About the role
- Assist in designing critical analog blocks for D2D links, such as high-speed drivers, receivers, clock distribution networks, and voltage regulators.
- Perform detailed transient, noise, and Monte Carlo simulations using industry-standard tools like Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE.
- Validate key performance metrics including Signal Integrity (SI), power consumption, and jitter to ensure compliance with standards like UCIe.
- Develop high-level behavioral models (e.g., in Verilog-A or MATLAB) to speed up top-level system simulations.
- Work with layout engineers to oversee critical physical design aspects, ensuring proper shielding and matching to minimize parasitic effects.
- Document design methodologies and present simulation results during internal technical reviews.
Requirements
- Currently enrolled in a Graduate program (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design.
- Strong foundation in CMOS/FinFET device physics and circuit fundamentals (Op-amps, PLLs, or SerDes).
- Understanding of high-speed transmission line theory and signal integrity.
- Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso (Schematic/Layout) and circuit simulators.
- Familiarity with scripting for data analysis (e.g., Python or MATLAB).
Benefits
- Medical/Dental/Vision
- 401k
- Incentive opportunities based on individual and company performance
- Diverse package of benefits centered around employee wellbeing
