Brightecs Innovation Pte Ltd Hiring! Full Time Senior PHY Design Engineer in - Ricebowl

Key Responsibilities:

1. Circuit Design & Development.

• Design high-speed analog circuits for DDR PHY interfaces (DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR5/6).
• Key modules: PLLs, DLLs, TX/RX channels, ODT (On-Die Termination), equalizers (CTLE/DFE), voltage regulators.
• Optimize power, performance, area (PPA), and signal integrity (SI).

2. Signal/Power Integrity (SI/PI) Analysis.

• Model and simulate channel losses, crosstalk, jitter, and eye diagrams.
• Ensure compliance with JEDEC standards (e.g., DDR************* MT/s).
• Design impedance-matching networks and noise-suppression circuits.

3. Process Technology Adaptation.

• Implement designs in advanced nodes (FinFET, 7nm/5nm and below).
• Address PVT (Process-Voltage-Temperature) variations and reliability challenges (TDDB, EM/IR).
• Collaborate with layout engineers on floor planning, matching, and parasitic extraction.

4. Validation & Testing.

• Develop test plans for lab characterization and ATE (Automated Test Equipment).
• Debug silicon failures using oscilloscopes, BERTs, and protocol analyzers.
• Perform shmoo plotting, margin analysis, and yield improvement.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration.

• Work with digital design, verification, and firmware teams for PHY integration.
• Support package/PCB teams on SI/PI optimization.
• Document design specs, simulation reports, and test results.

Required Qualifications:

1. Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE).

2. With more than 8 years relevant experience in similar filed in semiconductor industry.

3. Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in EDA tools: Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE, ADS, EMX.
• Hands-on experience with DDR protocols (JEDEC DDR4/5, LPDDR5/6).
• Strong knowledge of analog fundamentals: noise analysis, stability, feedback systems.
• Experience in high-speed I/O design (>6.4 Gbps for DDR5).

4. Preferred Expertise:

• Design tape-out experience in FinFET/SOI technologies.
• Familiarity with SerDes, HBM, or other high-speed interfaces.
• Scripting skills: Python, MATLAB, Verilog-A/AMS.
