DAC

About the role

  • Design high-speed drivers, TIAs (trans-impedance amplifiers), and control systems for optical communication applications.
  • Collaborate on architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of circuits integrated with photonic components.
  • Drive high-speed communication product development through innovative solutions.
  • Stay current with advancements in CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor), silicon photonics, and optical communications to enhance design approaches.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical work experience.
  • Background in high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, with fundamental concepts such as: circuit noise and linearity, linear amplifiers, low noise linear trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), AGC (automatic gain control) circuits and linear equalizers.
  • Experience in testing and debugging analog and mixed signal high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) as well as experience with physical design and verification (passive component design using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and HFSS, EMX).
  • **It would be nice if you also had:
  • Familiarity with CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) design and manufacturing, including SiGe (Silicon Germanium) and BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor).
  • Experience with silicon photonics and optical communications.
  • Publications and a record of innovation.
  • Familiarity with digital flow (synthesis, static timing, place and route), particularly in the context of state machines for mixed-signal control systems.
  • Background in wireline communication and equalization; familiarity with SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer), CDR (clock-and-data recovery), PLL (phase locked loop), ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).
Benefits
  • Flexible and hybrid working schemes
  • A minimum of 90 days of Maternity and Paternity Leave, with the option to return to work within a year following the birth or adoption of a child (based on eligibility)
  • Life insurance to all employees to provide peace of mind and financial security
  • Well-being programs to support your mental and physical health
  • Opportunities to join and receive support from Nokia Employee Resource Groups (NERGs)
  • Employee Growth Solutions to support your personalized career & skills development
  • Diverse pool of Coaches & Mentors to whom you have easy access
  • A learning environment which promotes personal growth and professional development - for your role and beyond
