What will you do at Ciena as an Analog Design Co-op?
The Wavelogic family of products are widely used in Ciena's optical fiber transmission solutions and are one of the main contributors to Ciena's success in the telecommunications industry. Successful candidates will be joining a vibrant team with a proven track-record of success over 30-years of evolution and revolution in the advancement of high-speed circuits used in broadband fiber-optic modems. This team pioneered the introduction of the world’s first high-speed DAC and ADC analog macros that ushered in the era of coherent fiber-optic product solutions.
To further strengthen our team, we are looking for a hardworking analog design co-op who will participate in the design of advanced high-speed analog circuits in the latest deep-submicron CMOS and/or BiCMOS technologies. Your role as an analog design co-op will be to deliver advanced high-speed circuits under the oversight of a senior analog designer within a larger team who are responsible for a full mixed signal IP block solution that will be integrated into the Wavelogic family of products.
These analog macros include design and deliver of electrical interface-facing DAC and ADC based SERDES solutions for 112G and 224G, optical-line-facing high-speed DAC and ADC circuits interfacing with optical modulators and detectors, transimpedance amplifiers, modulator driver circuits, and critical precision analog circuits for control and monitoring functions, etc.
In this role:
- You will be responsible for the design and/or verification of various analog blocks assigned to you under the guidance of a senior analog design engineer. You will interact with layout team members who may assist with some aspects of the overall implementation through to full GDSII delivery to Ciena’s integration partner.
- Reporting on status updates on a regular basis, participation in team meetings and sharing of experience with the rest of the group.
- Characterization in Ciena’s state-of-the art lab of the analog circuits from test-chips through to full product implementation working with members of our Analog Macro Integration team.
What technical experience and personal skills are required for this role?
- Electrical or computer engineering, computer science or other applicable scientific degree at the BEng/BSc, MEng/MSc, or Ph.D level.
- Experience leading designs in advanced BiCMOS and/or CMOS technology with a minimum of 2-years industrial experience.
- A highly motivated self-starter, able to work independently, while being a great teammate
- Ability to methodically address technical problems
- Excellent organization, written and oral (English) interpersonal skills
- Proficiency with use of applicable design tools from Cadence, Mentor and Synopsys for analog design (eg Virtuoso, Calibre, STAR-RC, MMSIM). .
What additional assets can help me in this role?
- Experience with 2.5D or 3D E-M tools such as HFSS or EMX
- Experience with mixed-signal design validation using state-of the art probing and test equipment
Pay Range: The hourly pay for this position is $25.00 - $34.00
Pay ranges at Ciena are designed to accommodate variations in knowledge, skills, experience, market conditions, and locations, reflecting our diverse products, industries, and lines of business. Please note that the pay range information provided in this posting pertains specifically to the primary location, which is the top location listed in case multiple locations are available.
