Job description

We are looking for a candidate for high-speed analog integrated circuit design. This candidate will contribute to the Electronic Integrated Circuit (EIC) development for Co-packaged optics (CPO). This requires the candidate to work closely with the optics team on the electro/optical co-design as well as system integration and validation.

Job Description

• Design, development, and validation of high-performance and broadband analog integrated circuits for optical transceiver front end.
• Design, simulation, and verification of various analog circuits including voltage regulators, automatic gain control loops, bandgaps, equalizers, ADC, DAC, and offset cancellation circuits.
• Contribute to the design of trans-impedance amplifiers, silicon photonic modulator drivers, and variable gain amplifiers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to create innovative circuit solutions for electro-optical interfaces.
• Perform 3D EM modeling of passives including interconnects, transmission lines, and on-chip inductors.
• Work with other functional groups on devising characterization plans and post-silicon validation.
• Prepare design documentation and participate in design reviews.

Job Requirements

• Minimum of a PhD in Electronic Engineering.
• Minimum of 2 years of transistor-level analog circuit design experience.
