Job Details: Job Description: We are seeking an experienced Senior SerDes System Engineer to lead the design, development, and optimization of high‑performance SerDes and DSP‑based system solutions for next‑generation products. This role requires deep system‑level understanding, strong algorithmic expertise, and close collaboration with architecture and hardware teams. In this role, you will: Lead the design and development of SerDes system models, DSP algorithms, and signal‑processing blocks. Define system and algorithm specifications aligned with performance, power, and reliability requirements. Perform system‑level modeling, simulation, and trade‑off analysis across power, performance, and area. Drive algorithm tuning, validation, and performance optimization across multiple stages of product development. Collaborate with digital architecture and RTL teams to translate system models into efficient hardware implementations. Support implementation of DSP and SerDes subsystems in RTL and ensure successful integration into full‑chip designs. Develop post‑silicon validation strategies , create test and debug scripts, root‑cause complex system issues , and drive performance optimization in lab environments. Research and apply advanced DSP, equalization, and ML/AI‑based techniques to improve link performance and robustness. Act as a technical leader, contributing to roadmap definition, cross‑team alignment, and industry best practices.
