You are an expert in system-level architecture for serial-link transceivers, with 15+ years of experience and a passion for pushing technology boundaries. You thrive in cross-functional teams, communicate complex ideas clearly, and have a track record of successful product development. Your deep knowledge of high-speed analog/digital design and strong leadership make you an ideal fit.

 What You'll Be Doing:
 * Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver
 * Modelling: design and maintenance of the system level model
 * Signal/Power Integrity: analyzing different signal and power integrity requirements 
 * Sign-off: system level simulation of the design performance across multiple protocols and channels
 * Silicon: qualification and correlation of performance and algorithms in silicon
 * Customers: assisting customers on system level performance and algorithmic issues 

 What You'll Need:
 * You have a MSc or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 15+ yrs of experience.
 * Familiarity with modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in Matlab or similar tool
 * Knowledge of circuit topologies in high-speed Rx/Tx SerDes PHY
 * Understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques.
 * Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics
 * Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links
 * Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including Ethernet, OIF, JESD, CPRI
 * Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links

Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following:
* Modelling - experience in Matlab/Simulink/C modeling of circuits and systems
* Communications theory - equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering
 * Digital - background in digital signal process (DSP)
 * Analog - background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design
 * Hardware - awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance

 The Impact You Will Have:
 * Drive next-gen connectivity solutions.
 * Advance Synopsys' technical leadership.
 * Enable superior performance for customers.
 * Mentor and elevate team expertise.
 * Contribute to industry standards.
 * Promote collaboration and innovation
