• Developing and refining circuit implementations, leveraging advanced simulation tools to ensure robust functionality and manufacturability.
• Overseeing the physical layout process to minimize parasitic effects, device stress, and process variation, ensuring first-time-right silicon.
• Presenting simulation data, analysis, and design decisions in both internal peer reviews and external customer engagements.
• Documenting design features, test plans, and collaborating on the electrical characterization and validation of your circuits within the SERDES IP product portfolio.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of design methodologies, verification strategies, and best practices within the team.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enable the development and delivery of industry-leading high-speed PHY IP that powers global innovations in data centers, networking, storage, and consumer electronics.
• Accelerate customers’ time-to-market by providing robust, optimized analog circuit solutions that meet or exceed performance targets.
• Ensure the highest quality and reliability of silicon products, directly contributing to Synopsys’ reputation for excellence.
• Drive technological advancements in analog and mixed-signal design, influencing future product roadmaps and industry standards.
• Mentor and collaborate with fellow engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Represent Synopsys’ commitment to innovation and customer success in both technical forums and client interactions.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree (BE) plus 3+ years or Master’s degree (MTech) plus 2+ years of relevant experience in mixed-signal analog/custom circuit design, preferably in Electrical/Electronics/VLSI Engineering.
• Strong expertise in CMOS circuit design fundamentals, device physics, layout, parasitic extraction, and SPICE simulation for nanometer technologies.
• Experience in designing multi-Gbps high-speed circuits and familiarity with specs such as PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, and USB.
• Proficiency in full custom design of high-speed datapaths using digital/CMOS logic cells, and in verifying timing margins with advanced simulation tools.
• Knowledge of ESD and latchup design verification, crosstalk analysis, and the impact of mixed-signal integration on circuit performance.

Who You Are:

• Detail-oriented with a strong analytical mindset and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in multicultural, cross-site environments.
• Effective communicator, able to clearly articulate technical concepts to peers, management, and customers.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and committed to delivering high-quality results within tight timelines.
• Adaptable and eager to learn, keeping pace with rapid technological advancements in the semiconductor industry.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You’ll join the High-Speed SERDES Analog Design team, a diverse group of talented engineers dedicated to developing world-class analog and mixed-signal IP.
