Your deep knowledge of high-speed analog/digital design and strong leadership make you an ideal fit.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver
• Modelling: design and maintenance of the system level model
• Signal/Power Integrity: analyzing different signal and power integrity requirements
• 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
  
  

What You’ll Need:

• You have a MSc or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 15+ yrs of experience.
• 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
• Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links
• Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including Ethernet, OIF, JESD, CPRI
• Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links
  
  

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

• Modelling - experience in Matlab/Simulink/C modeling of circuits and systems
• Communications theory - equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering
• Digital - background in digital signal process (DSP)
• Analog - background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design
• Hardware - awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance
