About the role
- We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of high-speed SerDes and mixed-signal subsystems for a next-generation SoC.
- This is a highly collaborative, in-office role based in Austin, TX, working closely with cross-functional teams locally while also partnering with engineers in our London and Bristol offices to drive coordinated, global execution.
- This role spans the full design lifecycle, from circuit implementation through post-silicon validation, across serializers, clock generation, equalization, and supporting analog blocks, requiring strong hands-on circuit design skills and a solid grasp of high-speed signaling fundamentals.
Responsibilities
- Architect and design high-speed SerDes blocks (serializers, TX drivers, TIAs, CTLEs, CDRs, deserializers, and clock generation) from specification through silicon in advanced FinFET nodes.
- Perform schematic and post-layout simulations (including EM-IR and reliability simulations) to ensure robust silicon margins, and own design reviews and documentation.
- Develop behavioral and Verilog-A models to enable system-level and mixed-signal verification.
- Collaborate with optical, digital, and system teams on interfaces and link-level performance.
- Support post-silicon bring-up, lab validation, and debug..
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
- Strong analog mixed-signal design background with hands-on SerDes experience at data rates of 25 Gbps or higher.
- Expertise in advanced FinFET nodes with solid grasp of device physics, parasitics, and layout-sensitive design.
- Experience developing behavioral and Verilog-A models for mixed-signal verification.
Requirements
- Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and industry-standard simulation flows including PVT, Monte Carlo, EM-IR, and reliability analysis.
- Familiarity with post-silicon bring-up, lab measurement equipment, and correlating measured data to simulation.
Compensation
- Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location
Benefits
- Employer-contributed retirement plans to help you build long-term financial security.
- Meaningful stock options.
- To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office
