Job Type: Full-time

Lead – SerDes Design EngineerLocation: BangaloreAbout Phytau SemiconductorsPhytau Semiconductors is a specialist semiconductor design company built around one core strength: solving difficult analog and high-speed silicon problems.We specialize in Analog, Clocking, and SerDes, with deep expertise in the circuits that determine the performance of modern high-speed chips. Our work spans high-speed SerDes, PLLs, CDRs, injection-locked oscillators, clocking architectures, and precision analog—from architectural decisions down to transistor-level implementation.We believe the hardest semiconductor problems are rarely solved by circuit design alone. They require a combination of robust fundamentals, architectural insight, attention to implementation, and relentless silicon-oriented debugging. This is the engineering culture we have built at Phytau.Our engineers take end-to-end ownership—from understanding the system problem and defining the architecture, through circuit design, simulation, layout interaction, post-layout optimization, and silicon bring-up.We partner with semiconductor companies that need deep analog expertise without compromising on execution. Whether it is pushing the limits of speed, jitter, power, or performance, Phytau brings the technical depth and ownership needed to turn challenging specifications into working silicon.We don't aim to be the largest design team. We aim to be the team you call when the silicon problem is hard.Lead – SerDes Design EngineerExperience: 5–8 Years Location: India Employment Type:
