You Are:

You are a seasoned analog design engineer with a passion for innovation and a knack for solving complex technical problems. With a solid foundation in electrical engineering and extensive experience in integrated circuit (IC) design, you thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy leading projects from concept to completion. Your expertise spans high-speed PHY designs such as DDR, HBM, or SERDES, and you have a deep understanding of transistor-level circuit design and CMOS fundamentals. You excel in proposing and implementing design and verification strategies that optimize power, area, and performance. Your ability to guide and mentor junior engineers is matched by your independent judgment in refining circuit architectures. You are adept at overseeing physical layout to minimize parasitic effects and process variations, and you are skilled in presenting simulation data for peer and customer reviews. Your knowledge of design for reliability and familiarity with layout effects ensures that you can propose effective post-silicon design updates. You are proficient with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification, and you have a solid grasp of SPICE simulators and Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Reviewing SerDes standards to develop analog top and sub-block specifications.
• Leading projects and guiding junior engineers through complex design challenges.
• Identifying and refining circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets.
• Proposing design and verification strategies to ensure the highest quality design using simulator features efficiently.
• Overseeing physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
• Reviewing and presenting simulation data for peer and customer review.
• Defining and documenting design features and test plans.
• Proposing solutions for post-silicon design updates.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Contributing to the development of cutting-edge technology that powers the next generation of high-performance silicon chips.
• Driving innovation in analog design, ensuring our products meet and exceed industry standards.
