KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Analog circuit design of different circuits related to SerDes phy development to meet block level design specifications
Verification of circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets are achieved using industry standard tools and methodologies.
Regular presentation and sharing of design progress to peers
Participating in design reviews of other circuits both for identifying potential issues and also from a learning perspective.
Communication with SerDes circuit team members at other sites for the purposes of sharing ideas.
Feading back circuit performance information to the architecture team for the purposes of system modelling.
Support of the system level verification team in the modelling of analog circuits in Verilog and in the debug of identified issues
Assist with silicon bring up and debug.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

Good analog circuit design and analysis skills
Experience with industry standard schematic entry and circuit simulation tools and methodologies
Good programming / scripting skills
Familiarity with the impact of layout effects on circuit design
Experience with circuit floorplanning.
Previous experience on high speed circuit design would be a benefit.
