  • Experience in high-speed serial links.
  • Solid understanding of designing analog mixed-signal circuit blocks.
  • Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols like PCIe, USB, DP, and MPHY.
  • Hands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production.

Responsibilities

  • Own the SerDes system bring-up, validation, and debug processes.
  • Work with design teams to understand architecture and define DFT needs.
  • Be involved in mixed-signal verification tasks to understand SerDes operation.
  • Develop test plans and analyze data to ensure robust IP design.
  • Drive lab and production testing, debug, and data analysis.
