decisions for Rx/Tx/PLL integration.
- Participate in design reviews, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration to support product delivery..
QUALIFICATIONS
- Hands-on experience designing high-speed receiver circuits (30G and above).
- Strong background in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
- Practical experience with advanced process nodes (12nm, 6nm, 5nm, 4nm, 3nm, or 2nm).
- Proficiency in analog/mixed-signal simulation tools such as Spectre, SPICE, Matlab, Hsim, and Verilog.
- Strong understanding of high-speed serial-link design fundamentals including equalization, timing recovery, and jitter analysis.
- Lab experience evaluating prototype performance and debugging complex analog systems.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for circuit-level optimization.
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience with PAM4 112G/224G SerDes design.
- Background in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) optimization.
- Knowledge of high-speed packaging design and PCB layout considerations
