Job Description and Requirements
We Are:
At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, powering self-driving cars, cloud infrastructure, and learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.


You Are:
A Staff‑level analog/MS engineer who owns complex designs end‑to‑end, influences architecture, and mentors others. You balance performance, reliability, and schedule in advanced CMOS and communicate clearly across teams.
If you are excited by the prospect of shaping high-speed connectivity in AI, cloud, automotive, and beyond - and you seek to empower some of the world’s most advanced systems - this role is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Taking end-to-end ownership of critical analog and mixed-signal blocks in high-speed SERDES designs
  • Making architectural and circuit-level tradeoffs to optimize power, performance, area, and reliability
  • Defining, verifying, and documenting testbenches for rigorous pre-silicon validation
  • Leading custom analog layout coordination, ensuring parasitic awareness and post-layout optimization
  • Driving robustness and quality sign-off processes, including PVT, mismatch, aging, reliability, and yield analysis
  • Aligning system-level interfaces and usability considerations for seamless integration
  • Executing silicon bring-up, characterization, and correlation against design specifications
  • Providing technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team

What You’ll Need:
  • MS/PhD in Electronics/Computer Engineer or equivalent; typically 7+ years or equivalent Staff‑level impact
  • Deep analog/MS in deep sub‑micron CMOS; signal integrity/noise/jitter
  • Proven architecture tradeoffs and production silicon experience
  • Strong custom analog layout collaboration; post‑layout optimization
  • Excellent communication; ability to influence across teams

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:
You will join the IP and System Solutions Group, a cornerstone of Synopsys' mission to enable the industry's most advanced silicon. The SERDES team is renowned for developing high-speed interface IP, deployed across a wide range of applications and technology nodes. This multidisciplinary group collaborates closely to deliver high-performance, power-efficient chips, optimizing power, performance, and area (PPA) while accelerating time-to-market. You’ll work alongside experts in architecture, circuit design, layout, and system integration, fostering innovation and excellence in every project.


Rewards and Benefits:
We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.

At Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
