• Ensuring analog sub-block performance adheres to SerDes standards and architectural specifications, with a focus on achieving optimal power, area, and performance targets.
• Proposing and implementing design and verification strategies using advanced simulation tools to ensure high-quality, robust designs.
• Overseeing and collaborating on physical layout to minimize the effects of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
• Presenting simulation data and design reviews to peers, customers, and cross-functional teams, and incorporating feedback.
• Documenting design features, test plans, and consulting on electrical characterization for SerDes IP products.
• Collaborating with diverse teams across different locations, contributing to a culture of technical excellence and innovation.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate the development of high-performance silicon chips that power tomorrow’s technologies—enabling faster, more efficient data transfer in critical applications.
• Help Synopsys maintain its leadership in delivering industry-leading SERDES IP for a wide range of protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, USB, and more).
• Drive innovation in mixed-signal analog design, directly influencing the capabilities of next-generation SoCs and system solutions.
• Contribute to reducing customer project schedules by enabling robust, verified IP blocks that integrate seamlessly into customer designs.
• Enhance the quality, reliability, and performance of Synopsys IP offerings, strengthening our reputation and customer trust.
• Mentor and uplift peers, sharing knowledge and best practices to foster a high-performing, inclusive engineering culture.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s (BE) with 3+ years or Master’s (MTech) with 2+ years of relevant experience in mixed-signal/analog custom circuit design, with a degree in Electrical/Electronics/VLSI Engineering or closely related field.
• Strong expertise in CMOS circuit design fundamentals, device physics, and analog transistor-level circuit design in nanometer technologies.
• Hands-on experience with multi-Gbps high-speed design and familiarity with electrical specifications of protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, and USB.
• Proficiency in EDA tools for SPICE simulation, static timing analysis (STA), and parasitic extraction, along with a solid understanding of sub-micron design methodologies.
• Experience in high-speed datapath full-custom design using digital/CMOS logic cells, including clock path optimization and timing verification.
• Familiarity with ESD/latch-up verification, mixed-signal analog design challenges, and understanding of crosstalk and coupling impacts on timing.

Who You Are:

• Collaborative and open-minded, thriving in a diverse, global team environment.
• Analytical and detail-oriented, with a strong commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
• Effective communicator—able to clearly document, present, and discuss complex technical concepts with clarity and confidence.
• Proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and adapts quickly to new challenges and evolving project requirements.
• Eager to learn,
