## Description

This is a hybrid role that can be performed three days per week from our Ottawa office.

As a Principal member of the Mixed Signal Design team, you will be a key member of a small, dynamic IC Design group that develops high speed (>25Gb/s), and high accuracy, analog designs for optical communications products.

Responsibilities:

- Lead efforts for a large block on a complex chip, mentor team members and track deliverables, participate in peer review of complex IC designs and provide solid design methodology from conception to production.

- Collaborate with packaging and hardware design team to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met.

- Develop high speed AMS circuits and best-in-class products that push the boundaries of what is possible.

- Participate in our friendly and team-oriented collaboration approach, which means you enjoy learning from your colleagues and letting them learn from you.

Minimum qualifications:

- Bachelors + 15 years of related experience, or Masters + 10 years of related experience, or PhD + 7 years of related experience.

- Experience in the design, simulation, and measurement of high-speed ICs across at least three of the following areas: SerDes/serial links, output drivers, Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), clock distribution, Opamps/PGAs, or equalization techniques.

- Direct experience as a leader of a team working on high performance circuits.

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience with electrical transceiver applications including backplane and cable communications.

- Experience in FinFET and GAA technologies.

- High-frequency layout experience including floorplaning (power/ground, digital/analog signal routing), passives components (inductors, transformers, and transmission-lins).

- Experience in design for manufacturability including characterization over PVT, electromigration analysis, self-heating, and IR drop analysis.

- Experience in laboratory validation including ESD practices/methodology and construction of test setups.

- Experience in design software including Cadence (Virtuoso), Specture/APS/SpectreX, layout validation tools (Virtuoso and Calibre), EMX, mixed-signal simulations in AMS, and Matlab.

Benefits:

- Medical, dental and vision insurance

- 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution

- Paid parental leave

- Short and long-term disability coverage

- Basic life insurance

- Paid time away (vacation, holidays, sick time)

- Opportunities for professional growth and development
