Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop and optimize transistor-level analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-speed interface applications.
• Work on high-speed circuit blocks involving SerDes, PLL, CDR, DLL, clocking circuits and equalization techniques.
• Develop analog circuit architectures for high-speed protocols such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, DDR and other high-bandwidth interfaces.
• Perform transistor-level circuit design, simulation, debugging and optimization.
• Conduct pre-layout and post-layout simulations to validate circuit performance.
• Perform PVT corner analysis, Monte Carlo simulations and statistical analysis.
• Optimize circuits for power, performance, area (PPA), jitter, noise and signal integrity.
• Work on circuit design and implementation using advanced TSMC technology nodes.
• Collaborate with layout, verification and physical design teams for successful block integration.




• Analyze and resolve circuit-level issues related to timing, stability, power consumption and performance.
• Support silicon validation and characterization activities, where required. Required Technical Skills
• 4+ years of experience in Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuit Design.
• Strong hands-on experience in transistor-level circuit design.
• Experience with high-speed interface protocols such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, DDR or SerDes.
• Solid understanding of high-speed analog circuit blocks such as PLL, CDR, DLL, TX/RX, equalizers and clocking circuits.
• Hands-on experience with SPICE-based simulation tools such as Cadence Spectre, HSPICE, FineSim or PrimeSim.
• Experience in PVT, Monte Carlo, transient, AC and DC simulations.
• Experience working on advanced TSMC technology nodes.
• Good understanding of CMOS fundamentals, device characteristics, noise, jitter and signal integrity.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso and schematic design environments. Preferred Skills
• Experience with TSMC advanced nodes such as 3nm, 5nm, 7nm or 16nm.
• Strong understanding of high-speed SerDes architecture and circuit design.
• Exposure to PCIe Gen4/Gen5/Gen6, USB 3.x/4, DDR4/DDR5 or high-speed Ethernet.
• Experience in high-speed transmitter and receiver circuit design.
• Knowledge of equalization techniques such as CTLE, DFE and FFE.
