SerDes Architecture and Modelling Engineer

This is a new opportunity for a SerDes Architecture and Modelling Engineer with our UK-based Semiconductor client. This role can be based in Cambridge or the Thames Valley.

With significant investment behind them and major growth plans, our client is recruiting into their Advanced R&D team, seeking a SerDes Architecture and Modelling Engineer. This is a research and architecture-focused position for an engineer who enjoys investigating new ideas, developing algorithms and creating models to explore the performance of next-generation high-speed communication systems.

The role has a strong emphasis on research, innovation and developing new architectural concepts rather than simply implementing established designs.

As a SerDes Architecture and Modelling Engineer, you will:

• Research and develop new concepts for high-speed serial communication systems
• Build system level models to investigate, compare and optimise new architectures
• Develop signal processing algorithms and evaluate their impact on link performance
• Use MATLAB, Python or C++ to model communication systems and test new ideas
• Work with architects and IC designers to translate research concepts into practical transceiver architectures
• Analyse system limitations including signal integrity, noise, power and clock recovery
• Define link budgets and block-level specifications based on system requirements
• Support analog, digital and verification teams throughout the development process

We’re looking for a technically strong communications or signal-processing engineer who can bridge mathematical modelling, software development, and high-speed semiconductor hardware design.

The ideal candidate has:

• Experience working on system-level modelling of communication systems, high-speed interfaces, SerDes, or related technologies
• An understanding of signal integrity, channel behaviour, noise, jitter, equalisation, and link-performance analysis
• An ability to translate system requirements into block-level specifications
• An ability to collaborate with analog, digital, verification, and architecture teams, to validate models against circuit simulations or measurements, and develop maintainable, tested modelling software.

Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance can be provided where needed. This is a fascinating, rare opportunity with one of Europe’s fastest growing Semiconductor companies.
