Descriptions & Requirements

Job Description and Requirements
At Synopsys, we’re at the heart of the innovations that change the way we work and play. Self-driving cars. Artificial Intelligence. The cloud. 5G. The Internet of Things. These breakthroughs are ushering in the Era of Smart Everything. And we’re powering it all with the world’s most advanced technologies for chip design and software security. If you share our passion for innovation, we want to meet you.

Our Silicon IP business is all about integrating more capabilities into an SoC—faster. We offer the world’s broadest portfolio of silicon IP—predesigned blocks of logic, memory, interfaces, analog, security, and embedded processors. All to help customers integrate more capabilities. Meet unique performance, power, and size requirements of their target applications. And get differentiated products to market quickly with reduced risk. 

Senior Analog Design Engineer

We're looking for a Staff Analog Design Engineer to join our team.
Does this sound like a good role for you?

In this role, you will work on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest FinFET process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our environment is best in class with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team.
 
Preferred Experience
  • Review SerDes standards to develop novel transceiver architectures and sub-block specifications
  • Investigate and develop circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks and lead to revolutionary improvements in power, area and performance targets
  • Work across project and department teams to streamline design and verification strategies ensure overall design quality, efficiency and performance
  • Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation
  • Present & review simulation data from internal project teams.  Present results externally at industry panels or at customer reviews
  • Document design features and test plans
  • Consult on the overall electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product.  Analyze customer silicon data for design enhancements.  Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates
 
Key Qualifications
  • PhD with 3+ years, or MSc with 5+ years of practical analog IC design experience; degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other relevant field of study
  • In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals
  • Extensive design experience with most sub-circuits relevant to SerDes:
    • receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC
  • Knowledge of SerDes, circuit and fabrication issues that directly impact customer use-cases
  • Aware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout)
  • Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed logic paths)
