AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE: 

The SerDes Architecture and Modeling Group has responsibilities in generating robust SerDes architecture and algorithms, creating silicon and system level specifications, developing and verifying SerDes design models, developing IBIS-AMI models for system level simulations and for customers, evaluating system performance margin trade-offs, analyzing system SI and PI, and bringing up and characterizing silicon.

THE PERSON: 

The right candidate will be a system architect who can join our fast paced transceiver design team. Our team stays ahead of the technology curve to deliver world-class programmable transceiver solutions for multiple FPGA platforms, supporting over 20 protocols with thousands of customer applications. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Signal processing, data coding, and FEC algorithm
• SerDes architecture development including equalizers and time recovery for NRZ and PAM4 systems
• Behavioral modeling of different blocks in transceivers
• Familiarity with optical link analysis and evaluation is a plus
• Presenting design trade-off analyses and implementation recommendations with custom circuit designers

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Signal modulation, coding, and FEC knowledge and experience
• Architecture experience with transceiver equalizers (TX FIR, RX analog FFE, CTLE, and DFE) - DSP (FFE, DFE, MLSD/MLSE) experience is preferred
• Architecture experience with transceiver timing recovery, such as high speed PLLs, CDRs, etc.
• ADC based SerDes architecture experience is a plus
• Experience with using and developing transceiver modeling, analysis, and characterization tools - IBIS-AMI model development experience is a plus
• Familiarity with Simulink/Matlab, C/C++ programming, Python
• Experience with lab equipment for high-speed digital systems
• Good background of statistics and signal processing
• Good understanding of SI/PI basics for high-speed serial links
• Excellent technical communication skills (presentations and documentation)
• Team player 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• MSEE and/or Ph.D. preferred in Telecommunications and/or Signal Processing
