Job Description:

As a Hardware Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and optimizing cutting-edge interface buffer chips for DDR/LP5/5X/6, chiplets and beyond in the latest FinFET process nodes. Your expertise in DDR I/Os, chip-chip interface I/Os and receiver (RX) design will be pivotal in developing high-performance solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Working with the chip team to understand specifications and identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies.

• Design, simulation and optimization of high-speed DDR circuits and chiplet I/Os.

• Design and enhance transmitter and receiver circuits including CTLE, VGA, DFE and slicers focusing on performance metrics such as sensitivity, linearity and power consumption.

• Investigate and develop circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks and lead to revolutionary improvements in power, area and performance targets

• Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics and process variation.

• Conduct thorough simulations to validate design performance and reliability. Troubleshoot and implement corrective actions as needed.

• Create clear and detailed design reports.

• Analyze customer silicon data for design enhancement.

• Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies. Suggest and implement innovative solutions to enhance product performance and capabilities.

Qualifications:

• Education: Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience: At least 10 years of experience in analog design, with a focus on high-speed RX and Analog-Front-End design.

• Experience with FinFET technologies.

• Expertise in high-speed DDR I/O interface, chip-chip interface design and optimization.

• Strong knowledge of analog receiver circuits such as CTLE, DFE, FEE.

• Sound knowledge of transmitter circuits such as FIR filter, slew rate control, voltage and current mode drivers.

• Knowledge of design for reliability ( EM, IR, aging, self-heating ) and layout effects (matching, reliability, proximity effects etc.)

• Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed logic paths, Serializer, De-serializer).

• Proficiency with analog design tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Maestro, Spectre, HSPICE) and simulation techniques.

• Understanding of signal integrity, timing analysis and power management.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to resolve complex design challenges

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information to stakeholders.

• Teamwork: Ability to work effectively within a cross-functional team and manage multiple priorities

• Familiarity with industry standards and protocols related to DDR I/O, chiplet I/O and RX design
