This role is for one of our clients
Industry: Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company Name: KriSemi Design Technologies Pvt Ltd
Seniority level: Associate Level
Experience: 1+ yrs
Location: Bengaluru, Hyderabad
Job Type: Full-Time
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
We are looking for a talented Circuit Design Engineer with 1-5 years of experience in high-speed analog and mixed-signal IC design. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) circuit design and FinFET technology, with a strong understanding of advanced semiconductor processes. In this role, you will contribute to the design, simulation, optimization, and validation of high-performance circuits used in next-generation communication, networking, computing, and data center applications.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including layout, verification, physical design, and product engineering to develop innovative and reliable silicon solutions that meet performance, power, and area (PPA) targets.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits for SerDes applications
Architect, simulate, and optimize critical circuit blocks such as transmitters, receivers, equalizers, clock distribution, bias circuits, PLLs, DLLs, and data recovery circuits
Perform transistor-level circuit design and optimization using advanced FinFET process technologies
Conduct schematic design, pre-layout and post-layout simulations, and corner analysis to ensure robust circuit performance
Analyze circuit performance across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations
Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure high-quality physical implementation while minimizing parasitics and improving signal integrity
Work closely with verification and characterization teams to debug silicon issues and improve design quality
Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and documentation throughout the product development lifecycle
Optimize designs for power consumption, speed, area, and manufacturability
Stay updated with emerging semiconductor technologies and industry best practices in high-speed circuit design
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, VLSI, or a related discipline
1-5 years of experience in analog, mixed-signal, or high-speed circuit design
Strong understanding of CMOS analog circuit fundamentals and semiconductor device physics
Experience working on advanced semiconductor process nodes, particularly FinFET technologies
Familiarity with the complete IC design flow from specification to silicon validation
Must-Have Skills
Strong hands-on experience in SerDes circuit design
Practical experience designing circuits using FinFET process technology
Expertise in transistor-level analog and mixed-signal circuit design
Strong understanding of high-speed signaling, timing analysis, and signal integrity
Experience with SPICE-based circuit simulation and analysis
Knowledge of PVT analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and design optimization techniques
Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or equivalent
Understanding of layout-dependent effects, parasitic extraction, and post-layout verification
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving abilities
Good-to-Have Skills
Experience with PLL, DLL, CDR, ADC, DAC, or equalizer circuit design
Exposure to high-speed interface standards such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, or MIPI
Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL for design automation
Familiarity with silicon bring-up, characterization, and lab validation
Understanding of low-power design methodologies and reliability analysis
Exposure to EM/IR analysis and ESD-aware circuit design
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is passionate about semiconductor design and enjoys solving challenging analog and mixed-signal design problems. You should possess excellent communication skills, work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams, and demonstrate a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, production-ready circuit designs. A proactive learning mindset and enthusiasm for advanced process technologies and high-speed interfaces will enable you to thrive in this role.
