Job description

We are now looking for a Senior Research Scientist for Circuits! Advanced circuit design is critically important in the post‑Moore’s Law age. Without the ability to scale process to increase performance and reduce power, we must rely more and more on creative architectural and underlying circuit solutions to provide continuing advancement from generation to generation.

Responsibilities
  • Explore circuit approaches to optimizing processor computation and interconnect performance and power
  • Design and implement circuit approaches in prototype systems
  • Collaborate with external researchers and a diverse set of internal product teams across research and product roles
  • Transfer technology to product groups
  • Publish original research and speak at conferences and events
Qualifications
  • PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or related field. A strong publication, patent, and research collaboration history is a huge advantage.
  • 3+ years of relevant post graduate research / work experience
  • Excellent knowledge and broad background of theory and practice of circuit design
  • Depth in one or more areas of high‑performance circuit design (PLLs and clocking, SerDes and high‑speed signaling, photonics, SRAMs, power delivery/regulation, security circuits, and high‑speed logic)
  • Track record of research excellence or significant product development
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 192,000USD ‑ 304,750USD for Level4, and 224,000USD ‑ 356,500USD for Level5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
