EDUCATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS 

Currently a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering or a related field with an accredited school in the USA. 

• Hands-on experience and publications in the design, layout, and testing of ultra-high-speed analog, digital, and/or mixed-signal integrated circuits implemented in nano-scale CMOS and/or SiGe BiCMOS technologies.
• Experience in high-speed circuit simulation and characterization using Cadence Spectre, Agilent ADS, GoldenGate, and 3D EM simulators.
• Excellent verbal communication and technical writing skills in English.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Experience in system modeling and system requirement analysis using Matlab or Cadence.
• Experience in mm-wave testing and characterization using a network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, high-speed oscilloscope, etc.

As part of our team, you will: 

• Perform advanced research in the architecture, design, and characterization of ultra-high frequency (up to near-THz) and ultra-broadband integrated circuits for wireless and wireline applications.
• Investigate and implement high-performance integrated wireless and optical transceivers in silicon-based nano-scale semiconductor technologies.
• Work directly with other Bell Labs researchers to define novel architecture, assess system functionality, design high-performance integrated circuits, simulate, layout, and characterize state-of-the-art ICs operating in the mm-Wave frequencies.
