Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer (SerDes)

TL;DR

Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer (SerDes): Developing and verifying next-generation mixed-signal IP with an accent on static timing analysis and analog-digital interface closure. Focus on optimizing circuit performance, building complex testbenches, and advancing verification methodologies using Cadence ADE and behavioral modeling.

Location: Must be based in the greater metropolitan area of Toronto, Ontario. The role is currently remote but will transition to a hybrid model (4 days/week on-site) once the new office is operational.

Salary: CAD 129,740–183,170
