They work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products. Play Video As a Staff Engineer in Analog Design, you will lead the design and development of advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits, blocks, and subsystems from concept to production. You will develop architecture proposals and evaluate tradeoffs for performance, power, area, and cost using real project constraints. 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 The Impact You Will Have: - Delivering high-quality analog and mixed-signal designs that hit performance targets and ship on schedule - Raising the technical standard across multiple projects by pushing for clarity in specs, reviews, and debug - Ensuring smooth transitions from design to layout, validation, and production, cutting down last-minute surprises - Rapidly identifying and resolving silicon issues so products meet customer needs without delay - Building a stronger engineering culture by mentoring, sharing knowledge, and leading by example - Enabling the team to take on more complex challenges with confidence in their analog and mixed-signal foundation What You'll Need: - Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (master’s or PhD preferred) - Minimum 7 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, PLLs, power management, sensors, or similar analog/mixed-signal blocks is a plus - Familiarity with deep submicron CMOS processes is helpful - Exposure to DFT, DFM, or product engineering flows is a plus, not a must - Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical discussions is valued Who You Are: - You catch design flaws early and are not afraid to ask the tough questions in a review - You can explain a complex tradeoff to a VP in two sentences, and then walk a new grad through the details in the lab - You are hands-on and do not shy away from the bench or the simulation deck when something does not add up - You keep projects moving by collaborating across teams, not waiting for handoffs to solve issues - You push for better processes and tools because you know the pain of doing things the hard way twice - You share what you know and lift up the engineers around you The Team You'll Be Part Of: Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process. Rewards and Benefits: We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process. ## Skills ### Required - SPICE - Spectre - transistor-level circuit design - silicon debug - characterization - lab equipment - deep submicron CMOS processes - DFT - DFM - product engineering flows --- Source: [Apply at careers.synopsys.com](https://careers.synopsys.com/job/yerevan/analog-design-staff-engineer/44408/94725587424?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
