Analog IC Design Engineer – High-speed, SerDes

The role is an Analog IC Design Engineer specialising in high-speed, SerDes circuits at a company focused on advanced technology nodes. The company is based in Lausanne and specialises in high-speed transceivers. The main responsibilities include developing block-level specifications, modelling, designing, and verifying ultra high-speed Analog circuits. The role also involves customer liaison to meet their requirements, contributing to design specifications, overseeing product delivery, and supporting the integration of IP and chip-level components. The ideal candidate will have around 5 years of experience in Analog IC Design, with a focus on multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers (SerDes), RF multi-tone designs, equalisers, clock generators, clock and data recovery circuits, ADCs, serialisers, and output drivers. Proficiency in the design and layout of high-speed circuits, such as oscillators, phase-locked loops, delay-locked loops, and other essential building blocks like biasing, amplifiers, buffers, regulators, filters, ADCs, and DACs, is essential. Experience with advanced semiconductor process technologies, particularly in finFET technology nodes, is highly desirable. Familiarity with tools such as Ocean, MDL, or similar for automating analog design verification will be an advantage. What the role asks for: - 5 years of experience in Analog IC Design - Focus on multi-gigabit serial data-link transceivers (SerDes) - Proficiency in high-speed circuit design and layout - Experience with advanced semiconductor process technologies, particularly in finFET technology nodes - Familiarity with tools such as Ocean, MDL, or similar for automating analog design verification (nice-to-have)
