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.
You are the kind of engineer who can walk into a room with a whiteboard and leave with a block diagram everyone trusts to become silicon. Years spent translating performance specs into transistor-level reality have made you as comfortable with SPICE. You spot design risks early and know how to weigh the tradeoffs between area, power, and cost without losing sight of what makes a design robust in production. You thrive on technical depth and know the satisfaction of seeing your blocks come up on first silicon. You mentor because you want the team to win, not just your project. You do not wait for someone to define the validation plan,you write it, run it, and fix what you find. Collaboration with layout, digital, validation, and product teams is where you turn good design into great silicon. At Synopsys, you will find the scale, the tools, and the technical challenge to keep growing while knowing your work ships in real products.
Responsibilities
- Leading the design and development of advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits, blocks, and subsystems from concept to production
- Developing architecture proposals and evaluating tradeoffs for performance, power, area, and cost using real project constraints
- Running circuit simulation, verification, and optimization with industry-standard tools like SPICE and Spectre.
- Owning tape-out activities, silicon bring-up, debug, and hands-on characterization in the lab
- Partnering with layout engineers to ensure your design intent carries through to silicon, with an eye on manufacturability and robustness
- Defining and executing validation plans that actually catch what matters,meeting product requirements, not just checklists
- Reviewing specs, schematics, and lab results, and driving design reviews that raise the technical bar
- Mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership across projects and teams
- Working cross-functionally with system, digital, validation, and product teams to resolve issues and keep projects moving
- Driving improvements in design methodologies and best practices so the next project runs smoother than the last
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or related field (master’s or PhD preferred)
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in analog and/or mixed-signal IC design
- Deep understanding of transistor-level circuit design and analysis,you know your way around a schematic and simulation results
- Proficiency with simulation tools such as SPICE, Spectre, or equivalent for real-world design and debug
- Practical experience with silicon debug, characterization, and using lab equipment to close the loop between simulation and silicon
- Knowledge of design methodologies for robustness, reliability, and testability,you build designs that survive manufacturing and field stress
- Experience with high-speed interfaces, data converters, regulators, bandgap reference, power management, sensors, or similar analog/mixed-signal blocks is a plus
- Familiarity with deep submicron CMOS processes is helpful
- Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical discussions is valued
- Using AI tools during circuit design and verification processes
- Experience with MIPI cphy/dphy (Mobile Industry Processor Interface), USB (Universal Serial Bus) and other high speed serial links are plus
