Senior Manager - System Architecture Team

Senior Manager - System Architecture Team

You will be leading a system architecture team tasked in developing >=32Gbps NRZ and >=112Gbps PAM4 serial-link transceivers. We are looking for a manager with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers, and hardware engineers.

The team is involved in all stages of development including:

• Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver
• Modelling: design and maintenance of the system level model
• Sign-off: system level simulation of the design performance across multiple protocols and channels
• Silicon: qualification and correlation of performance and algorithms in silicon
• Customers: assisting customers on system level performance and algorithmic issues
  
  

You have an MSc or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering.

Due to the cross disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following…

• Modelling - experience in C/Matlab/Verilog-A/systemVerilog modeling of circuits and systems
• Analog – solid background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design
• Digital – experience with DSP
• Hardware – awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation ; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance
• Communications theory – equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering
  
  

Beneficial Experience:

• Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links
• Familiarity with modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in Matlab or similar tool
• Knowledge of circuit topologies in high-speed Rx/Tx SerDes PHY
• Understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques.
• Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics
• Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including PCIe5, 10G/25G/56G/112G Ethernet, JESD204C, CPRI
• Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links
