NVM Circuit Design Engineer, Staff

You are a passionate and experienced circuit designer, eager to push the boundaries of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology. With a robust background in analog circuit design and hands-on experience leading NVM projects through all stages of development, you thrive in dynamic, cross-functional environments.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading the NVM TestChip and IP design flow across multiple technologies and foundries, ensuring robust and scalable solutions for diverse applications.
• Architecting, designing, and verifying CMOS-based non-volatile memory IP modules, from concept to production tapeout.
• Collaborating with product engineers to perform silicon verification, in-depth testing, and debugging to validate IP performance on silicon.
• Conducting post-layout extraction, simulation, and comprehensive testing in conjunction with silicon validation teams.
• Working closely with on-site and off-site design, layout, and CAD teams to optimize design methodologies and ensure project success.
• Partnering with layout designers on floor planning of memory arrays and analog blocks for performance, area, and manufacturability optimization.
• Serving as the technical expert to support Sales and Application Engineers during complex pre- and post-sales customer engagements, ensuring customer satisfaction and successful product adoption.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Driving the development of next-generation NVM IP that powers cutting-edge semiconductor products worldwide.
• Enhancing the reliability, performance, and scalability of Synopsys’ memory solutions, directly influencing customer product success.
• Accelerating time-to-market for advanced SoCs by delivering robust, silicon-proven NVM IP.
• Contributing to the adoption of best-in-class design methodologies, elevating design quality and productivity across the organization.
• Empowering cross-functional teams with your technical leadership, mentoring, and collaborative spirit.
• Shaping the roadmap of memory technology in advanced process nodes, positioning Synopsys as a leader in the industry.
• Ensuring seamless customer experiences by providing expert technical support and resolving complex design challenges.

What You'll Need:

• 5–12+ years of industry experience in circuit design, with a strong emphasis on analog circuit design and analysis; memory design experience is a significant plus.
• Deep understanding of layout considerations for advanced nodes, including parasitic effects, matching techniques, and signal integrity.
• Expertise in electrical problem-solving, including root cause analysis of circuit failures and development of effective solutions.
• Hands-on experience with TestChip tapeout flows, silicon debugging (FIB, micro-probing, post-layout RC extraction), and statistical design methodologies (e.g., Monte-Carlo analysis).
• Strong transistor-level analog design skills, including sense-amplifier, charge pump, high voltage regulator, and bandgap reference circuit design.
• Proficiency with circuit simulation tools (HSIM, HSPICE, etc.) and custom schematic/layout editors (e.g., Custom Compiler).
• Experience with low power design, power management circuitry, and FinFET design is a plus.

Benefits
