  • Define and implement complex SERDES training algorithms for a complex multi-rack system involving thousands of interconnect links and a wide variety of channels on boards, in systems, over copper backplanes, and over optical fibers.
  • Define and oversee the development of SI/PI design and validation methodologies for high speed electrical and optical serial link systems
  • Develop validation plans for and lead the characterization and validation of SERDES and high speed memory interfaces.
  • Characterize a wide range of IPs, including digital high speed serial peripherals, PLLs, and FPGAs.
  • Work with SI/PI Integrity experts to approve proposed system implementations of link and power budgets.
  • Work with the firmware development team for SOC characterization in order to develop in-system training and diagnostics.
  • Correlate SERDES link measurement results with SI/PI budgets, and document the findings.

Qualifications

  • Bachelors in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 7 years of related experience, or Masters with a minimum of 5 years of related experience, or PhD with a minimum of 1 years of related experience
  • Strong knowledge in high-speed system design and SI/PI budgeting methodology.
  • Expertise in testing high speed serial electrical and optical links.
  • Knowledge of adaptive signal processing, coding, and FEC algorithms.
  • Working knowledge of PCB design and layout, as it impacts signal and power integrity.
  • Experience with equalization techniques, Tx/Rx circuits, CTLE, and DFE.
  • Knowledge of different CDR architectures.
  • Experience in verifying DDRx/LPDDRx interfaces is a plus.
  • Experience in scripting PERL, Python, or Shell is a plus.
  • Technical leadership and the ability to solve technical challenges independently.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally.
  • Be energetic, self-driven, team oriented, and analytical
