High Speed IO Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Job Title

High Speed IO Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and develop analog/mixed-signal (AMS) IP for next-generation high-speed IOs, high-bandwidth memory PHYs, and die-to-die Gbps proprietary PHY solutions. Work within an AMS IP design team to define circuit architectures, author block specifications, and drive pre- and post-silicon verification and validation.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Specific years of experience are not stated; role expects demonstrated hands-on AMS design and delivery experience.

Responsibilities

Primary technical and delivery responsibilities:

• Architect and design high-speed IO/SerDes analog and mixed-signal circuits and PHY IP blocks.
• Collaborate with system/platform and SoC architects to translate system-level specifications into AMS block-level requirements.
• Author AMS block and architecture technical specifications and verification plans.
• Develop and execute pre-silicon verification and post-silicon characterization/validation test plans.
• Work with project managers, IC designers, and physical designers to meet schedule and technical targets.
• Drive AMS designs through to production release.

Requirements

Must-have skills and qualifications:

• Hands-on design experience with multi-Gbps serial links and high-bandwidth memory interfaces and PHY/IOs.
• Strong fundamentals in mixed-signal circuit architecture and design techniques for receivers, transmitters, and clocking (PLL/DLL).
• Experience architecting and designing analog AMS blocks such as phase interpolators, low-jitter clock distribution, bandgaps, biasing circuits, LDOs, amplifiers, and comparators.
• Deep understanding of high-speed IO signaling topologies, link-budget analysis, jitter/SNR metrics, and PPA trade-offs.
• Experience with FinFET advanced CMOS process nodes (16 nm / 7 nm / 3 nm and below) and transistor-level performance considerations.
• Proficiency in AMS design flows and common tools (Cadence Virtuoso/schematic capture, Spectre and/or HSPICE).
• Proven track record taking AMS designs into production and delivering to schedule.
• Strong technical communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States; this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with PCIe, USB, DDR4/DDR5, HBM2/HBM3, GDDR5/GDDR6, and chip-to-chip PHY IPs.
• Experience with low-power techniques for high-speed custom digital circuits (CMOS/CML) and transistor-level timing sign-off.
• Familiarity with clock and data recovery, duty-cycle correction, clock mixers, and related mixed-signal subsystems.

Education Requirements

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
