You are an experienced engineering leader with deep expertise in algorithm development for high-speed SerDes PHYs for calibration, adaptation, equalization and performance optimization. You thrive in multidisciplinary teams, excel at technical problem-solving, and are passionate about building robust solutions to complicated mixed-signal challenges from concept through hardware demonstration. You enjoy mentoring others, collaborating to solve complex issues, and clearly communicating technical insights to diverse audiences.

What You’ll Be Doing:

- Defining, documenting, and reviewing algorithms for SerDes PHY functions, with a focus on firmware and RTL implementation quality.

- Collaborating closely with architecture, analog, digital, firmware, and hardware teams to ensure the correctness and repeatability of SerDes algorithms across multiple protocols and standards.

- Coordinating feasibility and robustness studies for new algorithmic features in high-speed serial protocols such as Ethernet and PCIe.

- Driving cross-team integration and validation to guarantee deterministic accuracy and stability from simulation through hardware demonstration, including thorough corner-case and stress testing.

- Analyzing lab and field data to refine, debug, and enhance algorithm performance, resilience, and repeatability.

- Supporting system-level debug, root cause analysis, and escalations related to algorithm implementation in firmware or RTL.

- Mentoring and guiding junior team members in the development and validation of algorithms, fostering growth and knowledge sharing across the team.

- Serving as a key technical resource, communicating algorithm capabilities and limitations in both internal and customer-facing engineering forums.

The Impact You Will Have:

- Advance next-gen 224G/448G SerDes PHY performance and reliability.

- Deliver robust, high-quality calibration and adaptation features and overall PHY performance.

- Drive successful implementation, verification, and validation of algorithmic features across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

- Enhance technical excellence and knowledge sharing.

- Strengthen Synopsys’ leadership in high-speed PHY IP.

What You’ll Need:

- MSc+ in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.

- 8+ years in algorithm/signal processing for SerDes PHY or mixed-signal systems.

- MATLAB/Simulink, C, or Python expertise.

- Hands-on SerDes modeling and calibration experience.

- Strong troubleshooting and cross-team collaboration skills.

Who You Are:

- Technical leader and mentor.

- Strategic, analytical, and collaborative.

- Excellent communicator and problem-solver.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

Join the High Speed SerDes PHY Architecture Team, a collaborative group dedicated to innovation in high-speed serial technology and robust algorithmic design.
