## 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.

As a Sr. Staff Digital Design Engineer - Memory Interface IP- HBM/DDR/LPDDR, you will work on memory interface IP that powers the next generation of AI accelerators, data centers, and high-performance compute. The problems are hard, the stakes are real, and the team expects you to lead.

**Responsibilities**

- Design and own complex RTL blocks for HBM, DDR, and LPDDR memory interface IP, from architecture through implementation and verification handoff

- Collaborate directly with analog design teams to define and validate mixed-signal interfaces, ensuring timing closure and signal integrity across the full IP stack

- Develop and execute detailed verification plans in partnership with the verification team, including corner case analysis and protocol compliance testing

- Drive timing, power, and area optimization using industry-standard EDA tools like Synopsys Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, and DC Compiler

- Lead technical reviews and design audits, providing clear direction on architecture tradeoffs and implementation risks

- Mentor engineers on the team, reviewing RTL code, guiding design decisions, and helping them build the judgment that separates working designs from great ones

- Interface directly with customer engineering teams to debug integration issues, answer technical questions, and ensure successful IP deployment in their SoCs

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Deliver memory interface IP that enables customers to hit their performance and power targets in AI, automotive, and data center applications

- Reduce integration risk and time-to-market for customers by designing IP that works correctly the first time in silicon

- Set the technical standard for RTL quality, verification rigor, and design methodology across the IP development team

- Solve hard problems at the boundary of digital and analog design that directly affect whether a multi-billion transistor chip tapes out on schedule

- Build the next generation of design talent at Synopsys by mentoring engineers and raising the bar on what good design looks like

- Contribute to Synopsys' position as the go-to provider for high-speed memory interface IP in the most demanding applications on the planet

- Shape the roadmap for future memory interface IP by bringing deep technical insight from customer engagements and silicon bring-up back into the product

**Requirements**

- 6 - 8+ years of hands-on ASIC digital design experience with a strong focus on RTL design and verification

- Deep expertise in at least two of the following memory interface protocols: HBM, DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, LPDDR5

- Proven experience designing and delivering production-quality IP or SoC blocks that have taped out and been validated in silicon

- Strong command of SystemVerilog for RTL design and familiarity with UVM or other verification methodologies for cross-functional collaboration

- Experience working with AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) in the context of memory subsystem integration

- Proficiency with Synopsys or Cadence EDA toolchains for synthesis, timing analysis, and power optimization

- Experience with mixed-signal interface design and collaboration with analog teams is a strong plus

**Benefits**

- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family

- Time away: In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs

- Family support: Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more

- ESPP: Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24-month look-back

- Retirement plans: Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country

- Competitive salaries
