I korthet
Synopsys is seeking an Analog Design Engineer in Mississauga, Ontario to design and develop analog building blocks for high-performance IP. This role requires hands-on experience with analog circuit design for SERDES, DDR, and memory, proficiency in CAD tools, and a strong understanding of reliability and layout effects.
Ansvarsområden
- Design and develop analog building blocks for SERDES, DDR, and memory IP, including PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, comparators, and bias circuits.
- Run simulations across process, voltage, and temperature corners to verify performance, reliability, and margin against spec.
- Identify and refine circuit topologies to hit power, area, and performance targets without compromising robustness.
- Work directly with layout engineers to ensure designs account for matching, proximity effects, electromigration, IR drop, and aging.
- Conduct design reviews with senior engineers and product teams, defending your choices and incorporating feedback.
- Contribute to design methodology improvements, whether that's updating simulation flows, refining checklists, or documenting lessons learned from previous tapeouts.
Krav
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or related field with a strong foundation in analog circuit design.
- Hands-on experience designing analog circuits for SERDES, DDR, memory, or similar high-speed or mixed-signal applications.
- Proficiency with industry-standard CAD tools for schematic capture, simulation, and corner analysis, tools like Cadence Virtuoso, HSPICE, or Spectre.
- Solid understanding of design for reliability including electromigration, IR drop, aging effects, and how they constrain circuit choices.
- Knowledge of layout effects such as matching requirements, proximity effects, and parasitic extraction, with experience collaborating closely with layout engineers or doing layout yourself.
- Experience with FinFET or Gate-All-Around process technologies is a plus.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug circuits that don't behave as expected, whether that's a simulation issue, a layout problem, or a fundamental design flaw.
Önskade kvalifikationer
- Ability to explain and defend circuit topology choices concisely.
- Skill in managing multiple design tasks simultaneously.
- Proactive approach to simulations and problem-solving.
- Treating layout engineers as design partners.
- Comfort working independently while knowing when to seek help.
- Staying current with new process nodes, design techniques, and reliability challenges.
Förmåner
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans.
- ETO and FTO Programs for time away.
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance.
- ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan) with a 15% discount and 24-month look-back.
- Retirement Plans (vary by region and country).
- Competitive salaries.
