My client is a leading IC design house known for most cutting-edge technology. They are looking for an experienced Serdes IC Design Leader to manage a top-talents team.

 

Responsibilities:

 

Design, develop and verify new products to meet product and process development requirements. Ownership of analog circuits used in SerDes, including evaluation of different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g., Rx, CDR, Tx, bias generator, clock generation and distribution, etc.). Get along with multi-functional teams to define requirements/specs (e.g., modeling, package, board, DFT, ESD, etc.). Provide technical support to manufacturing during pilot, runs/tests. Craft block-level specifications based on link-budget, behavioral modeling, and transistor-level feasibility. Work closely with mask design to implement layout view of designs. Hold design reviews of blocks with peers/management to show design meets spec targets and requirements. Participate in projects and other adhoc duties assigned

 

Qualifications:

 

PhD in Electrical Engineering or other relative fields; Deep knowledge in high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB SATA, etc.). Strong knowledge of analog CMOS designs and topologies. Deep experience with Tx & Rx equalization techniques and circuits. Deep experience in analyzing link jitter budget for high-speed serial links and creating block level requirements. Strong knowledge of different CDR architectures. Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links and defining equipment needs Fluent Chinese speaking capability as this role will closely work with China office.
