Principal Systems/DSP Engineer — Digital

Job overview

The Principal Systems/DSP Engineer role is onsite in Mundelein, IL. Compensation is not specified. The engineer supports Eliyan’s development of next-generation 224G and 448G SerDes designs for chiplet-based systems. The role defines DSP architecture and develops system models, equalization algorithms, and clock-and-data-recovery approaches, helping translate system-level requirements into high-performance, manufacturable silicon designs.

What you'll do

• Define low-power DSP architectures for 224G PAM4 and 448G SerDes
• develop behavioral models of mixed-signal transceiver circuits
• optimize equalization and adaptive DSP algorithms
• derive analog front-end, DAC/ADC, and PLL targets
• simulate system trade-offs
• collaborate with analog, RTL, and physical design teams
• develop FEC solutions
• lead silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation planning.
