What you’ll do
  • Design high-speed analog/mixed-signal blocks (drivers, TIAs, PLLs, CDRs, ADC/DACs)
  • Work on electro-optic systems and co-simulation with photonic devices (MRM, MZM, EAM, PD)
  • Define EIC/PIC partitioning and high-speed link budgets
  • Collaborate on packaging, SI/PI, DSP partitioning, and system integration
  • Support silicon bring-up, debug, and production ramp

What we’re looking for
  • MS/PhD in EE, Physics, or related field
  • Strong high-speed analog CMOS design background
  • Familiarity with SerDes or optical transceivers
  • Exposure to silicon photonics (preferred)
  • Experience with Cadence + MATLAB/Python
  • Understanding of optical link metrics (BER, TDECQ, OMA, etc.)

Nice to have
  • Verilog-A / photonic modelling experience
  • Lumerical tools exposure
  • CPO / advanced optical packaging experience
  • Lab bring-up of high-speed or electro-optic silicon

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary range: $200,000 – $300,000.
