About The Position

Join a cutting-edge team at the forefront of silicon photonics and analog circuit design! As a member of the analog team, you’ll collaborate with our architects and engineers to develop innovative analog and mixed-signal (AMS) solutions for next-generation optical and wireline communication systems. We are currently hiring for multiple levels for this role. Your level and compensation will be determined by your experience, education, and location.

Requirements

MS with 8+ years of relevant experience, OR Ph.D. with 5+ years of industry experience designing analog and mixed-signal circuits
Solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs
Experience with Cadence Design Environment
Experience in testing analog circuits in a lab environment
Ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas

Nice To Haves

Experience interfacing with Silicon photonics (MZM, Ring) or laser IC is a plus
Experience in chip top-level design is a plus

Responsibilities

Design analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits used in control loops, such as data converters, amplifiers, drivers, comparators, bandgap, and more
Support micro-architecture development with chip architects by conducting feasibility studies
Collaborate with members of our design engineering teams (system, digital, analog, photonics/laser) to define electrical requirements
Document design simulations and verifications towards formal design reviews
Drive block-level floorplan, mask design views, and their reviews
Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration
Define production and bench-level test plans
Validate the performance of the circuits in the lab
