Sr. Staff Analog and Mixed Signal Design Engineer

at  Synopsys

JOB DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS

Join us as an analog and mixed-signal design engineer in the PLL design team. Our designs enable the next generation of datacenters, automobiles and communications networks. You will work on system-level and circuit-level PLL design in the latest FINFET and gate all around CMOS technology nodes. PLL designs will support high-speed Serdes designs including PCI-Express, Ethernet, CPRI, and other applications at rates up to 112Gbps, 128Gbps, 224Gbps and beyond.

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Circuit-level PLL design and PLL top-level modeling and simulation
• Design of analog circuits such as VCOs, charge pumps and voltage regulators
• Custom circuit design in deep-submicron and FINFET CMOS technologies
• Design of high-speed digital circuits such as dividers and clock distribution paths
• Schematic entry and spice simulation of custom circuits
• Provide mentoring and technical leadership to junior designers
• Coordinate and interface with layout and CAD teams

Qualifications and Experience:

• 8+ years of experience within CMOS analog and mixed-signal circuit design with MSEE or PhD. Candidates with a Bachelor’s degree and additional experience will also be considered
• Detailed knowledge of PLL loop operation and design
• Experienced in design of SerDes blocks and/or PLL circuit components such as VCO’s, charge-pumps, regulators and high-speed dividers.
• Design experience in FINFET and gate all around CMOS technologies
• Hspice, Finesim, PrimeSim or similar spice-type simulators
• Schematic entry in Synopsys Custom Designer or similar tools
• Knowledge of digital timing in PrimeTime and/or Nanotime is an asset
