Overview
MDA Space, Farnborough, England, United Kingdom. Join or sign in to apply for the High Speed Serdes Design Engineer (consultant) role at MDA Space.
Job Description
We are seeking a highly skilled High-Speed Serdes Analog Design Engineer to join our advanced mixed-signal quality assurance team. In this role, you will be responsible for reviewing the end-to-end design, development, and productization of high-speed analog SerDes IPs. You will work closely with the analog team, Analog IP vendors, system team, digital engineers, HW engineers and validation engineers from architecture and feasibility studies, through circuit design and simulation, silicon validation, and production release ensuring the IP meets stringent signal integrity, jitter, and power requirements.
Responsibilities
* Review end-to-end design, development, and productization of high-speed analog SerDes IPs.
* Collaborate with the analog team, IP vendors, system team, digital engineers, HW engineers, and validation engineers through architecture, feasibility studies, circuit design, simulation, silicon validation, and production release to meet signal integrity, jitter, and power requirements.
Qualifications
* Proven track record in designing and delivering high-speed SerDes IP (multi-gigabit per second links).
* Hands-on experience from concept definition through design, simulation, silicon validation, and production release.
* Strong knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuit design techniques for high-speed I/O, including PLLs, CDRs, equalizers, and drivers.
* Proficiency in transistor-level design and simulation using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE).
* Ability to model and analyze channel loss, jitter, and signal integrity.
* Experience in lab validation of high-speed IP, including high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs; strong understanding of measurement methodologies for eye diagrams, jitter, BER, and S-parameters.
* Familiarity with advanced CMOS or FinFET process technologies – an advantage.
* Knowledge of protocol standards such as PCIe or JESD204.
* Experience with statistical analysis, yield optimization, and DFM for high-speed analog IP.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
