Analog Design Architecture Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Markham, Canada · Engineering

This role is for an Analog Design Architecture Engineer at AMD, focusing on high-performance electrical and optical transceivers. The responsibilities include micro-architecture definition, implementation, verification, and documentation of transceiver components, as well as electrical/optical link budgeting and modeling. The role requires a background in electrical/optical PHY circuit/logic design and micro-architecture, with preferred experience in data converters and advanced PDK design. While the company mentions AI and data centers, the core responsibilities of this specific role are in analog circuit design for transceivers, not AI/ML model development or deployment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Transceiver circuit/link micro-architecture definition, implementation, verification, and documentation: clock generation and distribution, data path, DSP, CDR, calibration & adaptation loops
  2. Top-level and block-level electrical/optical link budgeting and modeling.
  3. Circuit design spec definition of transceiver building blocks (ADC, DAC, PLL, clock distribution, receiver front-end, transmitter front-end, serializer, deserializer, etc.)
