Job Description

Job Category: Applied R&D
Degree Level: Doctor's degree (e.g PhD)
:
As a RFIC Design Manager at Nokia, you will lead and mentor a team of engineers in the design and development of cutting-edge high-speed drivers, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), and control systems for next-generation optical communication applications. You'll thrive in a collaborative atmosphere that encourages creativity and leverages cutting-edge advancements in CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and silicon photonics, all while addressing real-world communication challenges. Your contributions will directly impact the evolution of our high-speed communication products, making a tangible difference in the industry. This role requires strong technical expertise, leadership skills, and a commitment to delivering innovative solutions for high-speed communication products.
Responsibilities:

• Design high-speed drivers, TIAs (trans-impedance amplifiers), and control systems for optical communication applications.
• Collaborate on architecture definition, circuit design, layout, and qualification of circuits integrated with photonic components.
• Drive high-speed communication product development through innovative solutions.
• Oversee team performance, mentor team members, acting as a professional leader and recognized expert, promoting best practices within the organization.
• Foster a culture of innovation, encouraging team-wide participation in problem-solving and the exploration of new ideas.

Qualifications:

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical work experience.
• Background in high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, with fundamental concepts such as: circuit noise and linearity, linear amplifiers, low noise linear trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), AGC (automatic gain control) circuits and linear equalizers.
• Experience in testing and debugging analog and mixed signal high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) as well as experience with physical design and verification (passive component design using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and HFSS, EMX).

It would be nice if you also had:

• Familiarity with CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) design and manufacturing, including SiGe (Silicon Germanium) and BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor).
• Experience with silicon photonics and optical communications.
• Publications and a record of innovation.
• Familiarity with digital flow (synthesis, static timing, place and route), particularly in the context of state machines for mixed-signal control systems.
• Background in wireline communication and equalization; familiarity with SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer), CDR (clock-and-data recovery), PLL (phase locked loop), ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).
