Principal High Speed Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engineer

Job description

The successful candidate shall possess the capability to design and analyze high-speed, high-performance analog/mixed-signal circuits, including data converters, PLLs, and SERDES, in advanced CMOS FinFET technologies. She or he shall bring the design to production. Engaging in high-speed analog circuit design gives you the chance to create the technical differentiation that will allow Infinera to hold market leadership.

By building cutting-edge circuitry, we will together revolutionize the era of efficient high-speed transmission. NION2026

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and simulate the functionality and performance of various high speed analog circuits, including the ADCs and DACs; Create the layout floor plans to optimize the overall performance; Supervise the layout activities and give concise guidelines to layout engineers, need to be hands on in drawing layout if necessary; Exploring the trade-offs of the different topologies and propose the best solution to achieve or exceed the requirements in terms of power/area/linearity/bandwidth, etc.

Develop the analog testing plans and work with the PE/TE teams to characterize the functionality and performance of the products to ensure the quality; Need to support and comply with the team’s design methodologies and release flows.

Qualifications
