Staff Analog Circuit Design Engineer – SerDes Team

The AMD SerDes team is hiring for a staff level Analog Circuit Design Engineer to work on SerDes products up to 200+ Gbps on the latest CMOS FinFET nodes. The team has extensive experience in the design of circuits for high‑speed transmission and recovery of data over wired links, including:

• High‑speed (100 GSps+) data converters for signal recovery (ADC) and transmit signal conditioning (DAC)
• Continuous‑time equalisers with programmable gain and bandwidth up to 60+ GHz
• Wide‑range, low‑noise PLLs operating up to 20+ GHz
• Injection‑locked oscillators for multi‑phase clock generation
• High‑speed clock distribution and correction circuits
• Custom digital circuits for data serialisation
• High‑speed wired channel termination and driver circuits

The successful candidate will work with a world‑class team in the development of SerDes solutions to facilitate the future connectivity of AMD CPU, GPU and FPGA products.

THE ROLE

The role requires the development of high‑speed and high‑performance analog circuits at the lowest power possible. The candidate is expected to have extensive experience in the design and verification of analog circuits and systems, and be familiar with layout floor‑planning, layout‑dependent effects and post‑layout verification.

THE PERSON

You have a passion for high‑speed analog circuit design and verification. You are a team player with excellent communication skills, experienced in collaborating with engineers located in different sites and timezones. You have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on challenges.

• Verification of circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets using industry‑standard tools and methodologies
• Regular presentation and sharing of design progress with peers
• Participation in design reviews of other circuits both for issue identification and learning purposes
• Communication with SerDes circuit team members at other sites to share ideas
• Feedback circuit performance information to the architecture team for system modelling
• Support of the system‑level verification team in modelling analog circuits in Verilog and debugging identified issues
• Assist with silicon bring‑up and debugging

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Strong analog circuit design and analysis skills
• Experience with industry‑standard schematic entry and circuit simulation tools and methodologies
• Good programming/scripting skills
• Familiarity with the impact of layout effects on circuit design
• Experience with circuit floor‑planning
• Previous experience in high‑speed circuit design is a benefit
• Experience in silicon debug, verification and characterization
• Good interpersonal/teamwork skills

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering
