Analog Design, Staff Engineer

Kanata, ON - Mississauga, ON, Canada

Job Description


and RequirementsIn this role, you will work on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed (>100Gbps) analog integrated circuits in the latest FinFET process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our environment is best in class with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team. Our Interface IP group in Mississauga, ON is looking for an enthusiastic person to join our team. You will be working with a cross functional team of analog and mixed signal circuit designers from a wide variety of backgrounds on design and methodology. This position requires sound technical experience in full custom analog/mixed-signal circuit design, custom layout, circuit simulations, reliability investigation, post-silicon characterization and a deep understanding of silicon IP design requirements with the ability to drive and train junior engineers to become experts with new methodologies.Job Responsibilities

  • Review SerDes standards to develop analog top and sub-block specifications.
  • Ability to drive projects and guide junior engineers.
  • Exercise independent judgement to identify and refine circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area and performance targets.
  • Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure highest quality design.
  • Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
  • Review and present simulation data for peer and customer review.
  • Define and document design features and test plans.
  • Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor\'s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar technical field
  • BSEE degree and 3+ years of experience in IC design, or MSEE (or PhD) with 1+ years of experience.
  • Design experience in high speed PHY
  • In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals
  • Design experience with one, and familiarity with several other SerDes sub-circuits:
  • receive equalizers,
  • samplers,
  • voltage/current-mode drivers,
  • serializers, deserializers,
  • voltage-controlled oscillator,
  • phase mixer,
  • delay-locked loop, phase locked loop,
  • bandgap reference,
  • ADC, DAC.
  • Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed critical paths).
  • Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.)
  • Expertise of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
  • Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
  • Expertise of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
  • Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
  • Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired
  • Hands-on experience with physical layout of high-speed circuits is a plus
  • Good communication and documentation skills
