Engineer II- Product

Job Description

Responsibilities

• Join our SERDES team at the forefront of high-speed connectivity design. You'll work hand-in-hand with mixed-signal designers to characterize, analyze, and debug cutting-edge SERDES architectures — gaining deep, hands-on insight into some of the most advanced analog circuits in the industry, including multi-mode transmitters, PLLs, clock/data recovery (CDR) circuits, and sophisticated receiver architectures (CTLEs, AFEs, FFEs, and DFEs).
• In this role, you will:
• Shape next-generation IP — Drive R&D efforts on new mixed-signal designs, pushing the boundaries of electrical performance on state-of-the-art SERDES.
• Build smart tools — Develop automated test scripts and custom firmware that streamline SERDES performance tuning and unlock faster iteration.
• Engineer test hardware — Design high-performance PCBs and lab hardware that enable rigorous electrical compliance testing.
• Solve hard problems — Dig into complex SERDES circuit failures, root-cause issues, and translate findings into concrete design improvements.
• Communicate impact — Author clear, detailed characterization plans and high-quality technical reports that guide design decisions across the team.
• This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of analog design, digital signal processing, and systems engineering — tackling the technical challenges that make next-generation high-speed interfaces possible.

Requirements/Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Engineering Physics.
• 1-2 years related experience in the field
• Knowledge of semiconductor fundamentals, circuit theory and high-speed signals
• Hands-on proficiency with lab instruments such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, BERTS and VNAs.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Hardware experience with high-speed analog circuits in a lab or test environment
• Familiarity with script-based test automation using Python or other languages
