Job description
WeAreIn for jobs that impact everyone’s life.Build the future nobody’s dreamed of yet… are you ready to rethink the impossible?As a Principal Engineer DSP PHY Digital Design in our Research & Development team, you’ll have the opportunity to merge creativity with your technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking projects, and bringing new ideas to life.Are you in?, * Architect and simulate DSP signal chains for automotive Ethernet PHYs: define features, performance targets, and algorithm specs for mixed-signal and digital teams
- RTL Design and Verification
- Develop equalization and adaptation algorithms for wireline channels(e.g., FFE/DFE, adaptive filtering), including fixed-point considerations
- Design and implement timing recovery/synchronization blocks (CDR, tracking loops), including jitter tolerance and stability/latency tradeoffs
- Contribute to detection and coding / FEC integration: soft-information interfaces, performance/complexity tradeoffs, and linkKPIs
- Build bit-true / fixed-point models and reference implementations primarily in C++ and MATLAB (Python optional, not core
- Define verification metrics and stress tests (BER/FER, convergence time, corner cases) and partner with DV to ensure coverage
- Support silicon bring-up and lab debug: correlate model silicon, root-cause issues, and iterate on algorithms/specs
- Collaborate across architecture, design, verification, and applications to deliver implementable and testable solutions
Requirements
- B.S. + 10 years (or M.S. + 7 years) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Strong fundamentals in digital communications and DSP, including probability/statistics
- Practical experience in high-speed wireline DSP, including some mix of: FFE/DFE, adaptation, CDR, MLSD/Viterbi concepts, FEC integration, fixed-point modeling
- Strong C++ and MATLAB skills for algorithm development, modeling, and analysis
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with automotive Ethernet PHY/SerDes constraints(robustness, low latency, interoperability, EMI resilience)
- Familiarity with ADC-based receiver architectures and calibration concepts
- Experience translating algorithms into RTL-friendly specs(throughput/latency budgeting, memory/compute sizing, state-machine behavior)
- Knowledge of link startup/training / autoneg concepts and system validation
- Exposure to standards work (e.g., IEEE 802.3) or cross-company technical leadership
