About us We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects About our technology The semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution The Role We are seeking a skilled Senior High-Speed Analog/RF System Architect at Black Semiconductor to own the analog, RF, and high-speed SerDes architecture of the CMOS SoCs powering our graphene photonic interconnect technology. You will define the electrical architecture at the boundary between electronics and photonics, including PLLs, TIAs, drivers, equalizers, ADC/DACs, and CDRs, translating system-level performance targets into scalable and manufacturable SoC solutions. Working closely with the Photonics Circuit Designer, Package Electrical/SI Architect, analog design, and digital/EIC teams, you will drive architecture decisions across the complete electrical-to-optical channel. You will own system-level trade-offs across bandwidth, power, reach, cost, and manufacturability, while engaging directly with customers and product teams to translate deployment requirements into architectures and evaluate the impact and ROI of future features. To join our team, you should be excited to - Own the analog/RF and high-speed SerDes architecture for optical transceiver SoCs, defining solutions for drivers, TIAs, equalizers, ADC/DACs, PLLs, and CDRs targeting 112G/224G+ PAM4 and next-generation interconnects. - Define and maintain Analog Product Requirement Specifications (PRS) per product, including architecture, verification plans, and performance, power, and area (PPA) estimates. - Drive system-level link budget closure across the complete electrical-to-optical channel, accounting for transmitter impairments, channel loss, reflection, crosstalk, and receiver noise for Integrated Graphene Photonics (IGP)-enabled optical links. - Own the Analog IP roadmap, aligning architecture direction with technology capabilities, EDA flows, and contractor/external design partnerships. - Partner with the Photonics Circuit Designer, Package Electrical/SI Architect, and SoC design teams to reconcile analog/RF architecture decisions with PIC layout, package electrical constraints, and system requirements. - Define Customer Requirement Documents (CRDs) for customer engagements and collaborate directly with customers to ensure architecture choices meet deployment requirements. - Lead SoC concept and feasibility studies by exploring architectural options, driving system-level trade-offs, recommending final architectures, and supporting product teams in modeling use cases and ROI for candidate architectural features. - Track and incorporate relevant interconnect standards, including PCIe, UCIe, CXL, and emerging die-to-die and optical standards, into architecture decisions. Your Qualifications - Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degre
