Job Level
About the role
- Evaluate and Develop Architectures: Create and specify individual circuit blocks. Perform system-level analysis to develop optimal system implementations.
- Circuit Ownership: Oversee analog and mixed-signal circuits used in automotive SerDes products throughout the product development cycle.
- Design and Verification: Conduct detailed circuit design, simulations, and verification of high-performance SerDes and auxiliary circuits, including Rx equalizers, DFEs, CDR, Tx drivers, clock generation (VCO, PLL, dividers, etc.), and bias circuitry.
- Technical Leadership: Provide technical leadership for complex SerDes products.
- Layout Supervision: Supervise layout and conduct post-layout simulations.
- Documentation and Reviews: Prepare documentation and conduct design reviews.
- Lab Evaluation and Debug: Perform lab evaluation and debug.
- Cross-Functional Interaction: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and specifications. Assist in production test development.
Requirements
- MSEE or Equivalent: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 10+ years of relevant experience.
- Advanced Knowledge: Expertise in high-speed SerDes circuits, including Rx equalizers, DFEs, CDR, Tx drivers, clock generation (VCO, PLL, dividers, etc.), and bias circuitry.
- Communication Skills: Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills, with team working experience and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
- Proven Track Record: Demonstrated success in designing, leading, and introducing products to the market.
- Technical Leadership: Ability to provide technical leadership across a wide range of engineering disciplines on highly complex products, processes, and projects.
- Cadence Tools Expertise: Extensive experience with and advanced knowledge of Cadence design, simulation, layout, and verification tools for analog and mixed-signal designs.
- Semiconductor Background: Solid understanding of semiconductor basics, including the device physics of CMOS transistors, diodes, MIM capacitors, integrated inductors, and implanted resistors.
- Transistor-Level Design: Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level design, with good working knowledge of small signal and large signal CMOS device models.
- Circuit Analysis Skills: Extensive circuit analysis skills, recognizing potential problems due to model limitations, high-frequency effects, and device temperature effects.
- Lab Experience: Experience characterizing and debugging mixed-signal SoCs in a lab environment, using signal generators, oscilloscopes, BERTs, logic analyzers, and data acquisition systems.
- Package and Layout Intuition: Good intuition of package and layout parasitics, with experience in extracted simulations.
