SerDes Architect and Design Engineer

Ser Des Architect and Design Engineer Responsibilities

• Correlate silicon measurements with simulated data, and lead performance optimization in the system environment
• Define architecture, specifications, and circuit topologies for next-generation Ser Des
• Design high-performance analog/mixed-signal circuits in advanced node technologies
• Develop and oversee the design of critical blocks including RX/TX equalization (CTLE, DFE), high-speed PLLs, phase interpolators, DLLs, TDCs
• Implement digitally assisted analog circuits, background calibration, and adaptive loops to improve power, performance, and area
• Lead lab validation, debugging and characterization of Ser Des IPs within our state-of-the-art lab
• Oversee physical layout to minimize parasitics, device stress, electromigration and process variation impacts
• Oversee development of system‑level modeling, with behavioral models (e.g., MATLAB, System Verilog, Verilog‑A) to analyze link budgets, equalization strategies, and jitter budgeting
• Oversee analysis of signal integrity and power integrity to achieve system‑defined targets

• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields with 10+ years of relevant experience in Ser Des design
• Experience in lab bring‑up, characterization, and debugging designs that reach out production
• Must have extensive experience with advanced node technologies (16nm/12nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, 2nm processes)
• Prior experience in cross‑functional interaction to deliver IP and ensuring seamless integration in SOCs
• Proven record of taking high-speed Ser Des design to tape‑out and volume production
• Strong communication and documentation skills
