In short
Synopsys seeks a Senior/Staff Power Integrity Engineer for its Ho Chi Minh City team. This role involves leading end-to-end power integrity analysis for UCIe PHY and high-speed I/O systems, optimizing power delivery networks, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable power to multi-gigabit interfaces in advanced chiplet-based systems. Requires a Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience and proficiency in PI tools and modeling.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end power integrity analysis across die, package, and PCB for UCIe PHY and high-speed I/O systems, from VRM to on-die power grid
- Develop and optimize Power Delivery Network architecture, performing DC IR drop, AC impedance, transient response, and resonant analysis
- Build and validate electrical models for silicon, package substrates, PCBs, decoupling capacitors, and voltage regulators using S-parameters, IBIS, and SPICE
- Define target impedance requirements and analyze simultaneous switching noise, ground bounce, and power-induced jitter
- Collaborate with package, PCB, signal integrity, and PHY teams to optimize decoupling strategies and power distribution topologies
- Support silicon bring-up by correlating lab measurements with simulation results and refining models for future designs
Requirements
- Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of hands-on experience in Power Integrity or high-speed interface design
- Deep understanding of Power Delivery Network design, including DC IR drop, AC impedance, transient analysis, and resonance mitigation
- Proven experience with die-package-board co-design for high-speed interfaces such as UCIe, PCIe, DDR, SerDes, or HBM
- Proficiency with PI tools such as Cadence Sigrity, Ansys SIwave, Ansys HFSS, Ansys RedHawk-SC, Keysight ADS, or PowerSI
- Strong working knowledge of S-parameters, IBIS/IBIS-AMI modeling, SPICE simulation, and frequency-domain analysis
- Scripting experience in Python, Tcl, or MATLAB for automation and data analysis
Desired Qualifications
- Ability to translate between PHY designers and package engineers without losing technical accuracy
- Tendency to dig into model assumptions when simulation results do not match intuition
- Methodical approach to problems with the ability to pivot quickly
- Organizational skills for managing multiple concurrent analyses
- Ability to correlate lab data with simulation to improve future models
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
- ETO and FTO Programs
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
- ESPP (Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back)
- Retirement plans
- Competitive salaries
