SerDes System Architecture , Staff Engineer

SerDes System Architect

You will be part of an R&D team developing 8 to 224Gbps and NRZ and PAM4 serial-link (SerDes) transceivers. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to join our team. You will work with a cross-functional team of analog and digital designers, and hardware engineers.

You will be involved in all stages of development including:

• Modelling: updating and maintaining SerDes system models
• Sign-off: running system simulations to verify design performance across multiple protocols and channels
• Algorithms: proposing and designing algorithms to calibration and adapt the transceiver for optimal performance
• Silicon: correlating simulated performance with silicon measurements
• Customers: assisting customers with system-level performance issues

You have an B.E/Btech/Mtech/MS/M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electronics or Computer Engineering with 5 years or more experience in related area of expertise .

Due to the cross disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following:

• Modelling - experience modeling circuits and systems in MATLAB/Simulink
• Analog – experience designing high-speed analog CMOS circuits
• Digital – experience with DSP
• Communications theory – experience with equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering

Beneficial Experience:

• Experience analyzing link budgets for NRZ and/or PAM4 high-speed serial links
• Experience modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in MATLAB or similar tool
• Knowledge of circuit topologies used in high-speed SerDes Tx/Rx
• Knowledge of Tx/Rx equalization techniques
• Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics
• Knowledge of common high-speed serial data protocols including PCIe, 10G/25G/56G/112G Ethernet, JESD204C, CPRI
• Experience with lab tests for high-speed serial links
• Experience with C/Verilog-A/systemVerilog
