About The Position

Join a fast-growing startup developing high-speed interconnect technology for next-generation AI. The role focuses on architecting and designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits for high-performance transceivers and other critical analog functions, including development of next-generation optical transceivers.

Requirements

• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience.
• Strong analog design fundamentals and experience designing analog circuit blocks for broadband amplification, clock generation and distribution, and/or fundamental analog functions.
• Experience with analog design and verification tools, including Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE, and post-layout extraction tools.
• Experience with advanced CMOS design and verification flows, including tools for evaluating self-heating, electromigration, and safe operating area.
• Knowledge of electromagnetism fundamentals, lumped models, and high-frequency design.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as EMX, Momentum, or HFSS.
• Understanding of analog layouts in FinFET processes and their effects on high-speed designs.

Responsibilities

• Design high-speed analog circuits, including broadband amplifiers such as VGA, CTLE, and DRV.
• Design clock generation and distribution circuits, including VCOs, PLLs, and clock distribution.
• Design fundamental analog blocks such as bandgap references, LDOs, and temperature sensors.
• Develop new techniques for next-generation optical transceivers.
• Design custom passive components from concept through silicon implementation.
• Supervise analog layouts in advanced process nodes.
• Perform system verification and create circuit design specifications.
• Support silicon bring-up and debugging.
• Communicate with the team and document work.
