Hybrid position in the office 2 days a week minimum for our client’s Broadband Analog Group who designs physical layer ICs for high-speed fiber optic data communication TIAs, SiPho, EAMs and MZMs. Responsible for design and validation of FET and BiCMOS circuits for high-speed broadband ICs that serve these application.
Job Responsibilities
Development of multi-tens of GHz Transimpedance amplifiers TIAs. These optical interface chips are tightly coupled with our high-performance equalizers. The results of our innovative designs have made our TIAs best in class for coherent long-haul and metro systems as well as PAM4 data center systems.
In this role you will be responsible for:
- Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.
- Design leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in SiGe, BiCMOS, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.
- Develop transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.
- Design of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.
- Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.
- Develop microarchitecture of chips and major circuit blocks and guide a team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.
- Work with other functional groups to drive post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.
- Work with management and marketing to define parts and translate the specifications and definitions into circuit implementation
Job requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design
15+ years experience Or MSc EE 10-12+ Or PhD EE with 10+ years of experience in the areas of design of high-performance RFAnalog Receiver/TIA design.
Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry). Using EDA CAD tools. Performing Analog Custom Layout.
Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements
Detailed transistor level design, Device physics, Control/Feedback loop stability analysis and AGC loop design.
High precision analog circuits (linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps and DAC/ADC)
Experience in CTLE design and in Package-System integration issues desired; with SiGe BiCMOS is a plus
