## Description

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.

We're looking for an Analog Circuit Design Engineer to join our team! You are a highly motivated Analog Circuit Design Engineer with a passion for creating ground-breaking technology. You possess an in-depth understanding of analog and mixed-signal building blocks, especially in the context of SerDes designs.

**Responsibilities:**

- Ensuring analog sub-block performance adheres to SerDes standards and architecture document specifications.

- Identifying and refining circuit implementations to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets.

- Proposing design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure the highest quality design.

- Overseeing physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.

- Partnering with digital RTL engineers on the verification of calibration, adaptation, and control algorithms for analog circuits.

- Presenting simulation data for peer and customer review.

- Taking ownership of analog and mixed-signal building blocks that are integrated as part of a larger SerDes design.

- Documenting design features and test plans.

- Consulting on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SerDes IP product.

**The Impact You Will Have:**

- Driving innovation in high-speed analog design, pushing the boundaries of SerDes technology.

- Contributing to the development of silicon-proven IP solutions that reduce integration risk and accelerate time-to-market.

- Enhancing the performance and reliability of Synopsys' IP portfolio, ensuring it meets the highest industry standards.

- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and efficient designs.

- Improving design methodologies and verification strategies to streamline development processes.

- Providing expert insights that influence the future direction of analog circuit design at Synopsys.

**Requirements:**

- MSc with 4+ years of SerDes/High-Speed analog design experience.

- Familiarity with the transistor-level circuit design of fundamental analog and mixed-signal building blocks.

- Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits for analog and mixed-signal building blocks.

- Design experience with some of the following SerDes sub-circuits: receive equalizers, data samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase interpolator, delay-locked loop, phase-locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC.

- Experience optimizing CMOS layout to minimize the effect of parasitic resistance and capacitance, and to reduce the effects of local device mismatch and proximity effects.

- Awareness of ESD issues and design for reliability.

- Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.

- Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.

- Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.

- Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB.

**Benefits:**

- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans.

- Time away programs including ETO and FTO.

- Family support including maternity and paternity leave.

- ESPP program.

- Retirement plans.

- Competitive salaries.
