Acacia designs intelligent transceivers using advanced signal processing and photonic integration for the 100G, 400G and 1T bit speed fiber optic transmission market deployed in data center, metro, long-haul and ultra-long haul telecommunication networks.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- BSEE degree with 12+ years of experience or equivalent or an MS degree with 8+ years of experience, or equivalent or a PhD with 5+ years of experience, or equivalent
- Design, simulation and measurement of high speed ICs in at least 3 areas below:
- High Speed Serial Links utilizing serializers, deserializers, and data convertors.
- Voltage Regulators
- High Performance Output Drivers
- High Performance Phase Locked Loops
- Efficient clock Transmission/propagation
- Opamps and Programmable Gain Amplifiers
- Equalization techniques
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Direct experience with electrical transceiver applications including backplane and cable communications
- Experience with FinFET technology
-High-frequency layout experience a plus: Passive component design: inductors, -transformers, transmission-lines, etc.
- Floorplanning (power/ground, digital/analog signal routing, etc.)
- Custom transistor layout
Design for manufacturability:
- Characterization over PVT (monte-carlo analysis)
- Electromigration analysis (using Totem, or equivalent)
- Power and IR drop analysis
Laboratory Validation:
- Solid ESD laboratory practices and methodology
- Construction of test setup to test specific circuitry
Software Experience:
- Experience in the use of high frequency test equipment (BERT, jitter analyzers, VNA/PNA, etc.)
- Cadence (virtuoso)
- Spectre/APS/SpectreX
- Layout validation tools (Virtuoso or Calibre)
- Post-layout Extraction (Virtuoso or Calibre)
Responsibilities:
- As a member of the Mixed Signal Design team, you will be a key member of a small, dynamic IC Design group that develops high speed (>25Gb/s), and high accuracy, analog designs for optical communications products. You will architect, design, layout, measure and productize ultra-deep sub-micron-based CMOS products.
- You will lead efforts for a large block on a complex chip, mentor team members and track deliverables, participate in peer review of complex IC designs and provide solid design methodology from conception to production.
- You will also collaborate with packaging and hardware design team to ensure signal and power integrity specifications are met.
