SENIOR STAFF SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

The AMD SerDes team in Ireland are hiring for an SMTS level Analog Circuit Design Engineer to work on SerDes products up to 200+Gbps on the latest CMOS FinFET nodes. The AMD team have extensive experience in the design of circuits for the high speed transmission and recovery of data over wired links, including

• High-speed (100GSps+) data Converters for signal recovery(ADC) and transmit signal conditioning(DAC)

• Continuous Time Equalisers with programmable gain and B/W up to 60+GHz

• Injection Locked Oscillators for multi-phase clock generation

• High speed clock distribution and correction circuits

• Custom Digital circuits for data serialisation

• High-speed wired channel termination and driver circuits

The successful candidate will work with a world class team in the development of SerDes solutions to facilitate the future connectivity of AMD CPU, GPU and FPGA products.

THE ROLE:

The role requires the development of high-speed and high-performance analog circuits at the lowest power possible. The candidate would be expected to have extensive experience in the design and verification of analog circuits and systems, and be familiar with layout floor-planning, layout dependent effects and post-layout verification.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for high speed analog circuit design and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Analog circuit design of different circuits related to SerDes phy development to meet block level design specifications

• Verification of circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets are achieved using industry standard tools and methodologies.

• Regular presentation and sharing of design progress to peers

• Participating in design reviews of other circuits both for identifying potential issues and also from a learning perspective.

• Communication with SerDes circuit team members at other sites for the purposes of sharing ideas.

• Feeding back circuit performance information to the architecture team for the purposes of system modelling.

• Support of the system level verification team in the modelling of analog circuits in Verilog and in the debug of identified issues

• Assist with silicon bring up and debug.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Good analog circuit design and analysis skills

• Experience with industry standard schematic entry and circuit simulation tools and methodologies

• Good programming / scripting skills

• Familiarity with the impact of layout effects on circuit design

• Experience with circuit floor planning.

• Previous experience on high speed circuit design would be a benefit.

• Experience in silicon debug, verification and characterization

• Good interpersonal/teamwork skills

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering
