Analog Design, Staff Engineer
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
In this role, you will work on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps 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. 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.
Main Responsibilities:
- Investigate and contribute developing circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks and drive to revolutionary improvements in power, area and performance targets.
- Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
- Document design features and test plans.
- Consult on the overall electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product. Investigate customer silicon data for design enhancements. Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.
- PhD, or MSc with 2+ years of practical analog IC design experience. Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar.
- Deep knowledge of transistor level circuit design, with particular focus on high-speed analog design
- Design experience with at least one sub-circuit 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
- Expertise of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
- Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling
- Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is a nice to have.
