You Are
You are an experienced engineering professional with a passion for driving innovation and delivering results. You thrive in fast-paced environments where you can leverage your technical expertise and leadership skills to manage complex projects from inception to completion. With strong experience in semiconductor design and delivery, you bring deep knowledge of SoC, ASIC, and Silicon IP development. You are adept at communicating with diverse stakeholders, including engineers, managers, and customers, ensuring expectations are managed and projects stay on track.

You have spent years deep in transistor-level design, building circuits that close timing, meet power budgets, and survive silicon. At Synopsys, you will work on Ser Des PHY IP that ships in real products.

What You’ll Be Doing

Design and verify transistor-level analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-speed Ser Des PHY IP, including transmitters, receivers, PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, equalizers, and bias circuits

Develop circuit architectures and run tradeoff analysis across performance, power, noise, jitter, and reliability

Execute DC, AC, transient, cross-corner PVT, aging, EMIR/SHE, and Monte Carlo simulations to validate robustness

Build and validate circuit simulation models and Verilog-A behavioral models for IP integration

Review custom layout implementations and collaborate with layout engineers to ensure post-layout performance meets spec

Prepare technical documentation, lead design reviews, and present tradeoff decisions to cross-functional teams

Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on circuit design, simulation methodology, and debugging

The Impact You Will Have
