Analog Design Engineer

IPG/HSIO is chartered to provide high-speed serial link IPs to various internal and external SoCs within the Intel eco-system. Key IPs that we work on include PCI Gen6 and 80 Gbps Type-C USB PHYs.

Analog Design Engineer is responsible for analog circuit design and corresponding sign-off verification (functional, reliability, mixed-signal verification, etc.) for custom circuits like CTLE, DCO, DFE, Tx, and high-speed clocking along with leading teams of junior engineers, driving the closure of macro-blocks and IPs, and mentoring junior engineers.

What we are looking for is strong hands-on technical skill in high-speed mixed-signal circuit design, initiative, ability to think in terms of the overall system and take the decisions necessary to build a better solution for Intel, ability to work in teams, ability to handle pressure, and communicate both up and down the chain effectively.

Objectives of the position:

• Own and deliver the Circuit Design/Sign-off verification of high-speed serial link building blocks.
• Drive post-silicon electrical validation, post-silicon debug, and high-volume manufacturing support for the IPs.
• Groom the junior team members towards technical excellence, drive innovation in the team, and harvest publications/patents.
• Work with internal stakeholders such as post-silicon validation teams, mask design for circuit implementation, and logic design to design the analog/digital interface.
• Continuously drive the turnaround time, robustness of circuit design, and area/power of IPs.

Desired Competencies and Experiences:

• Experience in working with cutting-edge silicon technologies.
• Deep understanding of circuit design/physical design of analog designs on advanced process technologies.
• Expertise on high-speed serial link design. Hands-on experience in blocks like Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE), Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO), Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE), NRZ/PAM-3/4 Transmitter, and high-speed clocking.
• Expertise in working with post-silicon test engineers.
• Expertise on reliability-aware design and familiarity with aging and RV tools. Ability to design floor plan and routing in layout.
• Good grasp on industry standard tools such as Cadence design environment (ADEXL or Virtuoso). Knowledge of DRC, LVS, and post-layout extraction tools, etc.
• Familiarity with RTL behavioral coding and simulations, timing extractions of custom blocks.
• Strong communicator and proven leadership experience, self-driven, proactive nature to own and deliver high-quality end-to-end analog designs.
• Fast learner, good problem-solving skills, multitasking ability, and attention to quality and detail.
• Experience with MATLAB and serial link system analysis will be a major plus.

Qualifications:

• BS/MS - EE/CS and 10+ years of industry experience.
