System Architecture Team  

You will be part of an R&D team developing 32Gbps NRZ and 112Gbps PAM4 serial-link transceivers. Specifically, you will be responsible for modelling, design, analysis, and algorithms the transmitter and receiver mixed signal (analog and digital) front-end.   We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers, and hardware engineers. 
 
You will be involved in all stages of development including: 

Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver 

Modelling:   design and maintenance of the system level model 

Sign-off: system level simulation of the design performance across multiple protocols and channels 

Silicon: qualification and correlation of performance and algorithms in silicon 

Customers:  assisting customers on system level performance and algorithmic issues  

Required: You have an Masters or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering. 

Due to the cross disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following:

Modelling - experience in Matlab/C/systemVerilog modeling of circuits and systems 

Analog – background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design 

Digital – experience with DSP 

Hardware – awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation ; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance 

Communications theory – equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering 

Beneficial Experience:  

Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links 

Familiarity with modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in Matlab or similar tool 

Knowledge of circuit topologies in high-speed Rx/Tx SerDes PHY 

Understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques. 

Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics 

Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including PCIe, Ethernet, JESD, and CPRI 

Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links
