Entry Level Hardware Developer

Analog Circuit Design Engineer

You will be part of the team responsible for delivering high speed SERDES interfaces for IBM Power and Z microprocessors built on advanced 3nm technologies and beyond. You will also help your new team move the high-speed IO architecture from NMZ to PAM4 for future IBM microprocessors.

You will use a mix of industry standard and IBM proprietary tools to design, simulate, and lay out your circuits. You may work on transmitter, receiver, PLL, or other analog designs, and you will learn what it takes to develop and deliver complex analog circuits for IBM products.

Responsibilities

• Perform schematic level design using Cadence design tools
• Perform in-depth circuit analysis using Spectre and SPICE simulators
• Analyze the design for manufacturability and end of life requirements
• Develop scripts to parse data using languages like Python

Preferred Skills

• Understanding of analog circuit design theory and circuit design analysis
• Projects in RTL design using Verilog/VHDL
• Projects in analog or PLL design
• Python, C/C++, TCL skills
• Inter-discipline design experience
• Having taken an Analog Circuit Design course
• Understanding of interface terminology such as NMZ, PAM4, CTLE, DFE, PLLs, RX, TX and how these work within a high-speed interface
