DSP Design Engineer
GlobalFoundriesJob Title
DSP Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and evaluate DSP and calibration solutions for high-speed serial links and photonic/electrical interfaces. Work includes system-level modeling, control/closed-loop design, and converting algorithms into fixed-point implementations for collaboration with digital and hardware teams.
Position sits on a mixed-signal/systems team supporting implementation and verification of calibration, control, and link-performance features across photonic and electrical components.
Experience Level
Entry-level — suitable for candidates with approximately 0–2 years of relevant work experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on system analysis, modeling, and translating algorithms to implementable digital designs.
- Analyze serial link performance and derive specifications for each stage of the signal chain.
- Design and develop calibration processes and closed-loop control systems; convert algorithms to fixed-point formats for digital implementation.
- Model photonic and electrical components to evaluate and optimize system-level performance.
- Collaborate with hardware and digital design teams to translate models into implementable solutions (FPGA/ASIC targets).
- Support debugging, testing, and iterative performance improvement during integration and validation.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and domain knowledge.
- Proficient in MATLAB for system modeling and simulation.
- Strong C/C++ programming skills.
- Deep understanding of continuous-time and discrete-time signals.
- Strong knowledge of analog and digital communication systems.
- Solid foundation in control theory and closed-loop system design.
- Experience working with hardware and digital design teams to implement algorithms in fixed-point formats.
Nice-to-have:
- Familiarity with HDL (VHDL or Verilog).
- Knowledge of digital design implementation on FPGA/ASIC.
Education Requirements
B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Communications, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Suitable for candidates with approximately 0–2 years of relevant work experience.
