Key Responsibilities:
Define and develop state-of-the-art SoCs tailored for modern communication infrastructures, balancing performance, power efficiency, and cost
Translate system-level requirements into detailed block specifications for internal and external design teams
Build and maintain system-level models of data converters using MATLAB and Verilog to simulate performance under various operating modes
Collaborate with both analog and digital implementation teams to validate design integrity and functionality
Perform end-to-end simulations of the signal chain using mixed-signal methodologies
Create and manage top-level simulations to verify mode operation and ensure proper implementation of design features
Work alongside a global team of highly skilled ASIC developers
Contribute to team effectiveness through knowledge sharing, peer reviews, and collaborative problem-solving
Required Qualifications:
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with 7+ years of experience modeling radio systems or data converters in MATLAB
Solid understanding of communications standards and how they relate to both wireless and wired technologies
In-depth knowledge and experience in at least three of the following areas: high-speed DACs, SerDes circuits, broadband drivers, low-jitter PLLs, low-noise clock architectures, opamps/VGAs, or DSP-based equalization
Proven ability to work independently while coordinating effectively with broader design teams
Willingness to travel occasionally to locations in the U.S. and Europe
Must be a current U.S. resident with valid work authorization
Preferred Experience:
Background in mixed-signal design across both analog and digital subsystems
Experience in BiCMOS design environments
Familiarity with analog design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Verilog-AMS, Spectre, Xcelium, and AMS-Designer
Knowledge of SerDes front-end architecture, including concepts like CDR, DFE, CTLE, and jitter analysis
