Responsibilities
Architect and model end-to-end wireline communication systems using MATLAB, Simulink, SystemVerilog, C/C++, and Python to support modeling, verification, and architectural exploration
Devise novel DSP techniques to push the envelope of performance for ultra-high-speed wireline systems
Develop models that accurately capture performance, interface characteristics, and key non-idealities or impairments (e.g., bandwidth limitations, jitter, noise, distortion) of key analog blocks
Collaborate closely with other system architects to explore design trade-offs, validate architectural assumptions, and refine system-level specifications
Model analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks (e.g., CTLEs, ADCs, PLLs, TX/RX front-ends) using SystemVerilog or other HDLs to support functional design verification and system-level integration
Work with analog designers and signal integrity engineers to ensure model fidelity and alignment with physical implementation
Support lab testing and debugging of prototype systems and silicon bring-up
Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across modeling and verification efforts
Author technical documentation, modeling guidelines, and contribute to customer-facing deliverables
Qualification
Required
PhD or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5-10+ years of experience in system modeling and analog abstraction for wireline communication systems
Solid knowledge of DSP techniques for ultra-high speed wireline systems
Solid knowledge of equalization techniques used in wireline channels, including Continuous-Time Linear Equalizers (CTLE), Feed-Forward Equalizers (FFE), and Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE)
Very good understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit behavior and abstraction techniques
Experience with SerDes standards such as PCI Express (PCIe), Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), or other high-speed interconnect protocols
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
Strong communication and collaboration abilities
Strong proficiency in System Verilog, Verilog, MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, Python, and scripting tools
