• Developing and aligning timing flow and methodology to ensure efficiency and quality of the team’s deliverables.
• Conducting design reviews and evaluating final results of timing views and reports.
• Presenting results of timing assessments or critical issue investigations and making recommendations for actions necessary to achieve desired results.
• Ensuring the team follows processes for maximum design quality.
• Consulting on the timing characteristics of the SerDes IP product and proposing solutions for STA timing closure.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Driving the development of high-performance analog integrated circuits that are central to our product offerings.
• Enhancing the efficiency and quality of our timing characterization and modeling processes.
• Ensuring the delivery of robust and reliable SERDES IP products to our customers.
• Contributing to the overall design quality and innovation within our analog and mixed signal R&D team.
• Enabling faster integration of capabilities into SoCs, meeting unique performance, power, and size requirements.
• Supporting Synopsys' mission to bring differentiated products to market quickly with reduced risk.

What You’ll Need:

• BTech or MTech with 12+ years of experience in IC design.
• Familiarity with transistor-level circuit design and CMOS design fundamentals.
• In-depth knowledge of setup and hold timing analysis.
• Experience with timing characterization, modeling, simulation, and verification.
• Proficiency with tools like Primetime, Nanotime, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with the physical layout of high-speed circuits (a plus).
• Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
• Experience with scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, C, Python, or MATLAB.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Experience working in a cross-functional, globally diverse environment.

Who You Are:

You are a dedicated and detail-oriented engineer with a knack for problem-solving. Your ability to work independently with minimal supervision while handling significant and unique issues sets you apart. You possess extensive expertise in your field and use your skills to contribute to organizational objectives. Your ability to communicate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders ensures that you can influence and drive critical projects to success.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be part of our fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team, developing high-speed analog integrated circuits. Our team is dedicated to innovation and excellence, leveraging a best-in-class design environment with a full suite of IC design tools, supplemented by custom in-house tools, and supported by an experienced software/CAD team. We collaborate across functions and geographies to deliver cutting-edge solutions that power the future of technology.
