Create and simulate behavioural models for high speed serial communication.

The candidate will join the system/architecture team currently involved in the development of a transceiver aiming a wired communication up to 112Gbs through cables or wired traces on electronic boards, thus interconnecting at this very high speed two different integrated circuits located in different boards or on the same board.

Such high speed interconnections require multiple analog and digital equalizations and signal processing techniques in order to obtain a reliable communication despite multiple impairments present inside the communication environment.

For this reason such transceivers require an accurate modeling and simulations of all the system components to ensure that the overall performances will be achieved.
System simulations are commonly performed by means of computer tools like Matlab, by implementing models of the individual functions, and simulating these models predicting resulting performances.

The candidate will have the opportunity of acquiring from the team knowledge of the specific communication techniques used at very high speed, according to the modern state of the art communication standards, and to contribute to the team itself for the development of the new generations of communication systems.

The candidate will be required to operate with computer modeling and simulation tools like Matlab and Simulink.

It is required a basic electronic knowledge on electronic integrated circuits and on the basic theory of control systems.

An electronic engineering laurea degree, or similar is required just to give the basics of understandings of the specific problematics.
