Job Summary

Design and verify RTL for high-performance, multi-protocol wireline SerDes PHY components in advanced CMOS processes. You’ll collaborate with system link architects to micro-architect SerDes PHY designs, develop RTL for calibration/adaptation and clock-data-recovery blocks, apply low-power techniques with PPA analysis, and run verification plus design-rule checks (LINT/CDC/RDC). You’ll also support debug, static timing closure, and silicon bring-up/sign-off with physical design and validation teams.

Location: San Jose

Workplace: Hybrid

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)

Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

•Collaborate with system link architects to micro-architect high-speed SerDes PHY design.
•Develop RTL for digital blocks including calibration/adaptation loops, digital signal processing, and clock-data-recovery.
•Apply low power design techniques and perform PPA analysis.
•Verify functionality using block-level test benches, and support functional verification/debug and static timing closure.
•Use design checker tools (e.g., LINT/CDC/RDC) and collaborate with physical design/validation teams for pre-tape out sign-off and silicon bring-up.

Key Requirements

•Proficient in logic design concepts and RTL coding using Verilog/System Verilog.
•Proficient in micro-architecture and developing design specifications.
•Proficient with design checker tools and/or functional verification tools.
•Knowledge of synthesis flow and static timing analysis, including low power design and methodology.
•Experience with Python, Perl, TCL and/or other scripting languages (and/or SerDes PHY with high-speed I/O protocol preferred).
