System Architecture Team

You will be part of an R&D team developing 32Gbps NRZ and 112Gbps PAM4 serial-link transceivers. Specifically, you will be responsible for modelling, design, analysis, and algorithms the transmitter and receiver mixed signal (analog and digital) front-end. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers, and hardware engineers.

You will be involved in all stages of development including:

  • Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver

  • Modelling: design and maintenance of the system level model

  • Sign-off: system level simulation of the design performance across multiple protocols and channels

  • Silicon: qualification and correlation of performance and algorithms in silicon

  • Customers: assisting customers on system level performance and algorithmic issues


Required: You have an MSc or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering.

Due to the cross disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following:

  • Modelling - experience in Matlab/C/systemVerilog modeling of circuits and systems

  • Analog - background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design

  • Digital - experience with DSP

  • Hardware - awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation ; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance

  • Communications theory - equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering

Beneficial Experience:

  • Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links

  • Familiarity with modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in Matlab or similar tool

  • Knowledge of circuit topologies in high-speed Rx/Tx SerDes PHY

  • Understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques.

  • Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics

  • Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including PCIe, Ethernet, JESD, and CPRI

  • Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links
