Lead Analog Serdes Architect/design Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · California, Santa Clara, United States

Lead Analog SerDes Architect/Design Engineer at Intel, focusing on high-speed connectivity for data centers. Responsibilities include defining circuit architecture, leading block level development, designing mixed-signal integrated circuits, and guiding junior engineers and test plan development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Defining circuit architecture and enabling designs meeting power, and performance for next generation optical interconnects based on system specifications.
  2. As part of the team developing key integrated circuit components the engineer must be able to work collaboratively leading block level development.
  3. Specify, architect and design low voltage and low power Mixed-Signal integrated circuits and work collaboratively with digital designers.
  4. Plan design work with constraints on performance, schedule and quality.
  5. Provide guidance to junior designers and layout engineers.
