If you already have a Candidate Account, please Sign-In before you apply.Job Description:This is a DSP/Systems Design Engineering position for high-speed Serdes products in the Physical Layer Products (PLP) Division. You will join a team of expert communication system/mixed-signal ASIC designers involved in the design, verification, and implementation of advanced signal processing algorithms for the physical layer of high-speed Serdes at speeds of 100G+. The types of algorithms that will be implemented include PAM & other higher-order modulation, single/multi-input adaptive equalizers/cancellers, single/multi-dimensioned FEC, digital filters, and interface/integration with analog functions and analysis and compensation for analog circuit non-idealities.You will be collaborating closely with analog & digital designers to successfully implement the algorithms in advanced silicon technology nodes and work with DVT/lab engineers to validate your designs for high-volume production. You will support the group contribute to the development of next-generation wireline communications standards at standard bodies such as IEEE and OIF.Responsibilities include:Develop channel models and run simulations to help define Serdes architectureDefine and document signal processing block requirements, architecture, and lab test planDevelop bit-exact MATLAB and C/C++ system models for simulation and verificationDevelop and run system-level simulation suites of the Serdes to evaluate architectural tradeoffsWork with the design team to perform vector matching verification with RTL simulationsDevelop, test, and debug firmware associated with physical layer functionalityLab testing and debug of SerdesDocumentation/application note development and customer supportSupport marketing group with customer meetings and collateralJob RequirementsB.S.E.E. plus 12+ years relevant experience OR M.S.E.E. plus 10 years required)Expert knowledge in Communication TheoryExpert knowledge in Digital Signal Processing algorithmsWorking knowledge of Analog circuit behaviorWorking knowledge of Transmission line theory and s-parameterExpert in MATLAB, C/C++ programmingGood hands-on skills in the labExperience in designing high-speed Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) PLLs is a very big plus.Experience in equalization techniques for wireline communication applications such as read-channel is also a very big plus.RTL coding is a plusKnowledge of IEEE 802.3/OIF 100G/200G/400G Serdes standards and PCIe Gen6/Gen7 standards is a plusCompensation and BenefitsThe annual base salary range for this position is USD 143,800.00 To USD 230,000.00As a valued member of our team, you'll be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and the opportunity to receive not only a competitive new hire equity grant, but also annual equity awards, connecting your success directly to the company's growth.
