I korthet

Synopsys is looking for a Senior Staff Analog Design Engineer with extensive experience in SerDes IP design, including drivers, PLLs, and CDR circuits. The role involves designing circuits for AI accelerators, data centers, automotive, and consumer electronics, requiring deep expertise in SPICE simulations, sub-micron CMOS processes, and optimization of layout for performance and reliability.

Ansvarsområden

  • Design and optimize analog front-end building blocks for SerDes IP, including voltage and current-mode drivers, equalizers (CTLE, FFE, DFE), CDR circuits, PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, phase interpolators, bandgaps, and regulators.
  • Run SPICE simulations across PVT corners and create verification test benches that validate performance against PCIe 6.0, PCIe 7.0, PAM4, Ethernet, USB, HDMI, or other high-speed protocol specifications.
  • Collaborate closely with layout engineers to minimize parasitic resistance and capacitance, reduce mismatch, and account for proximity effects in sub-micron CMOS processes.
  • Work with digital RTL engineers to verify calibration loops, adaptation algorithms, and control logic that tune analog circuits in real time.
  • Present simulation results, design tradeoffs, and performance data in peer reviews and customer-facing technical discussions.
  • Document circuit architecture, design features, verification strategies, and test plans for integration into larger SerDes products.
  • Own the full lifecycle of blocks from spec to silicon, including post-layout verification, characterization support, and design-for-reliability checks for electromigration, IR drop, aging, and ESD.

Krav

  • PhD with 2+ years of hands-on SerDes or high-speed analog design experience, or BTech/MTech with 5 to 10 years in the same domain.
  • Silicon-proven experience designing and bringing up analog or mixed-signal blocks in production chips.
  • Deep expertise in at least several of these building blocks: analog front-end transceivers, voltage/current-mode drivers, PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, CDR circuits, bandgaps, regulators, CTLE, FFE, DFE, impedance calibrators, serializers, deserializers, or phase interpolators.
  • Strong proficiency with SPICE simulation tools and sub-micron CMOS design methodologies.
  • Experience optimizing layout for performance, including parasitic extraction, device matching, stress effects, and design-for-reliability considerations like electromigration, IR drop, and aging.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as TCL or Perl for automation and simulation flow setup is a strong plus.
  • Working knowledge of high-speed serial standards like PAM4, PCIe 6.0, PCIe 7.0, Ethernet, USB, SATA, HDMI, or MIPI is highly valued.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • You can take a specification document and translate it into a circuit architecture without waiting for someone to hand you a reference design.
  • You catch layout issues early, you review floorplans and flag where a long metal run or poor device placement will degrade performance before it becomes a post-layout surprise.
  • You are comfortable presenting technical data to peers and customers, you can walk someone through a Bode plot or an eye diagram and explain what it means for margin and yield.
  • You push back when a requirement does not make sense or when a verification plan has gaps, you care about getting it right more than checking a box.
  • You work well across teams, coordinating with digital designers on control loops, with layout on physical implementation, and with characterization engineers on test plans.
  • You stay current on process technology and circuit techniques, not because it is trendy but because it helps you design better blocks.

Förmåner

  • 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.
