The ideal candidate will possess a strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering, with a Master’s or PhD degree preferred. They should have hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits and a solid track record in implementing analog circuits for high-speed data transmission.

Responsibilities:

• Developing and verifying circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs
• Working on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications
• Using industry-standard tools like Spectre and MATLAB

Requirements:

• Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering
• Master’s or PhD degree in EE preferred
• 2+ years of experience supporting or developing complex analog IC designs
• Hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits
• Deep understanding of biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps, comparators and other analog circuits
• Solid track-record for implementation of analog circuits high-speed data transmission
• Design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes (ex. 20nm or newer)
• Solid fundamentals in detailed transistor-level design, feedback/stability analysis, and noise/jitter analysis

Astera Labs offers:

• A chance to work on cutting-edge technology in a global leading company
• An opportunity to contribute to innovation
• A collaborative work environment
