Job Description

This experienced engineer will specify and design the analog circuit portions of >Tbit/sec pluggable transceivers for data centers at the heart of AI clusters.  This engineer will lead the analog PCB design from schematic capture through bring-up and DVT, working with PIC, module,  RF design and other teams to deliver high volume products.

Core Responsibilities 

  • Design circuit at transistor, op-amp, and low-level discrete components level using EDA tools like Cadence or SPICE to meet strict bandwidth, noise, and power constraints. 

  • Have a good understanding of FPGA, CPLD, and MCU to be able to incorporate them in the designs.  

  • Design power supplies required for the system 

  • Create Spice simulation and test benches for power supplies and control circuits. 

  • Create schematics and work with PCB layout group to design PC boards by providing physical and electrical constraints. 

  • Review and edit the layout to ensure the circuit design meets target performance. 

  • Evaluate and select new components such as power supplies, power FETs, Clocks, glue logic IC, control chips, etc. 

  • Collaborate with internal firmware/software teams on implementing board level and circuit block diagnostics. 

  • Design test plan, bring up, and EDVT 

  • Bring up, test, and debug new PCB hardware. 

  • Document test results and lead design review with cross functional groups. 

  • MS degree in Electrical Engineering with minimum 5 years of experience (or equivalent) preferred in laser applications such as data communication systems or similar fields.  However, various levels will be considered. 

  • Must have experience in board level circuit design, simulation and hands-on test and board bring up.

  • Experience with DAC, ADC, IDAC, Op-amp, switching power supplies, LDO, and other signal conditioning circuits and components.  

  • Proficiency in Cadence Allegro: edit the layout as an example for the layout group to implement changes. This improves feedback efficiency. 

  • Strong Knowledge in signal and power integrity for high-speed PCB designs for network applications. 

  • Understanding the PCB fab and assembly processes for engineering protos. 

  • Proficiency with lab test equipment (Scopes, function generator, power meter, etc.) 

  • Coding skills to facilitate automation of routine testing 

  • Ability to communicate well and work closely and cross-functionally with engineering groups in design and resolving issues
