What We’re Looking For: We’re looking for a PHY/SERDES Lead to own and lead the development of our semi-custom optical PHY layer. Ideal Background: • Multiple successful tapeouts of SERDES or PHY macros (not necessarily only chiplet interfaces, SERDES also counts here) • Deep understanding of tradeoffs between XSR/VSR/LR class SERDES and different operating regimes and challenges • Understanding and ownership of end to end link definition and architecture • Experience with bringup of PHYs • Understanding of the integration of PHYs into the system level Strongly Preferred: • Deep knowledge of and hands-on with chiplet interfaces like UCIe or BoW • Deep knowledge and hands-on execution of optical interconnect PHY layers • Knowledge of re-driven and re-timed PHY interfaces • Experience with customization of PHYs
