In short

Synopsys seeks a Senior Analog Design Manager to lead a team developing multi-Gbps SerDes IP in advanced FinFET and GAA nodes. Responsibilities include technical design reviews, project scheduling, and team mentorship to enable PCIe and Ethernet connectivity in customer products.

Responsibilities

Lead a team of analog designers developing multi-Gbps NRZ and PAM4 SerDes IP from standards analysis through silicon bring-up
Conduct technical design reviews for critical SerDes sub-circuits including equalizers, samplers, voltage and current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCOs, phase mixers, DLLs, PLLs, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs
Translate SerDes standards and system requirements into block-level specifications and circuit architectures that your team can execute against
Review simulation results, electrical characterization data, and post-silicon debug findings, then recommend design updates or corrective actions
Build project schedules and action plans that keep complex analog IP development on track across multiple process nodes
Develop and mentor your team through hiring, technical coaching, design reviews, and career growth conversations
Work cross-functionally with digital designers, verification engineers, layout teams, and CAD to resolve mixed-signal integration and timing challenges

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering or related field
14+ years of hands-on analog design experience focused on high-speed SerDes applications
1 to 2 years in a management or supervisory role leading analog design teams
Deep transistor-level circuit design expertise with strong CMOS fundamentals and experience across a wide range of SerDes sub-circuits including receive equalizers, samplers, drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCOs, phase mixers, DLLs, PLLs, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs
Proven ability to design IP for high-speed connectivity standards such as PCIe and Ethernet
Solid understanding of mixed-signal design challenges including analog-digital interface timing, ESD circuit techniques and layout, custom digital design for high-speed logic paths, and layout effects like matching, reliability, and proximity
Experience with design-for-reliability considerations including electromigration, IR drop, and aging effects

Desired Qualifications

Stay technically hands-on even in a management role
Ability to assess complex analog work quickly and identify risk areas
Build schedules that reflect reality
Communicate clearly with people outside of your domain
Care about growing your team
Push back when something does not make sense and propose alternatives
