Description
About us We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects About our technology The semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution The Role We are seeking a skilled Analog Transceiver Design Engineer at Black Semiconductor to design, simulate, and validate high-speed analog transmitter and receiver circuits that support our next-generation Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) products. You will develop power-efficient analog front ends that interface with integrated photonic devices, working closely with the Analog Systems Architect, photonics, packaging, and digital teams from concept through silicon validation. To join our team, you should be excited to - Design and simulate high-speed analog building blocks including transmit drivers, TIAs, limiting amplifiers, CTLEs, bias circuits, and other transmitter and receiver functions. - Perform AC, transient, noise, jitter, linearity, PVT, Monte Carlo, and post-layout simulations to optimize circuit performance. - Collaborate with photonics and packaging engineers to co-design electrical interfaces while accounting for device and interconnect parasitics. - Support silicon bring-up, laboratory characterization, debugging, and correlation between simulation results and measured silicon. - Work with system architects and senior designers to implement analog IP meeting OCI Generation 1 and Generation 2 performance targets. Your Qualifications - Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 4–5 years of industry experience in analog IC design (or equivalent demonstrated impact). - Strong understanding of CMOS analog circuit design fundamentals, including gain, bandwidth, noise, linearity, feedback, stability, high-speed signal integrity, device parasitics, and analog circuit optimization. - Experience designing high-speed analog blocks such as transmit drivers, TIAs, CTLEs, limiting amplifiers, or SerDes front ends. - Experience with analog simulation and verification methodologies, including AC, transient, noise, jitter, linearity, PVT, Monte Carlo, and post-layout simulations. - Strong simulation, debugging, and data-analysis skills, with the ability to interpret simulation results and silicon characterization data. - Experience with analog IC design, simulation, verification, and laboratory characterization tools, including Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, MATLAB and/or Python for analysis and automation, RF/high-frequency tools such as Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS or equivalent EM simulation tools, post-layout extraction and verification tools, and high-speed laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, VNAs, BER testers, and data-analysis workflows. - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across analog, photonics, packaging, layout, and system teams. - Experience working on high-speed optical t
