Responsibilities

As a member of the Mixed Signal Design team, you will be a key member of a small, dynamic IC Design group that develops high speed (>25Gb/s), and high accuracy, analog designs for optical communications products.

You will architect, design, layout, measure and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products.

You will work on large block for a complex chip and collaborate with our packaging and hardware design team to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met.

You will work with other Acacia mixed-signal engineers to collaborate in order to provide an optimized design that will integrate into the ASIC.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to interact with other Acacia groups including digital/DSP design, system design, package design, and module design.
