Principal SerDes Systems Engineer

We are seeking a Principal SerDes Systems Engineer to join our team. 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.

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.
• Designing and proposing advanced algorithms to calibrate and adapt transceivers for optimal performance.
• Correlating simulated performance with silicon measurements to ensure accuracy and reliability.
• Providing expert assistance to customers for system-level performance issues and troubleshooting.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams of analog, digital, and hardware engineers throughout all stages of development.
• Contributing to lab testing and analysis for high-speed serial links, ensuring robust design validation.

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.
