Job Description:

One of our Semiconductor clients is seeking a Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer to lead the development of cutting-edge SerDes products for automotive applications, specifically within the GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) technology space. This role involves architecting and designing high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits such as Rx equalizers, CDRs, PLLs, and Tx drivers, while providing technical leadership throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate and Develop Architectures: Create and specify individual circuit blocks. Perform system-level analysis to develop optimal system implementations.
• Circuit Ownership: Oversee analog and mixed-signal circuits used in automotive SerDes products throughout the product development cycle.
• Design and Verification: Conduct detailed circuit design, simulations, and verification of high-performance SerDes and auxiliary circuits, including Rx equalizers, DFEs, CDR, Tx drivers, clock generation (VCO, PLL, dividers, etc.), and bias circuitry.
• Technical Leadership: Provide technical leadership for complex SerDes products.
• Layout Supervision: Supervise layout and conduct post-layout simulations.
• Documentation and Reviews: Prepare documentation and conduct design reviews.
• Lab Evaluation and Debug: Perform lab evaluation and debug.
• Cross-Functional Interaction: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and specifications. Assist in production test development.

Qualifications :

• MSEE or Equivalent: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Advanced Knowledge: Expertise in high-speed SerDes circuits, including Rx equalizers, DFEs, CDR, Tx drivers, clock generation (VCO, PLL, dividers, etc.), and bias circuitry.
• Communication Skills: Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills, with team working experience and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Proven Track Record: Demonstrated success in designing, leading, and introducing products to the market.
• Technical Leadership: Ability to provide technical leadership across a wide range of engineering disciplines on highly complex products, processes, and projects.
• Cadence Tools Expertise: Extensive experience with and advanced knowledge of Cadence design, simulation, layout, and verification tools for analog and mixed-signal designs.
• Semiconductor Background: Solid understanding of semiconductor basics, including the device physics of CMOS transistors, diodes, MIM capacitors, integrated inductors, and implanted resistors.
• Transistor-Level Design: Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level design, with good working knowledge of small signal and large signal CMOS device models.
• Circuit Analysis Skills: Extensive circuit analysis skills, recognizing potential problems due to model limitations, high-frequency effects, and device temperature effects.
• Lab Experience: Experience characterizing and debugging mixed-signal SoCs in a lab environment, using signal generators, oscilloscopes, BERTs, logic analyzers, and data acquisition systems.
• Package and Layout Intuition: Good intuition of package and layout parasitics, with experience in extracted simulations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Video Protocols: Expertise in video protocols such as DisplayPort, CSI/DSI, HDMI, and PCIe.
• Behavioral Modeling: Experience with analog and digital behavioral modeling, design, and synthesis of digital control blocks and state machines.
• DSP Design: Proficiency in Matlab and design of DSP blocks, including digital filters and decimators.
• Automated Digital Design: Familiarity with automated digital design tools and processes, including Verilog, synthesis, place & route, and static timing analysis (STA).
