Requirements

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a related field
Strong background in signal processing for communication systems, analog/mixed-signal circuit design, and Integrated circuit (ASIC/CMOS) design
Proven industry experience in the design and delivery of optoelectronic systems and integrated circuits
Experience with optical transceivers, connectivity systems, or advanced optical I/O architectures
Hands-on experience with lab measurements and characterization (e.g., RF measurements, eye diagrams, BER testing)
Strong experience in end-to-end link modeling and simulation, including circuit-level (SPICE) and system-level (Python-based) analysis
Ability to operate effectively in a multi-disciplinary environment
Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken, including the skill to clearly communicate technical results and justify assumptions to diverse technical audiences

Nice to Haves

Experience with co-packaged optics, optical interconnects, or data center networking technologies
Demonstrated track record of taking designs from concept through tape-out, bring-up, and validation
Solid foundation in optical communication, including fiber transmission, channel impairments, and system-level trade-offs such as power, reach, bandwidth, latency, and reliability
Experience collaborating with external manufacturing partners and Tier-1 suppliers across design, fabrication, and system integration phases

Design and develop high-speed optoelectronic systems, including optical transceivers and connectivity chip architectures
Perform system-level modeling and co-simulation of electronic, photonic, and packaging effects
Co-design electrical and optical interfaces, ensuring signal integrity, bandwidth efficiency, and power optimization
Develop and implement high-speed interface architectures, spanning host-side SerDes and parallel low-speed optical links, including analog equalization, clocking strategies, and link-level optimization
Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal CMOS circuits (e.g., drivers, TIAs, PLLs). Contribute to ASIC and IC design flows, including architecture definition, modeling, and verification
Analyze experimental data, align it with simulation outcomes, and drive iterative design improvements to meet performance targets
