## Description

You will work closely with the Analog and Mixed-Signal (AMS) and Digital IC design teams tocontribute to system architecture, partition analog and digital implementations, model channels,and support IC design, verification, and characterization.Your key responsibilities will include: Channel Modeling: Model optoelectronic components (e.g., laser drivers, TransimpedanceAmplifiers (TIA)), photonics (e.g., VCSEL, PIN photodiodes), and optical transmission effects(e.g., chromatic dispersion (CD), effective modal bandwidth (EMB), modal noise (MN), andmode partition noise (MPN)), understanding their impact on signal distortion, both linear andnon-linear, noise and jitter. Algorithm Development: Invent, simulate, and validate energy-efficient DSP algorithms inboth floating-point and fixed-point precision. These algorithms will be used for adaptive AMSblocks calibration, adaptive channel equalization, timing recovery, symbol synchronization,FEC encoding/decoding, and signal quality assessment for both electrical and optical physicallayers. Hardware Testing & Optimization: Measure and optimize algorithms on actual hardware,correlating models and performance with prior simulations. You will refine models and updatesimulation environments to ensure alignment with experimental dataRequirementsAt least 10 years of industry experience in related fieldA master's or Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, physics, or mathematics is highlyrecommended, although not strictly required.Desirable Competenc esStrong background in Information Theory, DSP, and FEC for optical and/or electric alcommunications Experience in modeling communication systems, with a preference for expertise inoptoelectronics and optical channel modelin gProficiency in programming languages such as MATLAB, C/C++, or simila r.Familiarity with Unix operating systems, particularly Linux, and version control system s,particularly SV N Experience with collaboration with IC designer s.Knowledge of intensity-modulation/direct-detect (IM/DD) optical communication system s.Ability to present and defend technical information to colleague s.Personal ProfileCommitment to technical excellence and continuous learni ngA critical and constructive minds etWillingness to take responsibility from implementation to validation in the laborato ry.Proactive, problem-solving attitu deAttention to detail, especially when handling production-related informati onStrong commitment to high-quality, bug-free developme ntTeam-oriented mindset and ability to collaborate effective lyPlace of workTres Cantos headquarters (Madrid, Spain).#J-*****-Ljbffr
