## Description

At Synopsys, you will work on designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions as an Analog Design, Sr Staff Engineer. You will focus on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP, working with a cross-functional design team.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Designing and proposing advanced algorithms to calibrate and adapt transceivers for optimal performance.

- Identifying and refining circuit implementations to achieve optimal power, area, and performance targets.

- Developing and maintaining SerDes system models for PAM4 transceivers targeting PCIe (128Gbps+) and Ethernet (200Gbps+) standards.

- Owning Analog Macro level design and reviewing SerDes standards and architecture documents to develop analog specifications.

- Overseeing physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.

- Correlating simulated performance with silicon measurements to ensure accuracy and reliability.

- Collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout all stages of development and post-silicon.

- Contributing to lab testing and analysis for high-speed serial links.

Requirements:

- M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 6+ years of SerDes/High-Speed analog design experience.

- Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits for the TX, RX, and Clock paths within a SerDes.

- Strong experience modeling circuits and systems in MATLAB/Simulink.

- Solid understanding of DSP and communications theory, including equalization, encoding, and noise/crosstalk filtering.

- Proficiency in analyzing link budgets for PAM4 high-speed serial links.

- Experience with wireline protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204C, CPRI) and optical protocols (LINEAR, RTLR).

- Detailed design experience with several of the following SerDes sub-circuits: receive equalizers, data samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase interpolator, delay-locked loop, phase-locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC.

- Experience optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to minimize the effect of parasitic resistance and capacitance.

Benefits:

- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans.

- Time away programs, including ETO and FTO.

- Family support, including maternity and paternity leave.

- ESPP program.

- Retirement plans.

- Competitive salaries.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished analog design engineer with a passion for pushing the boundaries of high-speed connectivity, and a proven track record of successfully taping out silicon-proven designs.
