Job Description

Client is seeking skilled and detail-oriented ASIC Analog SERDE designers to join their team. The successful candidates will be responsible for the circuit design of high-speed SERDES analog/mixed-signal circuits within ASIC designs. This role involves collaborating closely with customers and cross-functional SERDES design engineers to create designs that meet stringent power, area and performance requirements.

Appropriate-level experience, knowledge, and scope of responsibility in SERDES design. May include the following areas:

-Participate in system-level and block-level IC design activities, including architecture definition, circuit design, schematic capture, and circuit and sub-system simulation.

-Work with advanced CMOS technologies, including experience with FinFet technology.

-Utilize standard, commercial IC design CAD tools.

-Apply high-speed design techniques and low power to circuit design.

-Document analog designs blocks and collaborate with Characterization and Product engineers to define and conduct tests and analyze measurement data.

-Assist in the validation of circuit design through lab skills.

-Mentor junior engineers
