Principal Analog Circuit Designer

Ciena’s WaveLogic family of products plays a critical role in enabling high-speed optical fiber transmission and advancing broadband connectivity solutions. This position contributes to the design and delivery of advanced analog circuits that power next-generation coherent optical technologies. The role is part of a team with a long history of innovation in high-speed data conversion and optical communication systems.

How you will make an impact:

• Lead design of advanced high-speed analog circuits in deep-submicron CMOS and/or BiCMOS technologies

• Deliver optical-line-facing ADC circuits interfacing with optical modulators and detectors within mixed-signal IP blocks

• Develop precision analog circuits for control and monitoring functions within integrated solutions

• Evaluate circuit topologies and recommend implementation approaches based on trade-off analysis

• Define and contribute to circuit requirement specifications in collaboration with cross-functional teams

• Design multi-phase clock generation and distribution circuits through to full GDSII delivery

• Perform lab-based characterization of analog circuits from test chips through full product implementation

The must haves:

• Education: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other applicable scientific discipline

• 7+ years of experience contributing to designs in advanced CMOS and/or BiCMOS technology

• A highly motivated self-starter able to work independently and collaborate within a team environment

• Ability to address complex technical problems using methodical approaches

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

• Utilization of design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, STAR-RC, and MMSIM for analog design

• Demonstrated delivery of analog circuit designs at mm-wave frequencies

Nice to haves:

• Experience with 2.5D or 3D electromagnetic modeling tools such as HFSS or EMX

• Experience designing high-performance clock generation and distribution circuits

• Experience with mixed-signal design validation using advanced probing and test equipment
