Senior Analog Design Engineer

Intel•Santa Clara, CA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Intel Integrated Photonics Solutions (IPS), part of the Data Center Group, develops silicon photonics integration and optical connectivity solutions for growing data center bandwidth needs. The Senior Analog Design Engineer will contribute to the development of silicon photonics products and networking technologies by designing high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for advanced optical interconnect products. The role spans architecture, design, implementation, and validation, working with cross-functional and multidisciplinary teams from concept through production. The position is eligible for Intel’s hybrid work model, splitting time between an assigned Intel site and off-site work.

Requirements
