This is a hands-on, transistor-level analog design role owning the clocking subsystem of d-Matrix's high-speed SerDes on our IO chiplet - including the PLL, DLL, phase interpolator, high-frequency clock distribution, and clock and data recovery (CDR) loop. This block set most often determines whether a link closes, and you will personally carry your designs from specification through silicon characterization. The work spans porting proven clocking blocks to new process nodes and ground-up design for our next-generation link, partnering closely with datapath, DSP, digital, and firmware teams to close timing, jitter budgets, and calibration across the full SerDes macro.

• Own transistor-level design of low-jitter frequency synthesis - LC and/or ring PLL, including loop filter, charge pump or digital loop, VCO, and divider chain.

• Own the phase interpolator and phase rotation scheme, including INL/DNL, glitch behavior, and interpolation resolution against the CDR's needs.

• Design high-frequency clock distribution across the SerDes macro: buffer chains, duty-cycle correction, quadrature generation and correction, skew control, and supply isolation.

• Define and verify CDR architecture and loop dynamics - bandwidth, jitter tolerance, jitter transfer, lock acquisition, and frequency offset tracking - modeling loop behavior in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent, and correlating against transistor-level and silicon results, in coordination with datapath and DSP owners.

• Build phase-noise and jitter budgets for the link and own the analysis showing where jitter originates.

• Build the verification environment for your blocks - PSS/HB and transient noise analysis, PVT corner coverage, Monte Carlo, and post-layout back-annotated simulation - and provide behavioral and Verilog-A models for full-chip verification.

• Drive layout of your blocks in deep sub-micron nodes, with particular attention to inductor and VCO layout, shielding, symmetry, and supply/substrate isolation.

• Take your blocks through silicon bring-up and bench characterization - phase noise, jitter tolerance, lock range - and correlate measured results against simulation.

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, with 5+ years of hands-on analog and mixed-signal circuit design experience.

• Demonstrated ownership of a low-jitter PLL, phase interpolator, or CDR loop through silicon in a high-speed SerDes link.

• Deep knowledge of PLL architecture, loop dynamics, VCO design, and phase noise theory, along with working knowledge of CDR architectures and the loop analysis behind jitter tolerance and jitter transfer.

• Practical experience with jitter decomposition and budgeting methodology, including quantifying contributors in simulation.

• Circuit design experience in advanced FinFET or GAA process nodes, using industry-standard analog design and simulation tools and methodologies (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Monte Carlo/corner analysis, post-layout simulation).

• Silicon bring-up and bench debug experience with lab equipment such as phase noise analyzers, high-speed scopes, and BERTs.

• Die-to-die interconnect experience - UCIe, BoW, or a proprietary D2D PHY - including clocking architecture choices specific to short-reach, low-energy-per-bit links.

• Forwarded-clock and matched-source-synchronous architectures alongside embedded-clock CDR.

• Digital and hybrid PLL/CDR implementations, including the digital calibration around them.

• Familiarity with relevant specifications: UCIe, OIF CEI-112G/224G, IEEE 802.3, PCIe Gen6/Gen7.

• Experience porting a clocking block across process nodes, with a realistic sense of what that effort costs.

• Participation in or contribution to standards bodies.
