THE ROLE:

We are searching for a senior system engineer to join our PHY team developing high speed links (>32Gbps, PAM4) for Graphics and other future technologies. The role is to understand the system limitations and architect solutions for SI, PI and that provide the PHY/Link with best PPA trade-off. Work closely with the SI and PI teams to drive the architecture proposals. The role also involves developing/maintaining system models in Matlab/Python or other equivalent environment to help provide architectural trade-offs, SI / Routing studies, Ball map proposals, Power integrity, Understand equalizer solutions, adaptation schemes, etc.

THE PERSON:

The successful candidate will possess:

• All aspects of Signal and Power integrity
• Excellent understanding of S-parameters, Channel response, Equalizer trade-offs.
• Experience with implementing various adaptation algorithms in Matlab, Python, etc.
• Good understanding of various analog impairments (distortion, noise, jitter etc.)
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills along with attention to details
• Must be a self-starter, able to drive tasks independently and efficiently to completion
• Strong/effective communication skills
• Enthusiastic team-first mentality
• Ability to provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers
• Relevant academic background (M. degree preferred) and at least 10 years' progressive experience

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Implement and maintain system model for link budgeting and analysis
• Drive Link budgeting studies using system model and arrive at optimal specifications
• IO/Link Model generation. Work with analog engineers to model critical aspects of PHY
• provide critical feedback to PHY engineers on model performance vs spec over design cycle

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Implementation of system model in Matlab/Python to understand system trade-offs
• Develop Link budgets and drive trade-off analysis for PHY specifications
• SI and PI for Package, PCB of SOCs
• Implementing algorithms in firmware, and post silicon bring up efforts
• At least 10 years' progressive experience in high speed Links
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux environments, Matlab, C, Python

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Relevant academic background (Master's degree preferred)
