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.
As a Staff Engineer in Analog Design, you will be part of the Yerevan-based team working on SerDes IP development for customers across multiple industries. Your work will directly contribute to IP deliverables that ship to external customers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and verify analog circuits for SerDes PHY IP blocks using cutting-edge process nodes, including PLLs, equalizers, drivers, and receivers
- Own engineering project functions from architecture through tape-out, ensuring performance, power, and area targets are met
- Drive internal and customer-facing design reviews, presenting technical tradeoffs clearly to engineering teams and external stakeholders
- Prepare technical specifications and customer documentation that translate complex circuit behavior into usable deliverables
- Mentor junior analog engineers, reviewing their schematics, simulation setups, and design approaches
- Estimate project timelines and resource needs, and manage project execution when needed to keep deliverables on track
Impact:
- Your analog circuits will power SerDes IP in AI, data center, and automotive systems worldwide
- The specifications you create will become the foundation for customer implementations and future design iterations
- Your mentorship will directly accelerate junior engineers' ability to contribute to complex projects
- The design reviews you lead will catch issues early, reducing costly respins and ensuring IP quality
- Your technical decisions will influence product performance and competitiveness for years
- Your collaboration across global teams will ensure designs integrate cleanly without escalation
Requirements:
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent technical discipline
- 5+ years of hands-on experience designing analog circuits with strong understanding of circuit operation and design principles
- Proficiency with analog IC design tools including Hspice, Primesim, Finesim, xa, Custom Compiler, and Waive View
- Ability to estimate project timelines and resources, and manage engineering work with minimal supervision
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Experience with SerDes PHY design is a strong plus
- Familiarity with TCL, scripting languages, or AI-assisted design flows is a plus
Team:
You will join the Yerevan-based analog design team working on SerDes IP development for customers across multiple industries. The team collaborates closely with on-site and international engineering groups, and your work will directly contribute to IP deliverables that ship to external customers.
