Leads the design and development of high-speed analog, RF, and mixed-signal ICs for coherent optical and PAM4 communication systems. Responsibilities include transistor-level architecture, circuit design, layout, silicon bring-up, characterization, RF wafer probing, specification development, design reviews, and collaboration with product engineering and optical systems teams. Provides technical guidance and mentorship while developing solutions using SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS processes.
Join Nokia's advanced photonics and semiconductor design team, developing next-generation analog ICs for high-speed optical communication systems. In this role, you will design and lead development of high speed Transmit (TIA) and Receive (MZMD) components for coherent long-haul and metro systems as well as PAM4 data center systems, primarily using SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS processes.
You will play a key role in delivering innovative solutions that enable faster, more efficient data transmission across data centers and telecommunications networks, and emerging AI-driven infrastructure.
Responsibilities- Responsible for design and development of Transmit (TIA) and Receive (MZMD) components for optical network systems (Coherent, PAM4, etc.).
- Innovate and develop new architecture utilizing advanced process nodes, preparing these processes for subsequent product development.
- In charge of many aspects of IC product development, such as design, layout, silicon bring-up and characterization.
- Collaborate with product engineering and optical system groups to evaluate, develop, and refine "white box" specifications into detailed electrical specifications for both Tx and Rx components.
- Provide significant technical contributions to design reviews, verifying design integrity and adherence to standards.
- Work with ASIC group by applying Nokia documentation standards to optimize development cycles.
- Offer technical guidance and share best practices in optical network design and development to mentor new hires and junior team members.
- Master's (M.S.) or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 10 years of related experience in Analog/RF ASIC design and development
- Demonstrated experience in high-speed Analog/RF IC designs (TIA, MZMD) with SiGe BiCMOS technology
- Proven experience in:
- Low noise / high linear (>80GHz) broadband analog circuits for optical front-end
- High-precision analog circuits (e.g., linear regulators, bandgaps, DAC/ADC).
- Deep understanding of detailed transistor-level design, device physics, and control/feedback loop stability analysis
- Knowledge of transmission lines and other high-frequency passive structures
- Strong understanding of package and board-level design optimization
- Experience with RF wafer probing, lab equipment, and evaluation of high-speed analog ICs
- Demonstrated ability to independently resolve complex organizational and technical challenges
- Solid expertise with EDA CAD tools, custom analog layout, 3D EM modeling
- Strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities
- Highly- self-motivated, detail-oriented, and results-driven
- Must be a team player with good verbal and written communication skills

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
