Staff Engineer - Analog Design
Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering
In short
Synopsys is seeking a Staff Engineer with expertise in analog and IO circuit design. This role involves designing and micro-architecting critical interface circuits, ensuring their reliability and performance across advanced technology nodes for AI, automotive, and space applications.
Responsibilities
- Design and micro-architect analog and IO circuits from specifications, including GPIOs, I2C, I3C, SD-eMMC PHY, SPI, SPMI, RGMII, ONFI, RFFE, I2S, UART, and SMBUS blocks
- Develop circuit topologies that meet PPA targets across advanced technology nodes including sub-2nm GAA, GAE, FinFET, FDSOI, and bulk processes
- Perform detailed network analysis, transistor-level simulations, and corner analysis to validate design performance and reliability
- Conduct design reliability analysis including ESD, latch-up, aging, and stress testing to meet automotive, space, and industrial standards
- Collaborate with layout teams to ensure designs are optimized for area, parasitic effects, and manufacturability
- Work with foundry PDKs to ensure designs are aligned with process capabilities and constraints across all top foundries
- Drive continuous improvement in design methodologies to reduce turnaround time and improve design quality
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent technical field
- 2 to 6 years of hands-on experience in analog circuit design, IO design, or mixed-signal design
- Deep understanding of analog circuit design techniques including amplifiers, references, regulators, comparators, and interface circuits
- Strong grasp of semiconductor device physics and how transistor-level behavior impacts circuit performance across process nodes
- Proficiency in network analysis and ability to apply it to real-world circuit design problems
- Good grip on design reliability analysis including ESD, latch-up, aging, and stress effects
- Experience with circuit simulation tools such as HSPICE, Spectre, or similar SPICE-based environments
- Knowledge of IO standards such as I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, SD, MIPI, or similar protocols is a strong plus
Desired Qualifications
- You can explain a design tradeoff between speed, power, and area in a design review without losing the technical nuance
- You are the kind of engineer who runs one more corner case because you know that is where the design will break if it is going to
- You do not treat layout as someone else's problem. You work with the team to make sure the design intent survives through GDS
- You are a strong team player who shares knowledge, reviews designs with peers, and learns from every tapeout
- You are focused on continuous learning and improvement, staying current with foundry roadmaps and new process technologies
- You communicate clearly and can translate complex circuit behavior into actionable insights for cross-functional teams
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.
- In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs.
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more.
- Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back.
- Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country.
- Competitive salaries.
