About the role

This senior-level R&D Engineer Hardware position involves designing wireline high-speed analog mixed-signal circuitry for data center connectivity applications.

What you'll do

• Research and apply design and validation for analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-speed serial link applications.
• Research novel circuit techniques to achieve maximum speed, performance, minimum power, and area.
• Design, develop, modify, and evaluate electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry.
• Characterize and debug analog designs for manufacturability.
• Create circuit models to define package and pc board requirements.
• Develop circuit test plans.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 5+ years of related experience OR Master's degree in Engineering and 3+ years of related experience.
• Analog circuit design.
• CMOS device operating regions & characteristics.
• Common circuit topologies used in CMOS analog circuits, particularly in circuits running at 1 GHz and above.
• Analog circuit design trade-offs and parameters (e.g., noise & distortion, frequency-response, mismatch, bandwidth, stability or settling limitations).
• Signal processing in analog filters, analog to digital converters, digital to analog converters and feedback controlled loops.
• Simulation tools, custom layout tools, and common lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer or similar).

Nice to have

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proactive, collaborative, and creative approach to innovation, technical development and consensus facilitation.
• Excellent time and task management, and interpersonal skills.
