We are seeking a highly experienced and motivated Principal Analog Design Engineer to lead the design and validation of cutting-edge analog circuits for high-speed (112G and 224G) SerDes applications. In this role, you will be a key technical driver in the definition, execution, and validation of complex analog and mixed-signal designs.
This role involves providing technical direction and mentorship to layout and less experienced analog design engineers, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing culture. You will engage closely with cross-functional teams, including systems, digital design, and test engineering, to ensure robust design implementation and validation.Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and a commitment to execution excellence are essential. As a principal-level engineer, you will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record of delivering high-quality results in advanced FinFET CMOS technology within high-speed SerDes design environments. Excellent documentation and presentation skills are also required to clearly communicate complex design concepts and results.
The ideal candidate is self-driven, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will actively participate in technical discussions across multiple disciplines, including analog/mixed-signal design, post-silicon validation, and system-level collaboration.
Desired traits:
Excellent communication, documentation, and presentation skills.
Strong problem-solving attitude and ability to deliver under tight schedules in a collaborative environment.
Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional technical discussions and decision-making.
Team player with a collaborative mindset, willingness to share knowledge, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving
Minimum Qualifications
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
8+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design for high-speed SerDes applications.• Proven expertise in one or more of the following areas: PLL, CDR, CTLE, DFE, ADC, or Transmitter (TX) design.
Strong understanding of high-speed communication standards such as PCIe (Gen5/Gen6) and Ethernet (100G/400G/800G).
Solid foundational knowledge of analog design principles-noise, jitter, matching, stability, and linearity.
Hands-on experience with advanced FinFET CMOS process technologies (7nm or below).
Proficiency in analog design and simulation tools such as Cadence Virtuoso/ADE, HSPICE, or equivalent.
Experience in silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and lab debug of analog circuits.
Preferred Qualifications
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
10+ years of experience in analog design for high-speed SerDes (56G/112G/224G) applications.
Deep expertise in transmitter and receiver architecture, CDR loops, equalization techniques, and advanced ADC architectures.
Familiarity with next-generation standards such as PCIe 6.0+, 800G/1.6T Ethernet, JESD, and other SerDes protocols.
Hands-on experience in behavioral modeling (Verilog-A), MATLAB-based analysis, and automation scripting (Python/Tcl/Perl).
Strong understanding of signal integrity, channel modeling, and system-level link performance.
Proven ability to mentor junior engineers, guide layout implementation, and drive design reviews..
