• Deep knowledge of SerDes sub-blocks (TX/RX, ADC, DAC, etc.).
• Experience modeling analog impairments (jitter, noise, offsets, etc.).
• Proficiency with SPICE tools, Python/TCL/Perl/C/C++, and UVM.

Who You Are:

• Collaborative and adaptable across analog/digital teams.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and improvement-focused.
• Strong communicator and mentor.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

Join a collaborative, innovative group of analog and mixed-signal experts focused on delivering industry-leading SerDes IP for cutting-edge silicon.
