Mississauga, Canada Synopsys, Inc. Full time

We're looking for an Analog Design Engineer to join our team. Does this sound like a good role for you?

In this role, you will work on the design, development, and refinement of Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest FinFET process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our environment is best in class with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools helped by an experienced software/CAD team.

Job Responsibilities

  • Review SerDes standards to develop novel transceiver architectures and sub-block specifications.
  • Investigate and develop circuit architectures that address architectural bottlenecks. Lead to revolutionary improvements in power, area and performance targets.
  • Work across project and department teams to streamline design and verification strategies ensure overall design quality, efficiency and performance.
  • Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
  • Present & review simulation data from internal project teams. Present results externally at industry panels or at customer reviews.
  • Document design features and test plans.
  • Consult on the overall electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product. Examine customer silicon data for design enhancements. Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.
Job Requirements
  • PhD with 3+ years, or MSc with 5+ years of practical analog IC design experience. A degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other relevant field of study.
  • Detailed design experience with at least two, and familiarity with several other SerDes sub-circuits.
    • Receive equalizers such as CTLE, DFE, FFE
    • DAC Based transmitters and ADC based receivers, DSP equalization
    • High speed clocking circuits such as PLL and phase interpolator, voltage-controlled oscillator
    • ADC and DAC
    • Samplers
    • voltage/current-mode drivers
    • bandgap reference
  • In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals, experience with CMOS tape-outs
  • Knowledge of SerDes (Including PAM4 SerDes), circuit and fabrication issues that directly impact customer use-cases.
  • Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed digital paths, Serializer, De-serializer).
  • Aware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout).
  • Experience with analog/digital interactions for optimizing circuit performance (calibration, adaptation, timing-handoff, etc)
  • Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.) and layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
  • Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
  • Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
  • Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
  • Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and documentation skills
