High Speed DAC Design Expert
About The Position
AMD Serdes Technology Group develops high-performance electrical and optical transceivers in advanced CMOS PDKs. The team is seeking an expert in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and architecture, with a strong background in advanced ultra-high-speed electrical and/or optical PHY design. The role owns performance-critical SerDes analog/mixed-signal blocks, defines circuit-driven Tx and Rx micro-architectures, manages block-level power, performance, area, and jitter budgets, mentors sub-block owners, and supports verification, silicon bring-up, and validation. The position is located in San Jose, California, and is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Requirements
- Strong background in advanced ultra-high-speed electrical and/or optical PHY design.
- Self-starter who collaborates well with functional teams and customers to drive projects to completion.
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or an M.S. with relevant industrial experience in optical and/or electrical transceiver design.
Nice To Haves
- Experience designing 200G+ CMOS transceivers and a deep understanding of high-speed electrical and/or optical interface requirements.
- Demonstrated proficiency in hands-on circuit optimization, including tuning for power, performance, and area at block and system levels.
- Proven track record in silicon productization, from initial design through bring-up, validation, and successful ramp to mass production.
Responsibilities
- Own performance-critical analog mixed-signal circuit blocks used in SerDes, including high-speed data converters (DAC and ADC), clocking circuits, and analog front-end circuits.
- Define circuit-driven micro-architectures of Tx and Rx subsystems and drive sub-block-level specifications.
- Own power, performance, area, and jitter budgets of analog design blocks.
- Mentor sub-block owners and conduct peer reviews of design and verification results.
- Work with pre-tapeout verification and post-silicon validation teams to bring up silicon and analyze silicon results.
Benefits
- AMD benefits are described as available in “AMD benefits at a glance”; specific benefits are not listed in the posting.
