Analog Design, Staff Engineer

Analog Design Staff Engineer

Synopsys is the leading provider of high-quality, silicon-proven IP SerDes products, implemented on the most advanced CMOS technologies. We are looking for Analog Design Engineers to develop Synopsys’ highest speed SerDes products, supporting Ethernet and PCIe standards.

You will be part of a fast growing analog and mixed signal R&D team, developing high-speed analog integrated circuits in the most advanced FinFET/GAA process nodes.

You’ll interact with a global, dynamic, multi-cultural and cross-functional design team.

Main Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the development of medium to large complexity analog circuits
• Coordinate analog designers to develop and/or validate analog circuits considering electrical specifications and reliability constraints
• Define and plan analog design activities and associated milestones
• Prepared and conduct design reviews, and follow-up on identified improvements
• Evaluate the impact of parasitic effects related to layout implementations. Work with the layout team to minimize such effects, improving performance, power and area.
• Silicon correlation with simulation results

About our work:

SerDes are serial link transceiver products that perform high-speed chip-to-chip communications. They are key components in today’s most widely adopted devices and systems, across a wide range of markets such as: Mobile, Automotive, Cloud Computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet-of-Things (IoT), 5G, Storage. SerDes products can support multiple data rates and standards like USB, HDMI, MIPI, PCI Express (PCIe), Ethernet, etc.

Key Qualifications

• M.Sc. degree on Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of experience
• Good team player
• Good analysis, problem-solving and organization skills
• Good written and verbal communication in English
• Familiarity with one or more IC design packages
• Familiarity with UNIX operating Systems

Preferred Experience

• Previous industry experience  on CMOS analog design or specialization (e.g. Ph.D.) in a relevant area (ADC, DAC, PLL, Rx, Tx, References, etc.) are preferred
• Experience at coordinating junior engineers
• System level knowledge of SerDes system is a plus, but not mandatory
