Analog/Mixed Signal Architect

Experience in designing and testing optical front-end receivers and transmitters (TIAs, drivers), CTLE, DFE, ADC, DAC, oscillators, etc.

Power user of simulation tools Cadence Virtuoso, Cadence Spectre, Verilog-A, IBIS-AMI simulators.

Understanding of signal processing (i.e., equalization, digital signal processing, and coding) and signal integrity in optical communication.

Experience in silicon photonic devices (Mach-Zehnder and microring modulators, thermally tuned components)

A culture champion for Lightmatter, aligns with the company’s light-hearted culture.

Innovative and flexible; realizes that a one-size-fits-all approach will not always solve the problem at hand.

Propose innovative solutions high-speed (50G and beyond) AMS circuit blocks custom to optical transceivers, such as drivers, TIAs, equalizers, ADC/DACs, PLLs, CDRs.

Work closely with the analog engineering design team to performance, power, and area estimates of the analog devices within Passage.

Actively collaborate with the photonics engineering team to provide a high-bandwidth photonic interconnect solution.

Author, review, and validate architectural specifications.
