Summary

In this position, you will join a team of expert analog/mixed-signal/digital designers and play a leading technical role as a SerDes Designer and System Architect for low power, high-speed SerDes IPs. You will be involved in the design, verification, and implementation of advanced signal processing algorithms for high speed SerDes. The types of algorithms that will be implemented include adaptive equalizers, digital filters, and different types of analog-circuit-nonideality compensation for both binary and higher-order PAM modulations.

Key Qualifications

  • Master’s degree with 7+ years of experience or Ph.D. with 4+ years of experience is typical
  • Digital signal processing experience and understanding
  • Design and verification experience with complex digital designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog
  • Experience architecting and planning designs at the system level, taking conceptual product definitions and translating to design implementations
  • Knowledge of advanced mixed-signal SerDes transceiver architectures
  • Excellent knowledge in communication theory
  • Excellent knowledge in Matlab/Simulink and SystemVerilog real number modeling
  • Understanding of signal-integrity concepts, electrical channel modeling, clock and data recovery concepts, LMS adaptation algorithms
  • Working knowledge of analog circuit design trade-offs
  • Familiarity with lab measurements and silicon debug
  • Familiarity with C/C++ programming is a plus

Job Description

  • Define block and system level architectures for next generation SerDes PHYs
  • Write block specifications and track execution at circuit-design level
  • Develop and maintain end-to-end Matlab/Simulink system models
  • Develop and run block-level DSP simulation testbenches. Apply this to system-level simulations to evaluate architectural tradeoffs.
  • Use Verilog/SystemVerilog to design digital signal processing blocks
  • Develop algorithms for adaptation and calibration of mixed-signal circuit blocks
  • Communicate effectively with circuit-designers and verification engineers to incorporate circuit nonidealities in system models
  • Work across the digital/analog boundary, including support of mixed-signal simulations and real number modeling
  • Work with technical leads and across multiple disciplines, including design, verification, test, product definition

Minimum Qualifications
Masters of Science plus 7 years of relevant experience or Ph.D. plus 4 years of relevant experience.
