    Position summary

    its.

    • Drive architecture definition, feasibility analysis, and design trade-offs considering signal integrity, power, noise, and packaging parasitics.

    • Perform schematic design, simulation, and optimization across PVT corners using industry-standard EDA tools.

    • Work closely with advanced package teams (2.5D / 3D, interposers, organic substrates) to co-optimize circuit and package design.

    • Support layout reviews, parasitic extraction analysis, and post-layout sign-off for high-speed performance.

    • Collaborate with AMS verification, digital, and system teams to enable full-chip integration and validation.

    • Participate in silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization, including correlation with simulation results.

    • Contribute to design methodology, checklists, and best practices for high-speed analog and D2D designs.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering or related field.

    • 5+ years of hands-on experience in analog / mixed-signal IC design.

    • Strong experience with high-speed interface design (e.g., DDR, PCIe, SerDes, Die-to-Die links).

    • Solid understanding of UCIe standard concepts, D2D PHY requirements, and chiplet architectures.

    • Experience working with advanced packaging technologies and understanding package-induced effects on high-speed signaling.

    • Proficiency in schematic-level design, simulation, and debug across PVT corners.

    • Strong fundamentals in analog circuit theory, signal integrity, noise analysis, and clocking.

    Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

    • Direct hands-on experience with UCIe PHY design or integration.

    • Exposure to AMS verification flows and mixed-signal simulation environments.

    • Experience with post-silicon debug and correlation.

    • Knowledge of power integrity, thermal considerations, and package-aware design flows.

    • Ability to mentor junior engineers and lead technical discussions.

    What Success Looks Like

    • Robust, scalable UCIe / D2D analog IPs meeting performance, power, and reliability targets.
    • Smooth collaboration across design, verification, and packaging teams.
    • Predictable execution aligned with project milestones and KPIs / OKRs.
    • Strong ownership mindset from architecture to silicon.
