Position

The AMD SerDes team is hiring a Staff‑level Analog Circuit Design Engineer to work on SerDes products up to 200+ Gbps on the latest CMOS FinFET nodes. The role focuses on the 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 BW 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 to develop SerDes solutions that enable future connectivity of AMD CPU, GPU and FPGA products.

Role

The role requires the design of high‑speed, high‑performance analog circuits at the lowest possible power. Extensive experience in design and verification of analog circuits and systems is expected, including layout floor‑planning, understanding of layout‑dependent effects and post‑layout verification.

Person

• Passion for high‑speed analog circuit design and verification.
• Team player with excellent communication skills and experience collaborating across sites and time zones.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, willing to learn and take on challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Design analog circuits for SerDes PHY development to meet block‑level specifications.
• Verify circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets using industry‑standard tools and methodologies.
• Present and share design progress with peers.
• Participate in design reviews of other circuits for issue identification and learning.
• Communicate with SerDes circuit team members at other sites to share ideas.
• Feed back circuit performance information to the architecture team for system modelling.
• Support the system‑level verification team in modelling analog circuits in Verilog and debugging identified issues.
• Assist with silicon bring‑up and debug.

Preferred Experience

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