You are someone who has spent the last couple of years getting your hands dirty with embedded memory design and you are ready to go deeper. You have worked with SRAM, ROM, or Register Files enough to know that the details matter, that a small circuit decision ripples through characterization, layout, and eventually into silicon. ### What You'll Be Doing - Design and simulate embedded memory circuits including SRAM, ROM, and Register Files using Cadence Virtuoso and related tools - Support layout activities by working with layout engineers to ensure design intent translates cleanly into physical implementation - Run bitcell characterization and basic reliability analysis to validate performance across process, voltage, and temperature corners - Debug circuit-level issues by analyzing simulation results, identifying root causes, and proposing fixes with guidance from senior engineers - Collaborate with CAD, verification, and frontend teams to align on design requirements, timing constraints, and integration needs - Write and maintain technical documentation including design notes, simulation reports, and analysis summaries - Use scripting in C-Shell, Perl, or Python to automate repetitive tasks and improve design flow efficiency ### The Impact You Will Have - Deliver memory IP blocks that meet performance, power, and area targets for high-volume semiconductor products - Reduce design iteration cycles by catching issues early through thorough simulation and analysis - Improve design quality and reliability by contributing to characterization and validation efforts - Enable faster time-to-market for Synopsys customers by supporting robust and well-documented memory solutions - Build reusable design methodologies and scripts that make future projects more efficient - Strengthen cross-functional collaboration by clearly communicating design decisions and technical tradeoffs - Grow into a more senior role by mastering the fundamentals of memory circuit design in a production environment ### What You'll Need - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field - 5+ years of hands-on experience in CMOS circuit design, specifically with embedded memory such as SRAM, ROM, or Register Files - Working knowledge of memory architectures, bitcell design, and circuit fundamentals including read/write operations and sense amplifier behavior - Experience using Cadence Virtuoso or similar tools for schematic capture, simulation, and layout interaction - Exposure to scripting languages like C-Shell, Perl, or Python is a plus and will help you automate workflows and analyze data more effectively ## Skills ### Required - Cadence Virtuoso - CMOS circuit design - embedded memory design - SRAM - ROM - Register Files - C-Shell - Perl - Python --- Source: [Apply at careers.synopsys.com](https://careers.synopsys.com/job/noida/r-and-d-engineering-staff-engineer/44408/101703888528?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
