The AMD SerDes team in Ireland is hiring for an MTS level Analog Circuit Design Engineer to work on SerDes products up to 200+Gbps on the latest CMOS FinFET nodes. The AMD team has extensive experience in the design of circuits for the high‑speed transmission and recovery of data over wired links, including:

• 
  
• High‑speed (100GSps+) data converters for signal recovery (ADC) and transmit signal conditioning (DAC)
  
• Continuous‑time equalisers with programmable gain and bandwidth up to 60+ GHz
  
• Wide‑range, low‑noise PLLs operating up to 20+ GHz
  
• Injection‑locked oscillators for multi‑phase clock generation
  
• High‑speed clock distribution and correction circuits
  
• Custom digital circuits for data serialisation
  
• High‑speed wired channel termination and driver circuits
  

The successful candidate will work with a world‑class team in the development of SerDes solutions to facilitate the future connectivity of AMD CPU, GPU and FPGA products.

The role requires the development of high‑speed and high‑performance analog circuits at the lowest power possible. The candidate is expected to have extensive experience in the design and verification of analog circuits and systems, and be familiar with layout floor‑planning, layout‑dependent effects, and post‑layout verification.

You have a passion for high‑speed analog circuit design and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

• 
  
• Analog circuit design of different circuits related to SerDes PHY development to meet block‑level design specifications
  
• Verification of circuit designs to ensure functional, performance and reliability targets are achieved using industry‑standard tools and methodologies
  
• Regular presentation and sharing of design progress with peers
  
• Participating in design reviews of other circuits both for identifying potential issues and from a learning perspective
  
• Communicating with SerDes circuit team members at other sites for the purposes of sharing ideas
  
• Feeding back circuit performance information to the architecture team for the purposes of system modelling
  
• Supporting the system‑level verification team in the modelling of analog circuits in Verilog and in the debug of identified issues
  
• Assisting with silicon bring‑up and debug
  

• 
  
• Good analog circuit design and analysis skills
  
• Experience with industry‑standard schematic entry and circuit simulation tools and methodologies
  
• Good programming/scripting skills
  
• Familiarity with the impact of layout effects on circuit design
  
• Experience with circuit floor‑planning
  
• Previous experience on high‑speed circuit design would be a benefit
  
• Experience in silicon debug, verification and characterization
  
• Good interpersonal/teamwork skills
  

• 
  
• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering
