(Sr. Engineer / Engineer) HSIF Analog Engineer

Job description

Responsibilities: This requisition is for an entry-level High-Speed Interface (SerDes) Engineer to strengthen our in-house capability for high-speed PHY/IP development. The candidate will contribute to ongoing product programs and next-generation feasibility studies by executing simulation, verification, and lab characterization tasks under guidance of senior engineers. The role provides a structured growth path toward owning design blocks and driving technical decisions in future tape-outs. Execute circuit/system simulations and basic analyses for assigned SerDes related blocks; summarize results and next actions. Support block integration and verification activities (interfaces, regressions, corner coverage) in collaboration with analog/digital/layout teams. Assist with silicon bring-up and lab characterization by preparing setups, collecting data, and supporting debug and simulation-to-measurement correlation. Maintain clear documentation (assumptions, checklists, reports) and contribute to technical reviews with concise updates. Requirements: Experience: 5 year analog design engineer Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience). Fundamental knowledge: Solid understanding of circuits and/or digital design fundamentals (devices, amplifiers, feedback, sampling, timing, basic signal integrity concepts). Analytical skills: Ability to interpret simulation/measurement results, identify discrepancies, and communicate observations clearly. Tools & workflow: Comfortable working in a Linux/UNIX environment; ability to manage simulations, data, and documentation in a structured way. Communication & teamwork: Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and to document work (reports, slides, checklists) with attention to detail. Ownership mindset: Willingness to take on defined tasks, drive them to closure, and ask for help early when blocked. Language skills: Business level Japanese and English communication skill Mixed-signal simulation: Exposure to SPICE-based simulation (e.g., Spectre/HSPICE) and/or mixed-signal environments (Verilog-AMS/Verilog-A) * Preferred
