## Description

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.
