What does an internship Serdes design engineer do?

An Internship Serdes (Serializer/Deserializer) Design Engineer assists in designing high-speed data transmission circuits that convert data between serial and parallel forms. They typically work under the guidance of experienced engineers to help develop, test, and optimize SerDes blocks used in integrated circuits for applications like networking, data centers, and consumer electronics. Tasks may include schematic design, simulation, layout, and validation of high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits. The internship provides hands-on experience with industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools and exposure to the full chip design flow.
