SerDes Design Intern (Analog/Mixed-Signal)

AMD; Santa Clara (CA); Hybrid; USD 34,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD is seeking an electrical engineering PhD student for a full-time co-op/internship in the San Jose/Santa Clara area. You will work on high-speed analog/mixed-signal IC design, simulating and modeling on-die RF components and optical structures, and contributing to DAC/ADC and clocking blocks in advanced FinFET processes.

You will collaborate with experts to tackle challenging SerDes/receiver/transceiver architectures, using MATLAB, SPICE, and CAD tools, with exposure to silicon-photonics.

Qualifications

• PhD student in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.
• Experience in analog/mixed-signal design and simulations (ADCs, DACs, CTLEs, PLLs, clocking).
• Familiar with MATLAB, SPICE, and industry CAD tools for simulation and design.

Responsibilities

• Define circuit architectures optimized for high-bandwidth links.
• Perform link-level simulations using MATLAB and SPICE.
• Contribute to design and modeling of on-die RF components and optical structures.
• Assist in design/implementation of DACs, SAR-ADCs, sample-and-hold, analog front ends, PLLs, and clock networks in advanced FinFET tech.
• Gain exposure to high-speed ADC/DAC receivers and silicon-photonics transceivers.
