Staff Engineer, Custom Analog Layout

작업 내용

The successful candidate shall utilize advanced CAD tools and mask design knowledge to deliver correct and robust layout that meet stringent analog matching performance, area and power requirements. He or she will be working on the latest process technologies. He or she shall work closely with circuit designers to generate high-quality layout in a highly efficient way.

Imagine being part of a team that is fundamentally changing the way people communicate, the way they collaborate, the way they watch TV and explore the universe through the internet. Utilizing our uniquely differentiated technology, we have created an Intelligent Transport Network with more speed, capacity and scalability than ever before. Imagine a world with unlimited bandwidth. The network of tomorrow will allow for content and creativity limited only by the imaginations of its users.

If this is something that interests you, that excites you, come take a look at a team not bound by large company obstacles and bureaucracy, where an idea today can be set in motion tomorrow. Come take a look at Infinera!

Engaging in the high-speed analog circuit design, you have the chance to create the technical differentiation for Infinera to hold the market leadership. We together will revolutionize the era of efficient high speed transmission by building the cutting-edge circuitry.
