Analog Design, Manager

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 technical first and a manager second,an experienced analog circuit designer with deep expertise in high-speed Multi-Gbps NRZ and PAM4 SerDes IP, including advanced process nodes such as FinFET and gate-all-around (GAA). You also have experience working with a small team as a team lead. You excel at translating SerDes standards into robust, high-performance circuit architectures and are skilled in transistor-level design, system budgeting, and analog/digital co-design.

Responsibilities

• Hands-on technical leadership: Lead a team of engineers working on the design of a major block, from specification through successful design review.
• Report to the analog project lead and ensure the design achieves optimal performance and power goals.
• People management: Lead a small team of analog design engineers who will report to you.
• Review SerDes standards and define transceiver architectures and analog sub-block specifications for high-speed NRZ and PAM4 IP.
• Help the team develop advanced circuit solutions to improve power, area, speed, and silicon robustness.
• Collaborate with digital and layout teams to ensure efficient design, verification, and implementation.
• Work closely with the layout team to optimize floorplans and physical layouts for optimal performance.
• Define and execute design and verification strategies using industry-standard simulation tools.
• Present technical results and design tradeoffs to internal teams, customers, and stakeholders.
• Document design features, test plans, and results clearly and accurately.
• Support electrical characterization, analyze customer silicon data, and contribute to post-silicon improvements.
• Assist the system team and develop automation to improve productivity and quality.

Requirements

• M.A.Sc. with 8+ years or PhD with 6+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
• 2+ years of experience in people management, including developing employees, hiring, and growing teams.
• Strong background in circuit/system modeling, analog design, DSP, and communications theory.
• Proven experience with Multi-Gbps SerDes architectures, including TX, RX, equalizers, samplers, drivers, serializers/deserializers, PLLs, DLLs, bandgaps, regulators, oscillators, ADCs, and DACs.
• Experience with analog/digital co-design, calibration, adaptation, and timing handoff.
• Familiarity with ESD design, custom high-speed digital logic, and reliability considerations such as EM, IR, aging, and self-heating.
• Proficiency in schematic entry, physical layout, SPICE simulation, and Verilog-A modeling.
• Strong understanding of jitter, noise, signal integrity, parasitics, crosstalk, and design-for-reliability principles.

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.
