About the role

Job DescriptionWe are seeking a Principal / Lead DSP & Systems Architect to own the architectural direction of ultra high-speed SerDes platforms targeting 448G per lane and emerging post-448G standards, spanning both electrical (chip-to-chip, backplane, copper cable) and optical (IM-DD and coherent) interfaces. This individual will drive end-to-end link architecture, DSP algorithm design, and ADC/DAC-based transceiver partitioning, serving as the primary technical interface with strategic customers and standards bodies.The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in high-speed link theory, advanced equalization and FEC, PAM/multi-level and coherent signaling, and hardware-aware DSP implementation, with a track record of delivering SerDes IP into silicon at the bleeding edge of the wireline and optical roadmap.J-18808-Ljbffr

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.
