We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.
You Are
You have spent years designing analog circuits that have to perform under real-world conditions, not just pass simulation. High-speed IO is where you live, and you understand that the difference between a PHY that meets spec and one that ships in volume comes down to the choices you make at the transistor level. You know device physics well enough to predict how a circuit will behave in a new process node before the PDK is fully characterized. Working in advanced CMOS, FinFET, or GAA does not intimidate you. You have done it, you know where the models break down, and you know how to work around it. Collaboration across time zones is part of the job, and you are comfortable translating a system-level requirement into a circuit topology that actually works. You care about getting the design right, not just done, and you have the technical depth to back that up when tradeoffs get hard. At Synopsys, you will work on memory interface PHYs that ship in the most advanced SoCs in the world. The problems are hard, the technology is real, and what you design will matter.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead the design and development of high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for next-generation HBM, DDR, and LPDDR PHY IP solutions.
- Own critical circuit blocks through the complete product lifecycle, from architecture definition and design implementation to verification, silicon bring-up, and product qualification.
- Develop innovative circuit solutions that meet challenging power, performance, area, reliability, and scalability requirements in advanced CMOS, FinFET, and GAA technologies.
- Perform transistor-level design, simulation, characterization, and optimization across process, voltage, temperature, and reliability corners.
- Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of complex design, integration, and silicon issues.
- Collaborate closely with architecture, layout, package, verification, signal integrity and product engineering teams across global development sites.
- Contribute to memory PHY architecture discussions and influence technical decisions through strong engineering judgment and execution.
- Mentor junior engineers, drive design reviews, and promote engineering best practices to enhance team effectiveness and product quality.
- Support the successful delivery of industry-leading Memory PHY solutions for AI, data center, mobile, networking, and high-performance computing applications.
The Impact You'll Have
As a Analog Design Staff Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of Memory PHY IP solutions that power leading-edge AI, cloud computing, high-performance computing, and mobile platforms. Your work will directly enable customers to meet demanding bandwidth, performance, power efficiency, and reliability requirements using industry-leading HBM, DDR, and LPDDR technologies.
By driving complex analog design challenges and delivering silicon-proven solutions, you will contribute to products that are integrated into some of the world's most advanced SoCs and computing systems. You will also influence design methodologies, mentor engineers, and help elevate the technical excellence of the organization.
What You'll Need
- B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, VLSI, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.
- 6+ years of experience in Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design.
- Strong foundation in analog circuit design fundamentals and semiconductor device physics.
- Proven experience designing high-speed I/O, Memory PHY, or related interface circuits.
- Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS, FinFET, and/or GAA process technologies.
- Strong expertise in circuit design, simulation, verification, characterization, and silicon correlation.
- Ability to independently execute complex design assignments while balancing quality, schedule, and technical risk.
- Good understanding of ESD protection methodologies and reliability concepts.
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
- Knowledge of high-speed interface design challenges and system-level interactions.
Who You Are
- A highly motivated analog designer passionate about solving challenging circuit design problems.
- A technical leader who takes ownership and drives execution from concept through silicon.
- A collaborative team player who thrives in a global, cross-functional environment.
- A strong mentor who enjoys developing engineering talent and sharing technical expertise.
- An effective communicator with the ability to influence technical decisions and drive alignment across teams.
- Someone who combines deep technical expertise with a strong commitment to product quality and customer success.
