Senior High-Speed Analog IC Designer for Transceivers

Celero Communications, Inc.; Ottawa; On-site; CAD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Celero Communications, Inc. seeks a Principal High-Speed Analog Circuit Design Engineer to lead the design of high-performance analog blocks for next-generation AI interconnects. The role involves architecting circuits for transceivers, clocking, and premium analog functions.

You will collaborate with a diverse team, supervise layouts, and drive verification, bring-up, and documentation to ensure rigorous performance and reliability in fast-paced a startup environment.

Qualifications

• Master's degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience.
• Strong analog design fundamentals and experience in designing analog circuit blocks for broadband amplification, clock generation and distribution, and/or fundamental analog blocks.
• Experience with analog design and verification tools (Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE, and post layout extraction tools) is a must.
• Experience in advanced CMOS design and verification flows (tools to evaluate self-heating, electromigration, safe operating area).
• Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools (EMX, Momentum, HFSS or other) is a plus.
• Knowledge of the fundamentals on electromagnetism, lump models, and high frequency design.
• Good understanding of analog layouts in FinFET and its effect on high-speed designs is a plus.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• High speed analog circuit design, such as high-speed broadband amplifiers (VGA, CTLE, DRV, etc.).
• Clock generation and distribution (VCOs, PLL, clock distribution, etc.).
• Fundamental analog blocks (bandgap references, LDOs, temp sensors, etc.).
• New techniques for the development of next generation optical transceiver.
• Design of custom passive components, from concept to silicon implementation.
• Supervise analog layouts within advanced process nodes.
• System verification and circuit design spec creation.
• Silicon bring-up, debug and support.
• Team communication and documentation.
