I korthet
Synopsys is looking for a Sr Staff Hardware Validation Engineer in Nepean, Ontario. This role involves designing, laying out, and validating PCBs for memory interface IP, analyzing high-speed signal behavior, and debugging board-level issues using various tools and techniques.
Ansvarsområden
- Design, layout, and validate PCBs in Cadence Allegro for memory interface IP characterization and customer reference designs
- Analyze high-speed signal behavior using S-parameters, eye diagrams, and crosstalk simulations to ensure signal integrity across multi-gigabit interfaces
- Route and validate communication interfaces including JTAG, I2C, and other low-speed control planes with attention to noise immunity and timing margins
- Debug board-level issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol analyzers to isolate failures across silicon, firmware, layout, and test setup
- Review design files and layout with cross-functional teams, teaching best practices for routing, decoupling, and design rule adherence
- Interpret simulation waveforms from SPICE, IBIS, and channel analysis tools to validate analog and mixed-signal circuit performance
- Drive root cause analysis on validation failures, determining whether issues stem from silicon behavior, board design, or environmental factors
Krav
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
- 6-8+ years of Hardware design and validation experience with a focus on high-speed digital and mixed-signal systems
- Expert-level proficiency in Cadence Allegro for schematic capture, PCB layout, and constraint-driven design
- Deep understanding of signal integrity concepts including S-parameters, impedance control, crosstalk, intersymbol interference, and return loss
- Strong knowledge of analog IC circuit design and the ability to analyze SPICE simulation waveforms and correlate them to measured behavior
- Hands-on experience debugging hardware using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other bench instrumentation
- Experience with communication interfaces such as JTAG, I2C, SPI, and UART, including routing best practices and protocol-level debug
- Knowledge of PCB stack-up design and high-speed materials
Önskade kvalifikationer
- You drive complex technical problems independently across multiple disciplines without waiting for direction
- You diagnose whether a failure is silicon, firmware, board, or test setup and make the call quickly
- You translate technical findings into clear recommendations that design, firmware, and customer teams can act on
- You mentor junior engineers through their first characterization projects without taking over the work
- You push back when validation coverage is thin or root cause stops at correlation instead of causation
Förmåner
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
- ETO and FTO Programs
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
- Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back
- Retirement plans that vary by region and country
- Competitive salaries
