Role Overview

BDC SerDes Mixed-Signal Design team is looking for experienced analog circuit designers with 4–12+ years of experience to work on high-speed SerDes PHYs. The role involves delivering next-generation PHY designs for SoCs and contributing to architecture analysis and circuit implementation in leading-edge FinFET and advanced technology nodes. The team focuses on low-power, high-performance analog designs for Qualcomm’s wireless and compute products.

Key Responsibilities

-Own hands-on analog circuit design for high-speed SerDes PHY blocks, High-speed TX/RX, Equalizers, Samplers, Phase interpolators, Serializer/De-serializer, Biases, and reference circuits, LDO etc.

-Design analog and/or digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and SerDes applications, including charge pumps, loop filters, VCO/DCO, PFD/TDC, and high-speed dividers.

-Take designs from schematic through post-layout verification, integration sign-off, and post-silicon bring-up.

-Collaborate closely with RTL, digital design, physical design, design verification, and SoC verification teams to integrate and validate the PHY.

Required Qualifications

-4–12+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal circuit design.

-Strong understanding of advanced FinFET process effects on analog design and layout.

-Experience with SPICE simulators, ADE XL, and Virtuoso.

-Hands-on experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug.

-Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.

-Ability to work effectively with global teams, with strong communication and presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

-Experience leading PHY integration into SoCs and working with post-silicon teams such as HSIO, ATE, SVE, and CE.

-Good understanding of peripheral PHY protocols such as USB, UFS, and PCIe.

-Experience with Shell, Perl, or Python scripting to automate circuit design and verification
