High-Speed Design Engineer
Functieomschrijving
As a High-Speed Design Engineer you contribute to the cutting edge of technology by developing high-performance IOs and PHYs for our clients’ diverse applications. This role demands a blend of theoretical acumen and practical skills to design and implement sophisticated circuit solutions using the latest semiconductor technologies.
- You translate protocol standards and client requirements into detailed technical specifications.
- You conduct advanced system modelling to explore and validate circuit topologies that meet the technical specifications.
- You implement and optimize high-speed circuit designs using state-of-the-art semiconductor technology nodes.
- You collaborate on electromagnetic modelling of passive components and design circuits that enhance bandwidth for high-speed interfaces.
- You work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure designs are aligned with overall project goals.
Unique to the very broad region, your work at Sofics includes working in the world’s most advanced FinFET & GAAFET technology. This is possible because of the unique relationships Sofics has established with all of today’s leading silicon manufacturers. This is a hybrid position with work conducted from the office in Aalter and remote days from home. Additionally, office work with colleagues in Leuven is also possible.
Profiel
- You have a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with a focus on Analog or RF Integrated Circuit Design.
- You have a strong background in modern high-speed wireline topologies and building blocks including CDRs, PLLs, CTLEs and Tcoils.
- You have proficient understanding of transmission line theory and S-parameters.
- You have expertise in using 2.5D and 3D electromagnetic solvers such as EMX, Momentum, HFSS or similar.
- You have experience with harmonic balance and S-parameter simulations.
- You have the ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment.
- You have strong problem-solving skills and the capacity to work on complex projects under tight deadlines.
- You have the ability to work under pressure and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- You are fluent, both written and spoken, in English or Dutch
