Synopsys

Senior Analog and Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Ottawa

October 15, 2024

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 growing analog and mixed signal team developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest 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 supported by an experienced software/CAD team.


Job Responsibilities


  • Review SERDES standards to develop analog sub-block specifications.
  • Identify and refine circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area and performance targets.
  • Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure highest quality design.
  • Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
  • Present simulation data for peer and customer review.
  • Document design features and test plans.
  • Consult on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SERDES IP product. Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.


Job Requirements


  • Ph D or MSc with practical analog IC design experience; degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other relevant field of study.
  • In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals.
  • Design experience with one, and familiarity with other SERDES sub-circuits: receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC
  • Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed critical paths).
  • Understanding of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.).
  • Understanding of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
  • Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
  • Hands-on experience with physical layout of high-speed circuits is a plus.
  • Understanding 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.
  • Good communication and documentation skills
