We are seeking an experienced SerDes Design Engineer to help deliver disruptive high-speed interconnect technology powering the next generation of AI infrastructure. In this role, you will lead the architecture and design of cutting-edge SerDes solutions for next-generation transceivers, driving innovations that enable higher bandwidth, lower power, and industry-leading performance for AI networking and optical connectivity.
Locations: Irvine, CA (HQ) | San Jose, CA | Vancouver, BC | Ottawa, ON
What You Will Do:
โข Define architecture, specifications, and circuit topologies for next-generation SerDes
โข Overview development of system-level modelling, with behavioral models (e.g., MATLAB, SystemVerilog, Verilog-A) to analyze link budgets, equalization strategies, and jitter budgeting
โข Design high-performance analog/mixed-signal circuits in advanced node technologies
โข Develop and overview the design of critical blocks including RX/TX equalization (CTLE, DFE), High-speed PLLs, Phase interpolators, DLLs, TDCs
โข Implement digitally assisted analog circuits, background calibration, and adaptive loops to improve Power, Performance, Area (PPA)
โข Oversee physical layout to minimize parasitics, device stress, electromigration and process variation impacts
โข Overview of the analysis of Signal Integrity and Power Integrity to achieve system-defined targets
โข Lead lab validation, debugging and characterization of SerDes IPs within our state-of-the-art lab
โข Correlate silicon measurements with simulated data, and lead performance optimization in the system environment
What You Will Bring:
โข Master's degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields with 10+ years of relevant experience in SerDes design
โข Proven record of taking high-speed SerDes design to tape-out and volume production
โข Experience in lab bring-up, characterization, and debugging designs that reach out production
โข Must have extensive experience with advanced node technologies (16nm/12nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, 2nm processes)
โข Prior experience in cross-functional interaction to deliver IP and ensuring seamless integration in SOCs
โข Strong communication and documentation skills
Annual Base Salary Range for US: $150,000 - $250,000 (The final offer will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, and location.)
