Analog Design Senior Engineer

Job Title

Analog Design Senior Engineer

Role Summary

Perform analog design simulation and analysis to improve analog design flow efficiency within the Synopsys IP Group. Work with internal tools teams and cross-functional engineering groups to integrate, validate, and optimize in-development analog design tools and flows.

The role focuses on improving time-to-market and design quality by providing tool feedback, creating documentation, and training designers on new methodologies.

Experience Level

Senior-level role (title indicates senior responsibility for tool validation, mentoring, and driving process improvements).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Conduct analog design simulation and analysis using in-development analog design tools and flows.
• Perform AC, DC, transient and statistical (e.g., Monte-Carlo) verification to validate designs and flows.
• Provide actionable feedback to internal tools teams to improve functionality and usability.
• Document workflows, create methods and training materials, and train internal designers on new tools and flows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate tools and optimize the design flow.
• Support efforts to improve power, performance, and area (PPA) in analog designs.
• Mentor and support junior designers as needed.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and abilities:

• Proven analog design skills with focus on PPA optimization for analog blocks.
• Experience with analog simulation and testbench methodology (AC, DC, transient, Monte-Carlo).
• Familiarity with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification (examples: Synopsys Custom Compiler, Cadence Virtuoso).
• Ability to document methods clearly and produce training materials for engineers.
• Strong English communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Previous experience providing feedback to EDA/tools development teams or improving internal tool flows.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering plus a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
