About the Role
The Design Architect Analog IC Designer is responsible for the design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications. This role contributes to the design of long-reach SerDes.
Responsibilities
- Design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications.
- Contribute to the design of long-reach SerDes.
Requirements
- Minimum of 10 years of experience in the development of CMOS SerDes or high-speed I/O IC.
- Thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques.
- Proficient design experience in most of the following SerDes circuit blocks: Driver; Receiver; Serializer; Deserializer; Phase Interpolator; Low jitter PLL; High Speed Clock Distribution; ADC and DAC; Bias and Bandgap; and Voltage Regulators.
- Excellent problem-solving skills.
- Good communication skills.
- Ability to work cooperatively in a team environment.
- Working knowledge of a set of common SerDes standards and their electrical requirements is a plus.
- Proficiency in using CAD tools for circuit simulation, and post-layout verification.
- Proficiency with layout entry is a plus.
- Cadence tool experience.
- Lab test experience.
- Design experience at ≥16Gbps.
- Design experience in ≤16nm technologies.
