About the role

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we're looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don't shy away from humanity's challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you're designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.
THE ROLE: AMD Serdes Technology Group develops high-performance electrical and optical transceivers in advanced CMOS PDKs. We are seeking an expert in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and architecture. THE PERSON:The ideal candidate will have a strong background in advanced ultra-high-speed electrical and/or optical PHY design. She/He needs to be a self-starter who collaborates well with various functional teams and customers to successfully drive projects to completion. KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:To own performance-critical analog mixed-signal circuit blocks used in Serdes, such as high-speed data converters (DAC and ADC), clocking (reference clock, PLL, clock dividers, mixers, buffers, regulators, multi-phase clock generators, error detection and correction), and analog front-end circuits (pad matching networks, ESD, CTLE, linear amplifier) To define circuit-driven micro-architectures of Tx and Rx subsystems and drive sub-block level specs. To own power, performance, area, and jitter budgets of analog design blocks To mentor sub-block owners and conduct peer reviews of design and verification results To work with pre-tapeout verification and post-silicon validation teams to bring up silicon and analyze silicon resultsPREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Experience designing 200G+ CMOS transceivers, with a deep understanding of high-speed electrical and/or optical interface requirements. Demonstrated proficiency in hands-on circuit optimizations, including tuning for power, performance, and area at both block and system levels. Proven track record in silicon productization—from initial design through to bring-up, validation, and successful ramp to mass production. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field or M.S. with relevant industrial experience in optical and/or electrical transceiver design.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
