THE ROLE:

The Serial Transceiver team in AMD designs high speed serial interface systems which are integrated into CPU, GPU and FPGA products. These devices are used in a wide variety of applications involving wireline communications. Successful physical implementation of these serial communications solutions requires an advanced knowledge of mixed signal layout techniques. 

Successful candidates will work as part of an experienced team executing projects in the latest CMOS FinFET manufacturing processes. Layout is extremely challenging at these smaller process nodes. Project tasks will include layout of analog and digital circuits (some examples of circuits are CTLE, DFE, Multi-GHz PLL design for Rx & Tx serial solutions running up to 200+Gbps); There is also and opportunity to contribute to methodology initiatives to accelerate design layout.

Applicants should have experience in some or all of the following areas:

• Minimum education level/Experience: BS/BEng (Hons) with 7 years. layout experience
• Knowledge of advanced layout techniques and hands on experience of layout on advanced nodes(28nm and below)
