Overview
Our Hardware Engineers at Synopsys are responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. They work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products. These engineers play a crucial role in advancing technology and enabling innovations in various industries.
Job Description
- Review SerDes standards and architecture documents to develop analog sub-block specifications.
- Identify and refine circuit implementations to achieve optimal power, area and performance targets.
- Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure highest quality design.
- Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
- Collaborate with digital RTL engineers on the development of calibration, adaptation and control algorithms for analog circuits.
- Present simulation data for peer and customer review.
- Mentor and Review the progress of junior engineers.
- Document design features and test plans.
- Consult on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SerDes IP product.
Job Requirements:
- PhD with 5+ years, or MSc with 8+ years of SerDes/High-Speed analog design experience.
- In-depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals.
- Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits for the TX, RX and Clock paths within a SerDes
- Detailed design experience with several of the following SerDes sub-circuits:
receive equalizers, data samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase interpolator, delay-locked loop, phase-locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC - Experience optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to minimize the effect of parasitic resistance and capacitance, and to reduce the effects of local device mismatch and proximity effects.
- Awareness of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout). and design for reliability (i.e. electro-migration, IR, aging, etc.).
- Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
- Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
- Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
- Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB.
