Job description

Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer - RF / SiPho / TIA / CMOS / SiGe

We are seeking an RF and Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of multi-tens of GHz Transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). These optical interface chips are tightly coupled with our high-performance equalizers. The results of these innovative designs have made our client TIAs best in class for coherent long-haul and metro systems as well as PAM4 data center systems.

Hybrid - 2 days a week minimum in office

Responsibilities

In this role you will be responsible for :

  • Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.
  • Design leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.
  • Develop transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.
  • Design of high-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.
  • Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current / voltage sensors, bandgaps, etc.
  • Develop microarchitecture of major circuit blocks and guide a team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.
  • Work with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in the areas of design of high-performance RF / Analog Receiver / TIA design and 10 - 15 years experience, or MSc EE or PhD EE with 5+ years of experience in the areas of design of high-performance RF / Analog Receiver / TIA design .

  • Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry.
  • Solid experience in :
  • Using EDA CAD tools

  • Performing Analog Custom Layout
  • Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements.
  • Deep understanding of fundamentals, including :
  • Detailed transistor level design

  • Device physics
  • Control / Feedback loop stability analysis
  • Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus :
  • AGC loop design

  • High precision analog circuits (Including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps, and DAC / ADC)
  • Experience in CTLE design
  • Project experience in using different technologies (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus).
  • A team player.
  • Experience in the following is a strong plus :
  • Overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers

  • Experience as chip lead with success in silicon
  • Experience in taking chips to mass production
  • Ability to translate chip level specifications into architecture
  • Strong communication, presentation, and documentation skills.
