Team Overview

The AMD SerDes Team is hiring for a Staff Level Analog Circuit Design Engineer to work on SerDes products up to 200+ Gbps on the latest CMOS FinFET nodes. The team has extensive experience in the design of circuits for high‑speed transmission and recovery of data over wired links, including:

• High‑speed (100 GSps+) data converters for signal recovery (ADC) and transmit signal conditioning (DAC)
• Continuous‑time equalizers with programmable gain and B/W up to 60 + GHz
• Wide‑range, low‑noise PLLs operating up to 20 + GHz
• Injection‑locked oscillators for multi‑phase clock generation
• High‑speed clock distribution and correction circuits
• Custom digital circuits for data serialization
• High‑speed wired channel termination and driver circuits

The Role

The role requires development of high‑speed and high‑performance analog circuits at the lowest power possible. Candidates are expected to have extensive experience in the design and verification of analog circuits and systems, and be familiar with layout floorplanning, layout‑dependent effects and post‑layout verification.

The Person

You have a passion for high‑speed analog circuit design and verification. You are a team player with excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with engineers at different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Analog circuit design of various circuits related to SerDes PHY development to meet block‑level design specifications
• Verification of circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets are achieved using industry standard tools and methodologies.
• Regular presentation and sharing of design progress with peers
• Participation in design reviews of other circuits to identify potential issues and for learning.
• Communication with SerDes circuit team members at other sites to share ideas.
• Feed back circuit performance information to the architecture team for system modelling.
• Support of the system‑level verification team in modelling of analog circuits in Verilog and debugging of identified issues.
• Assist with silicon bring‑up and debug.

Preferred Experience

• Good analog circuit design and analysis skills
• Experience with industry standard schematic entry and circuit simulation tools and methodologies
• Good programming/scripting skills
• Familiarity with the impact of layout effects on circuit design
• Experience with circuit floorplanning
• Previous experience in high‑speed circuit design would be a benefit
• Experience in silicon debug, verification and characterization
• Good interpersonal/teamwork skills

Academic Credentials

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering
