Analog Design, Sr. Staff Engineer

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of Analog Macro level design and track the work of sub-block owners
• Review SerDes standards and architecture documents to develop analog specifications
• Identify and refine circuit implementations to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets
• Propose design and verification strategies to ensure high-quality design using simulator features
• Oversee physical layout to minimize the effects of parasitics, device stress, and process variation
• Collaborate with digital RTL engineers on calibration, adaptation, and control algorithms
• Mentor and review the progress of junior engineers
• Document design features, test plans, and present simulation data for peer and customer review

Requirements

• Advanced degree with 6+ years of SerDes or High-Speed analog design experience
• In-depth familiarity with transistor-level circuit design and sound CMOS design fundamentals
• Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits for TX, RX, and Clock paths within a SerDes
• Experience leading a small team of designers collaborating on Macro level design building blocks
• Detailed design experience with sub-circuits such as equalizers, samplers, VCO, PLL, DLL, or ADCs/DACs
• Experience optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to minimize parasitic effects and local device mismatch
• Proficiency with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification
• Knowledge of SPICE simulators, Verilog-A for behavioral modeling, and scripting languages (Python, MATLAB, TCL, or Perl)

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Paid time away including ETO and FTO programs
• Family support including maternity/paternity leave and adoption assistance
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with a 15% discount
