Acacia designs intelligent transceivers using advanced signal processing and photonic integration for the 100G, 400G and 1T bit speed fiber optic transmission market deployed in data center, metro, long-haul and ultra-long haul telecommunication networks. Meet the Team We are Mixed-signal IC design group that develops high speed ()25Gb/s), and high accuracy, analog designs for optical communications products. We optimize design that will integrate into the ASIC. Our team interacts with other Acacia groups including digital/DSP design, system design, package design, and module design. Your Impact You will architect, design, layout, measure and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products. You will lead efforts for a large block on a complex chip, mentor team members and track deliverables, participate in peer review of complex IC designs and provide solid design methodology from conception to production. You will also collaborate with packaging and hardware design team to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met. You will develop high speed AMS circuits and best-in-class products that push the boundaries of what is possible.
