• Designing, developing, troubleshooting, and debugging multi-Gb/s SERDES IP.
• Working from SerDes standards to block specifications to identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies.
• Collaborating with a cross-functional design team of analog and digital designers from diverse backgrounds.
• Utilizing a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team.
• Ensuring designs meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
• Documenting design processes and results for knowledge sharing and future reference.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Contributing to the development of cutting-edge high-speed analog integrated circuits.
• Enhancing the performance and reliability of SERDES IP used in various high-tech applications.
• Driving innovation in analog and mixed-signal design methodologies.
• Collaborating with a talented team to deliver world-class design solutions.
• Supporting the growth and success of Synopsys' analog and mixed-signal R&D initiatives.
• Ensuring the seamless integration of analog and digital components in complex systems.

What You’ll Need:

• In-depth familiarity with transistor-level circuit design and CMOS design fundamentals.
• Exposure to SERDES sub-circuits (e.g., TX, RX, adaptive equalizers, PLL, DLL, ADC, BGR, regulators).
• Awareness of ESD issues and circuit techniques for mitigation.
• Familiarity with custom digital design for high-speed logic paths.
• Knowledge of design for reliability (e.g., EM, IR, aging) and layout effects (e.g., matching, reliability, proximity effects).
• Proficiency with custom design tools such as Cadence, HSPICE, HSIM, and Ultrasim.
• Experience with scripting languages for post-processing simulation results (e.g., TCL, PERL, MATLAB).
• Understanding of system-level budgeting for jitter, amplitude, noise, etc.
• Awareness of signal integrity issues, including packaging effects, board parasitics, crosstalk, and noise.

Who You Are:

• A collaborative team player who excels in a cross-functional environment.
• A problem solver with strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• An effective communicator with excellent documentation skills.
• A self-motivated individual with a passion for continuous learning and innovation.
• Adaptable and able to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.
