About this role
Job Description and Requirements
We Are
Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. 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 in analog and mixed-signal design where millivolts and picoseconds separate products that ship from ones that don't. High-speed interfaces are unforgiving, and you think in transistor-level tradeoffs, not block diagrams. Performance, power, jitter, signal integrity, these are the variables you balance daily.
You open HSPICE or Spectre and run the simulation that settles the debate. When layout asks about routing or digital needs clarity on your block, you explain it without losing the technical thread. You work with what you have, ask the right questions, and move forward.
At Synopsys, you will work on high-speed memory interfaces for AI and HPC systems. The problems are hard, and what you design will ship.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design TX/RX, equalization circuits, DACs, and clocking systems for high-speed HPC PHY products
- Execute transistor-level design and optimization using HSPICE or Spectre focused on performance, power, jitter, and signal integrity
- Collaborate with layout, verification, digital, and system teams to integrate mixed-signal subsystems
- Lead design reviews, identify risks, and propose solutions from concept to tapeout
- Perform characterization and model extraction for DDR, LPDDR, HBM, or other high-speed memory interfaces
- Mentor junior engineers through design challenges and technical decisions
The Impact You Will Have
- Your circuits will enable high-speed memory interfaces in AI accelerators and data centers
- The TX/RX and equalization work you do will directly affect signal integrity and power efficiency in shipping products
- Your optimization will reduce power consumption and improve jitter performance in PHY products
- Early technical decisions you make will determine if the product meets targets and tapes out on schedule
- Your collaboration will catch integration issues before costly respins
- Your guidance will build analog design capability at Synopsys
What You'll Need
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
- 5+ years in analog/mixed-signal design for high-speed interfaces
- Direct experience with DDR, LPDDR, HBM, or other high-speed memory protocols
- Proficiency with HSPICE or Spectre for transistor-level work
- Strong grounding in performance, power, jitter, and signal integrity tradeoffs
- Experience with Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation is a plus
Who You Are
- You debug non-converging simulations and fix them without losing half a day
- You explain why a topology matters in two sentences without oversimplifying
- You own complex blocks from spec through validation without daily check-ins
- You push back on specs that don't make sense and find workarounds that keep things moving
- You manage multiple design tasks and review cycles without dropping threads
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.
At Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
