Job Description

Join our innovative team as a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Design Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in designing high-speed drivers, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), and control systems specifically for optical communication applications. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to the architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of electronic circuits integrated with photonic circuits. Our dynamic work environment encourages creativity and teamwork, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development. Embrace the opportunity to tackle exciting challenges that push the boundaries of technology and drive impactful innovations in the optical communication space.



Design high-speed drivers, TIAs (trans-impedance amplifiers), and control systems for optical communication applications. Collaborate on architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of circuits integrated with photonic components. Drive high-speed communication product development through innovative solutions. Stay current with advancements in CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor), silicon photonics, and optical communications to enhance design approaches.

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical work experience. Background in high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, with fundamental concepts such as: circuit noise and linearity, linear amplifiers, low noise linear trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), AGC (automatic gain control) circuits and linear equalizers. Experience in testing and debugging analog and mixed signal high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) as well as experience with physical design and verification (passive component design using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and HFSS, EMX).



It would be nice if you also had:


Familiarity with CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) design and manufacturing, including SiGe (Silicon Germanium) and BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor). Experience with silicon photonics and optical communications. Publications and a record of innovation. Familiarity with digital flow (synthesis, static timing, place and route), particularly in the context of state machines for mixed-signal control systems. Background in wireline communication and equalization; familiarity with SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer), CDR (clock-and-data recovery), PLL (phase locked loop), ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).
