In short
Synopsys sucht einen Staff Engineer für Validierung/Verifizierung in Nepean, Ontario. Die Rolle konzentriert sich auf das Design und die Validierung von Leiterplatten, die Analyse der Signalintegrität und die Fehlersuche in Hardware für Speicherinterfaces.
Responsibilities
- Design, layout, and validate printed circuit boards in Cadence Allegro for memory interface IP characterization and customer reference implementations
- Perform signal integrity analysis using S-parameters, eye diagrams, and crosstalk simulations to verify performance across multi-gigabit interfaces
- Debug hardware systems using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol analyzers to isolate root causes across silicon, firmware, layout, and test configurations
- Conduct design reviews with cross-functional teams to establish best practices for routing, power distribution, and design constraint compliance
- Execute root cause analysis on validation failures to determine whether issues originate from silicon behavior, board design, or environmental conditions
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
- 6-8+ years of hardware design and validation experience focused on high-speed digital and mixed-signal systems
- Expert-level proficiency in Cadence Allegro for schematic capture, PCB layout, and constraint-driven design
- Comprehensive understanding of signal integrity principles including S-parameters, impedance control, crosstalk, intersymbol interference, and return loss
- Demonstrated experience debugging hardware using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and protocol analyzers
- Working knowledge of communication interfaces including JTAG, I2C, SPI, and UART, with understanding of routing requirements and protocol-level diagnostics
Desired Qualifications
- Independently manage complex technical problems across multiple engineering disciplines with minimal supervision
- Systematically determine whether failures originate from silicon, firmware, board design, or test setup and reach conclusions efficiently
- Communicate technical findings clearly to design, firmware, and customer-facing teams in actionable formats
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers while allowing them to develop ownership of their work
- Challenge incomplete validation coverage and ensure root cause analysis proceeds beyond surface-level correlation
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings
- Reasonable accommodation provided throughout the recruitment and employment process for individuals with disabilities
