Category Engineering Hire Type Employee Job ID 5580 Remote Eligible No Date Posted 18/09/2024 Are you interested in contributing to the development of cutting-edge designs enabling the next generation of datacenters, automobiles, and communication networks?

In this role, you will work on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed (50Gbps, 100Gbps, and beyond) analog integrated circuits in the latest process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog, layout, and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Our environment is best in class with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team. Our Solution IP group in Boxborough, Massachusetts is looking for an enthusiastic person to join our team. You will be working with a cross functional team of analog and mixed signal circuit designers from a wide variety of backgrounds on design and methodology.

Job Responsibilities

  • Review and investigate SerDes standards to develop novel transceiver architectures, top, and sub-block specifications.
  • Investigate and develop circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks, leading to revolutionary enhancements in power, area, and performance targets.
  • Work across project and department teams to streamline design and verification strategies ensure overall design quality, efficiency and performance.
  • Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
  • Present & review simulation data from internal project teams for peer and customer review.
  • Document design features and test plans.
  • Consult on the overall electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product. Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.
  • Review customer silicon data for design enhancements and addressing customer inquiries.

Job Requirements
  • PhD with 3+ years, or MSc with 5+ years of practical analog IC design experience. A degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other relevant field of study.
  • Detailed design experience with at least two, and familiarity with several other SerDes sub-circuits.
    • Receive equalizers such as CTLE, DFE, FFE
    • DAC Based transmitters and ADC based receivers, DSP equalization
    • High speed clocking circuits such as PLL and phase interpolator, voltage-controlled oscillator
    • ADC and DAC
    • Samplers
    • voltage/current-mode drivers
    • bandgap reference
  • In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals, experience with CMOS tape-outs
  • Knowledge of SerDes (Including PAM4 SerDes), circuit and fabrication issues that directly impact customer use-cases.
  • Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed digital paths, Serializer, De-serializer).
  • Aware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout).
  • Experience with analog/digital interactions for optimizing circuit performance (calibration, adaptation, timing-handoff, etc)
  • Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.) and layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
  • Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
  • Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
  • Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
  • Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and documentation skills
