SOC Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer (EMIR)

Our Hardware Engineers at Synopsys are responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. 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 are a passionate and driven EMIR Engineer with a strong foundation in EMIR analysis and signoff flows, PDN implementation, and a proven ability to independently own and deliver complex designs. With at least 5 years of hands-on experience in advanced technology nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, or even 3nm, you thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments and are eager to tackle new technical challenges. Your expertise spans the entire Power Integrity spectrum,from PDN design, Static & Dynamic Signal/Power EM & IR Drop analysis with or without simulation vectors, Peak Current Analysis, EMIR ECO generation, and full SoC Power Integrity signoff.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Independently own and drive full EMIR analysis and signoff closure for advanced process nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm), ensuring successful tape-outs.
• Execute PDN implementation, Static & Dynamic Signal/Power EM & IR Drop analysis with or without vectors, Peak Current Analysis, EMIR ECO generation, and full SoC Power Integrity signoff to meet stringent performance and power targets. Perform block-level, sub-system level and full-chip PDN implementation, EMIR analysis, and trade-off between EMIR signoff closure and timing closure activities. Collaborate with cross-functional teams across geographies to resolve complex design challenges and ensure design quality and schedule adherence.
• Utilize and optimize Synopsys EDA tools, including Redhawk, Redhawk-SC, PrimeRail and PrimePower, to deliver state-of-the-art silicon solutions.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python, PERL, TCL, or other relevant languages to streamline design flows and improve efficiency.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design methodologies and best practices, sharing insights and mentoring junior engineers as needed.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate the delivery of high-performance, low-power silicon solutions that power next-generation technology platforms worldwide.
• Enable Synopsys customers to achieve first-pass silicon success through robust and innovative PDN implementation, EMIR analysis & signoff closure.
• Drive technical excellence and best practices within the team, influencing the future direction of EMIR signoff methodologies at Synopsys.
• Foster a collaborative and inclusive culture by working seamlessly with global teams and sharing technical expertise.
• Contribute to Synopsys’ leadership in EDA tools adoption, providing valuable feedback to enhance product offerings and customer satisfaction.
• Support strategic customer engagements and help expand Synopsys' presence in the semiconductor ecosystem through successful project outcomes.

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (BE/BTech/MTech or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in EMIR analysis & signoff closure, and particularly in advanced technology nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm). PDN implementation experience will be preferred. Comprehensive hands-on experience with EMIR flows, including PDN design, Static & Dynamic Signal/Power EM & IR Drop analysis with or without vectors, Peak Current Analysis, EMIR ECO generation, and full SoC Power Integrity signoff.
• Proficiency with Synopsys EDA tools such as Redhawk, Redhawk-SC, PrimeRail, and PrimePower.
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, PERL, TCL, or similar languages.
• Solid understanding of EMIR, power integrity, reliability concepts, and power-planning techniques for both block-level and full-chip designs.
• Exposure to high-frequency design and low-power design methodologies.

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.
