25 Gb/s), and high accuracy, analog designs for optical communications products. We optimize design that will integrate into the ASIC. Our team interacts with other Acacia groups including digital/DSP design, system design, package design, and module design.
Your Impact
You will use your knowledge of circuit designs including device theory and signal integrity to support issues found in the lab or by customer
You will analyze data from lab, identify the probable circuits, run post-layout simulations of the circuit in cadence, and correlate the observed issue to find root cause
You have hand-on experience in using the lab equipment such as DCA, spectrum analyzer, etc, and as well as familiar with python script
In addition to your sustaining role, you will also design, layout, measure and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products and participate in peer review of complex IC designs and provide solid design methodology from conception to production.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams from Testing, ATE, reliability, packaging, and hardware design team
