You value diversity and inclusion, recognizing the strength that comes from varied perspectives and backgrounds. You are ready to contribute to a culture of innovation, respect, and excellence—helping Synopsys remain at the forefront of the smart everything revolution.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing and developing high-speed analog and mixed-signal full-custom circuit macros, including transmitters, receivers, clocking circuits, equalizers, serializers, de-serializers, and analog front ends for PHY IPs in advanced CMOS technologies (planar and finFET).
• Analyzing and implementing various analog circuit techniques to optimize dynamic/static power, enhance performance, and reduce silicon area.
• Collaborating with global teams to define micro-architectures from specifications and create robust simulation environments for design verification.
• Performing transistor-level circuit design, simulation, and troubleshooting in nanometer processes, with a focus on reliability and manufacturability.
• Working closely with layout engineers to optimize parasitics, ensure design closure, and address layout-dependent effects.
• Participating in design reviews, providing technical guidance, and mentoring junior engineers within a high-performing, diverse team.
• Adopting and developing automation and scripting to streamline design and verification flows, leveraging languages such as Verilog-A and others as needed.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Advance the state-of-the-art in high-speed PHY IP development, contributing directly to next-generation technology in AI, IoT, 5G, and automotive industries.
• Enable Synopsys customers to achieve faster time-to-market with optimized, reliable, and high-performance silicon solutions.
• Drive innovation in low-power and high-speed circuit design, helping customers meet stringent power and area targets.
• Enhance Synopsys’ reputation as a global leader in silicon design and verification through technical excellence and customer success.
• Mentor and elevate the skills of team members, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented culture.
• Contribute to a diverse and inclusive workplace, ensuring a wide range of perspectives and ideas inform our solutions.

What You’ll Need:

• BE + 5 years or MTech + 4 years of relevant experience in Electrical/Electronics/VLSI Engineering or closely related field.
• Strong fundamentals in CMOS circuit design, device physics, and sub-micron/nanometer methodologies.
• Hands-on experience in analog transistor-level circuit design for high-speed applications (Multi-Gbps, PAM4 SERDES architectures).
• Proficiency in SPICE simulations, reliability analysis, and optimizing for layout parasitics.
• Ability to micro-architect circuits from specifications, set up verification environments, and debug complex analog/mixed-signal circuits.
• Basic proficiency with automation/scripting languages and familiarity with Verilog-A is a plus.
• Experience collaborating with cross-site, multicultural teams and strong documentation skills.

Who You Are:

• Innovative thinker with a problem-solving mindset and a passion for continuous learning.
• Collaborative team player who values diversity, inclusion, and open communication.
• Detail-oriented, quality-focused, and committed to delivering results on time.
• Strong interpersonal and mentoring skills, able to guide and support less experienced team members.
• Adaptable and resilient, comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
