My client is a leading IC design house known for most cutting-edge technology. They are looking for an experienced Serdes IC Design Leader to manage a top-talents team.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop and verify new products to meet product and process development requirements.
- Ownership of analog circuits used in SerDes, including evaluation of different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g., Rx, CDR, Tx, bias generator, clock generation and distribution, etc.).
- Get along with multi-functional teams to define requirements/specs (e.g., modeling, package, board, DFT, ESD, etc.).
- Provide technical support to manufacturing during pilot, runs/tests.
- Craft block-level specifications based on link-budget, behavioral modeling, and transistor-level feasibility.
- Work closely with mask design to implement layout view of designs.
- Hold design reviews of blocks with peers/management to show design meets spec targets and requirements.
- Participate in projects and other adhoc duties assigned
Qualifications:
- PhD in Electrical Engineering or other relative fields;
- Deep knowledge in high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB SATA, etc.).
- Strong knowledge of analog CMOS designs and topologies.
- Deep experience with Tx & Rx equalization techniques and circuits.
- Deep experience in analyzing link jitter budget for high-speed serial links and creating block level requirements.
- Strong knowledge of different CDR architectures.
- Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links and defining equipment needs
- Fluent Chinese speaking capability as this role will closely work with China office.
