SerDes Design Engineer

Position -Staff SerDes Design Engineer We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Principal/Staff SerDes Design Engineer to join our team developing next-generation high-performance wireline transceivers. You will design high-speed and high-performance AMS circuits for SerDes PHY IPs implemented in advanced technology nodes. This role requires strong technical depth in SerDes architectures, analog/mixed-signal circuit design, and hands-on experience in validating high-speed PHY designs. About the Role This role involves designing and developing high-speed SerDes circuits, including TX, RX, PLL, CDR, DLL, VCO, phase interpolators, bias generators, and clocking circuits. Responsibilities Design and develop high-speed SerDes circuits, including TX, RX, PLL, CDR, DLL, VCO, phase interpolators, bias generators, and clocking circuits. Evaluate and implement different analog and AMS topologies to achieve best-in-class Power, Performance, and Area (PPA). Perform detailed transistor-level circuit simulations, modeling, and analysis using industry-standard tools. Work closely with layout engineers to ensure optimum layout practices and physical implementation. Drive silicon validation, bring-up, and lab characterization of SerDes blocks. Debug complex AMS issues and provide timely technical resolutions. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define specifications and ensure system-level alignment. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team capability building and knowledge sharing. Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. 10+ years of hands-on experience in SerDes circuit design. Strong background in analog/mixed-signal design, high-speed links, and clocking circuits. Expertise in high-speed digital design, equalization, and signal integrity concepts. Proficiency with simulation tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE, etc. Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, BERT, VNA, spectrum analyzer, etc.). Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills. Required Skills Strong technical depth in SerDes architectures. Analog/mixed-signal circuit design. Hands-on experience in validating high-speed PHY designs. Preferred Skills Experience with advanced technology nodes. Collaboration with cross-functional teams.
