High-Speed System Design Engineer (Multiple Positions)

San Jose, CA, United States

Posted 3 months ago

Overview

Own the system-level specifications and perform the critical modeling and link-budget analysis necessary to ensure seamless end-to-end data integrity. Bridge the gap between high-speed ASICs and complex transmission channels. Join a highly technical, fast‑paced team pushing the limits of high‑frequency performance.

Responsibilities

• Translate top-level system requirements into detailed specifications for baseband blocks and RF/high-speed transmission channels.
• Develop comprehensive end-to-end system models in MATLAB/Simulink to simulate link performance, accounting for noise, non-linearity, and frequency-dependent losses.
• Develop and simulate end-to-end link using IBIS/IBIS-AMI model
• Conduct link-budget analysis to determine gain, noise figure, and power requirements across the entire signal chain.
• Act as the central integration point for sub-block designs. You will ingest circuit-level data from ASIC and Channel designers to verify that integrated block-level performance meets the overall system-level targets.
• Evaluate and define the optimal balance between analog/RF front-end performance and digital equalization strategies (e.g., FFE/DFE/MLSE).

Qualifications

• D. in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant industry experience, or M.S. with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Expert-level capability in MATLAB for modeling physical layer impairments and performing statistical link analysis.
• Expert-level capability in ADS-based channel and system simulation
• Familiarity with Cadence schematic and circuit design environments
• Strong familiarity with the operating principles of RF blocks (Mixers, Amplifiers), Analog Front-Ends (CTLE, VGA), and Digital Equalization techniques (FFE, DFE, MLSE).
• A proven ability to look at a high-speed signal path and identify where architectural trade-offs (e.g., power vs. performance) should be made to meet rigorous system specs.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and multitasking skills in a fast‑moving environment.

Location(s)

• Silicon Valley, CA (San Jose metro area)
