Responsibilities
- Design and optimize memory circuits including SRAM bitcells, sense amplifiers, decoders, and peripheral blocks for advanced process nodes
- Run SPICE simulations using tools like HSPICE or Spectre to validate circuit performance across PVT corners and operating conditions
- Perform margin analysis and characterization to ensure robustness of memory designs under voltage, temperature, and process variation
- Debug circuit-level issues by analyzing simulation results, identifying failure modes, and proposing design fixes
- Collaborate with verification, layout, and product teams across Bengaluru and global sites to close design and characterization loops
- Document design decisions, characterization results, and analysis flows for use by the broader memory IP team
- Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug by correlating measured data with simulation predictions
Requirements
- BTech or MTech in Electronics Engineering, VLSI Engineering, or equivalent from a recognized institution
- 4 to 6 years of hands-on experience in memory circuit design, characterization, or verification
- Strong understanding of SRAM, register file, or embedded memory architectures and circuit topologies
- Proficiency in SPICE simulation tools such as HSPICE, Spectre, or similar for circuit analysis and debug
- Solid foundation in CMOS fundamentals, device physics, and digital circuit design principles
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with margin analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, or statistical characterization methods is a strong plus
- Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL for automating simulation and analysis flows is helpful
Benefits
- Competitive salaries
- 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
