Staff Analog and Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Review SerDes standards (PCI-Express, Ethernet, CPRI) to develop sub-block specifications for analog circuits operating at 112Gbps, 128Gbps, 224Gbps, and higher
• Design and optimize transistor-level circuits including receive equalizers, drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCOs, PLLs, ADCs, and DACs in FinFET process nodes
• Propose and execute verification strategies using Hspice, Finesim, or PrimeSim to validate performance across process, voltage, and temperature corners
• Oversee physical layout to minimize parasitic resistance and capacitance while managing device mismatch and proximity effects
• Collaborate with digital RTL engineers to co-develop calibration, adaptation, and control algorithms
• Mentor junior engineers on circuit design fundamentals, layout best practices, and verification methodology

Requirements

• MASc or PhD with 3+ years of CMOS analog and mixed-signal circuit design experience (or Bachelor's degree with equivalent experience)
• Silicon-proven track record implementing circuits for TX, RX, and clock paths within a SerDes
• Deep hands-on experience with high-speed analog components (VCOs, PLLs, DLLs, equalizers, etc.)
• Demonstrated ability optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to manage parasitics and local device mismatch
• Proficiency with Hspice, Finesim, PrimeSim, or similar SPICE simulators
• Experience with scripting and automation using Python, TCL, Perl, C, or MATLAB

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
• Competitive salaries and retirement plans
