The combination of advanced digital capability and Analog Devices’ world-leading analog IC design technology creates opportunities for revenue growth in areas such as in-vehicle connectivity, in-vehicle entertainment and ADAS.

The Automotive Systems and Solutions Technology Team is at the forefront of developing technologies for next generation automotive products. We have identified the need for a highly motivated Communications PHY Systems Architect to model wireline physical layer links targeted for in-vehicle communications and to architect DSP functions of those receivers and transmitters for robust and practical implementation.  As a member of the Systems team, you will help develop the architecture of the next generation proprietary and standards-based video and data solutions. In this challenging role, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of technology areas and applications.

The Role

• Modeling of vehicle wireline communications links with emphasis on signal integrity.
• Model receiver and transmitter architectures, including equalizers, echo cancellers, clock and data recovery and other processing blocks and algorithms required to deliver a robust link.
• Define a DSP architecture for those processing blocks and algorithms that is practical and efficient to implement.
• Collaborate with digital and firmware engineers to implement those functions.
• Collaborate with the systems and development teams to define future product requirements to maintain ADI portfolio leadership in signal integrity.
• Collaborate with the systems and evaluation teams to characterize product performance and solve customer issues.
• Support ADI standards engagement.  Modeling to provide task group collateral or verify materials submitted by others.

Requirements

• Minimum BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering and several years’ relevant experience; MSEE or MSCE and 5+ years of experience preferred.
• Experience with SERDES system concepts (Equalization, CDR, Noise sources, etc.).
• System modeling experience in Matlab/Simulink or similar platforms.
• Strong background in digital signal processing.
• Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to understand and clearly articulate technical issues to peers, management and customers and solve problems cross-functionally.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to work effectively with teams spread geographically.
• Understanding of electromagnetic theory related to transmission lines and PCB.
• Self-motivated.

Desirable

• Familiarity with EMI / EMC compliance standards and testing.
• Experience with SERDES hardware testing and evaluation.
• Knowledge of wireline communications standards.
• Analog/mixed-signal design experience.
