Reports to: Group Director
Job Overview:
The Cadence Serdes PHY team based at our R&D center of excellence in Cork, is seeking ambitious analog designers who wish to work on the leading edge of Wireline technology at the highest data rates (112Gbps+) and on the smallest technology nodes (e.g. 3nm ).
The PHY team designs products for communication protocols such as PCIe (now at Gen 7) and UCIe (emerging Chiplets standard).
The Senior Principal Analog Design Engineer will take a Technical Leadership role on the PMA design team as part of a SERDES Product Team.
Job Responsibilities:
Design of High Speed SERDES products at data rates up to and exceeding 112 Gbps on leading edge technology nodes (e.g. 3nm FinFET CMOS)
Design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications
Work closely with Physical Design Engineers to design IC circuit blocks and PMA sections
Participate in technical leadership of the team in the areas of circuit design and SERDES architectures
Work with global teams (US, west coast and east coast), which work in different time-zones
Job Qualifications:
Candidate's background should include a minimum of 7 years of experience in CMOS SERDES or high-speed I/O IC design and development
Working knowledge of a set of common SERDES standards and their electrical requirements
Must have a thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques
Proficient design experience in many of the following SERDES circuit blocks: Driver, Receiver, Serializer, Deserializer, Phase Interpolator, Low jitter PLL, High Speed Clock Distribution, Bias and Bandgap, Voltage Regulators
Excellent problem-solving skills, analog aptitude, good communication skills and ability to work cooperatively in a team environment
BEng, MEng or PhD
Additional Skills/Preferences:
We're doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can't.
