I korthet
Synopsys is seeking a Staff Engineer for ASIC Digital Design to join their SerDes PHY IP firmware team in Seongnam-si, South Korea. This role involves hands-on firmware design, development, silicon bring-up, and customer issue resolution for next-generation SerDes PHY IP supporting protocols like PCIe, Ethernet, and MIPI M-PHY.
Ansvarsområden
- Develop firmware for next-generation SerDes PHY IP supporting multiple protocols, including PCIe, Ethernet, and MIPI M-PHY.
- Design and maintain firmware for PHY startup, offset calibration, and adaptation flows.
- Analyze and debug interactions between firmware, analog/mixed-signal front-end circuits, and digital PCS/PMA blocks.
- Collaborate closely with systems, analog design, digital design, verification, and lab teams during firmware development and debugging.
- Support and enhance existing firmware applications and features.
- Develop and maintain firmware development infrastructure and tools.
- Develop and improve firmware documentation to enhance customer usability and support.
- Investigate and resolve customer-reported firmware issues and failures.
- Lead firmware integration, debugging, and silicon bring-up activities on assigned areas.
- Contribute to improvements in firmware design methodologies and system-level architecture through collaboration with cross-functional teams.
Krav
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
- 8+ years of experience in a related field.
- Understanding of both digital logic and firmware/software development, with in-depth specialization in either.
- Hands-on experience with assembly-level firmware development for embedded controllers or custom PHY sequencer ISAs.
- Working knowledge of high-speed SerDes fundamentals and familiarity with at least one high-speed SerDes standard (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, MIPI M-PHY, USB, or DisplayPort).
- Experience with structured firmware development, verification, and documentation processes.
- Familiarity with embedded software toolchains, including cross-compilers, assemblers, and on-target debuggers.
- Ability to read and debug Verilog RTL (e.g., PHY FSM/sequencer RTL) to reason about firmware–hardware interactions.
- Business-level English communication skills, both written and verbal, to work effectively with global cross-functional teams and customers.
Önskade kvalifikationer
- Deep expertise in PCIe, Ethernet, or MIPI M-PHY protocol layers.
- Experience with multi-protocol SerDes PHY architectures.
- RTL design or verification experience.
- Scripting experience with Perl, Python, Bash, or Csh.
- Silicon bring-up and lab debugging experience, including waveform tools (e.g., Verdi/FSDB), scopes, or BER testers.
- Experience developing DSP microcode or firmware for other custom-ISA processors beyond PHY sequencers.
- Experience with Perforce or Git-based version control workflows.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools for code review, documentation, or test generation.
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.
