As a Principal SerDes Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining SerDes system models for NRZ and PAM4 transceivers targeting PCIe (128Gbps+) and Ethernet (200Gbps+) standards. You will also run comprehensive system simulations to verify and sign-off design performance across multiple protocols and channels.

What you'll do

  • Developing and maintaining SerDes system models for NRZ and PAM4 transceivers targeting PCIe (128Gbps+) and Ethernet (200Gbps+) standards.
  • Running comprehensive system simulations to verify and sign-off design performance across multiple protocols and channels.

What you need

  • M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • Strong experience modeling circuits and systems in MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Expertise in designing high-speed analog CMOS circuits.
  • Solid understanding of DSP and communications theory, including equalization, coding, and noise/crosstalk filtering.
  • Proficiency in analyzing link budgets for NRZ and/or PAM4 high-speed serial links.
  • Familiarity with wireline protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204C, CPRI) and optical protocols (LINEAR, RTLR).
  • Experience with circuit topologies used in high-speed SerDes Tx/Rx and Tx/Rx equalization techniques.
  • Hands-on lab testing for high-speed serial links and proficiency in C/Verilog-A/systemVerilog.
