I korthet
Synopsys is hiring an Analog Design Engineer in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to design and develop analog building blocks for SERDES, DDR, and memory IP. This role requires hands-on experience with analog circuit design, simulation tools, and an understanding of reliability and layout effects, with minimal supervision.
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.
Önskade kvalifikationer
- 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.
- Ability to explain circuit topology choices clearly and defend them in design reviews.
- Skill in managing multiple design tasks concurrently while tracking corner cases, margin checks, and documentation.
- Proactive approach to identifying necessary simulations and adjustments based on failure modes.
- Treats layout engineers as design partners and understands the importance of layout quality.
- Comfortable working independently but knows when to seek help or escalate risks.
- Stays current with new process nodes, design techniques, and reliability challenges.
Förmåner
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.
- ETO and FTO Programs (Time Away).
- 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.
