innovation, we want to meet you.Our Silicon IP business is all
about integrating more capabilities into an SoC-faster. We offer
the world's broadest portfolio of silicon IP-predesigned blocks of
logic, memory, interfaces, analog, security, and embedded
processors. All to help customers integrate more capabilities. Meet
unique performance, power, and size requirements of their target
applications. And get differentiated products to market quickly
with reduced risk. Senior Analog Design EngineerWe're looking for a
Staff Analog Design Engineer to join our team.Does this sound like
a good role for you?In this role, you will work on the design,
development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You
will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R team
developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest
FinFET process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block
specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit
architectures and successful design strategies. You will work with
a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from
a wide variety of backgrounds. Our environment is best in class
with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom,
in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team.
Preferred ExperienceReview SerDes standards to develop novel
transceiver architectures and sub-block specificationsInvestigate
and develop circuit architectures that address architectural
bottlenecks and lead to revolutionary improvements in power, area
and performance targetsWork across project and department teams to
streamline design and verification strategies ensure overall design
quality, efficiency and performanceOversee physical layout to
minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process
variationPresent & review simulation data from internal project
teams. Present results externally at industry panels or at customer
reviewsDocument design features and test plansConsult on the
overall electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product.
Analyze customer silicon data for design enhancements. Propose
solutions for post-silicon design updatesKey QualificationsPhD with
8+ years, or MSc with 10+ years of practical analog IC design
experience; degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer
Engineering or other relevant field of studyIn depth familiarity
with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design
fundamentalsExtensive design experience with most sub-circuits
relevant to SerDes:receive equalizers, samplers,

voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop,
phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DACKnowledge of SerDes,
circuit and fabrication issues that directly impact customer
use-casesAware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques,
layout)Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed
logic paths)Experience with analog/digital interactions for
optimizing circuit performance (calibration, adaptation,
timing-handoff, etc)Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM,
IR, aging, etc.) and layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability,
proximity effects, etc.)Experience with tools for schematic entry,
physical layout, and design verificationKnowledge of SPICE
