They work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products. These engineers play a crucial role in advancing technology and enabling innovations in various industries. You have spent years deep in transistor-level design, building circuits that close timing, meet power budgets, and survive silicon. At Synopsys, you will work on SerDes PHY IP that ships in real products, with a team in Yerevan that takes this work seriously. ### Responsibilities - Design and verify transistor-level analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-speed SerDes PHY IP, including transmitters, receivers, PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, equalizers, and bias circuits - Develop circuit architectures and run tradeoff analysis across performance, power, noise, jitter, and reliability - Execute DC, AC, transient, cross-corner PVT, aging, EMIR/SHE, and Monte Carlo simulations to validate robustness - Build and validate circuit simulation models and Verilog-A behavioral models for IP integration - Review custom layout implementations and collaborate with layout engineers to ensure post-layout performance meets spec - Prepare technical documentation, lead design reviews, and present tradeoff decisions to cross-functional teams - Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on circuit design, simulation methodology, and debugging ### The Impact You Will Have - Your circuit architecture will define the performance envelope for SerDes PHY IP used in high-speed communication products - Your simulation rigor will reduce post-silicon surprises and accelerate time to market - The models you develop will enable system-level validation for customers, building next-generation AI and data center platforms - Your layout reviews will catch issues that would otherwise surface in silicon, saving months of debug ### Requirements - BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering - 4+ years of hands-on experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design in advanced CMOS technology nodes - Deep expertise in transistor-level design, custom IC design flow, and layout effects including parasitics, matching, and proximity - Proven experience designing and verifying transmitters, receivers, PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, equalizers, samplers, and reference circuits for high-speed SerDes or similar applications - Strong simulation skills across DC/AC/Transient, cross-corner PVT, aging, EMIR/SHE, and Monte Carlo methods - Experience developing circuit simulation models and Verilog-A behavioral models - Proficiency with scripting using TCL, Python, Perl, MATLAB, or C. - Experience with AI tools for design automation is a plus ### Benefits - 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 ## Skills ### Required - analog and mixed-signal IC design - transistor-level design - custom IC design flow - layout effects - parasitics - matching - proximity - SerDes PHY IP - DC/AC/Transient simulation - cross-corner PVT - aging - EMIR/SHE - Monte Carlo methods - circuit simulation models - Verilog-A behavioral models - scripting using TCL, Python, Perl, MATLAB, or C ### Nice to have - AI tools for design automation --- Source: [Apply at careers.synopsys.com](https://careers.synopsys.com/job/yerevan/analog-design-staff-engineer/44408/96474803008?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
