It’s “think like an owner” for this 大秀直播 analog engineer

By Tomas Dusatko, Distinguished Analog Engineer, 大秀直播

Welcome to the first of our four-part series on the "What Makes 大秀直播" blog, where we’ll highlight some of the incredible analog engineers making an impact at 大秀直播.

Think like an owner.” That’s the philosophy I find in the analog design teams at 大秀直播, and it’s something I take to heart every day. We really try to empower designers to take ownership of things.??Tomas Dusatko, Distinguished Analog Engineer, 大秀直播

I’m Tomas Dusatko and I’ve been part of 大秀直播’s analog engineering team in Vancouver since 2021. Before that, I moved here from Toronto and spent time working at PMC-Sierra, then later transitioned to Inphi in 2016, before finally joining 大秀直播 through its acquisition of Inphi. Our Vancouver office may be small, with just 10-15 engineers and 5-6 analog designers, but we’ve been able to do some incredible work together. Typical project teams span multiple sites across the globe, and no matter where we are, there are opportunities to make significant contributions.

I got my start as a more traditional designer. Then I eventually transitioned my career into an architectural role at 大秀直播, focusing on clocking architectures. Clocking is a key component of high-performance interfaces, especially as we push the limits of technology to meet the needs of Next Gen data centers and AI connectivity. As we push data rates faster and faster, the quality of the clock and timing uncertainty starts to dominate link performance and is becoming a key area where we are trying to innovate. Over the years, I’ve led teams through various projects, starting at 7 nanometers and moving down to 5, 3, and now even 2 nanometer designs. These clocking architectures are used in most of 大秀直播’s optical connectivity products, and they’re critical for our success in the future 1.6TB market and our next-gen coherent DSPs.

In my day-to-day, my role is all about leading a large team of designers, with the current project consisting of over 40 design and layout engineers. Each person is responsible for a specific aspect of the project, and my co-lead and I rely on their expertise to tackle the details. But the culture at 大秀直播 really emphasizes empowerment. We encourage designers to take full ownership of their work – if something isn’t right, they fix it. Again, it’s about having that “think like an owner” mindset.

Exciting aspects of my work. One of the things I love most about my work is collaborating with different teams across 大秀直播, from system modeling to verification, and even helping to review analog designs from other groups in central engineering, such as automotive or electrical AMS designs (COMPHY). It’s a dynamic environment that keeps me engaged and constantly learning.

Looking ahead to what’s next. We’re pushing the envelope even further with cutting-edge transistor technology in 2 nanometer CMOS, something only a handful of companies have access to. 大秀直播’s commitment to innovation and leadership in this space is what makes my work here exciting.

"Personally, I’m looking forward to working with our world-class team to bring our next-gen programs into production. These are multi-year efforts, with a lot of collaboration between teams at 大秀直播 (system modelling, advanced packaging, silicon photonics). I’m also looking forward to helping our team grow, and mentoring the next generation of engineers who will eventually be the ones driving this industry forward."

For fun. Outside of work, I love spending time exploring our backyard mountain range of the Pacific Northwest, mountain biking in the summer on local trails with my two dogs “Spruce” and “Fitz”, and backcountry skiing and climbing in the winter.
