Analog/mixed-signal Serdes Design Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Markham, Canada · Engineering

Analog/Mixed-signal SerDes Design Engineer at AMD, focusing on high-speed receiver and transmitter design using advanced CMOS processes. Responsibilities include circuit architecture definition, link-level simulation, and modeling of RF passive components and optical structures.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define circuit architectures optimized for high bandwidth electrical and optical links
  2. Perform link level simulation in Matlab and/or SPICE to prove the architecture
  3. Perform design and modeling of on-die RF passive components (e.g., inductors and capacitors) and/or optical structures
  4. Design circuit components (e.g., DAC, SAR-ADC, S/H, Analog Front-End, PLL, reference generation, clock distribution) required to implement the architecture in advanced FinFET process
