Analog Design Staff Engineer

Job Title

Analog Design Staff Engineer

Role Summary

Lead analog simulation and verification efforts to improve Synopsys internal analog design tools and flows. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate and optimize schematic, layout, and verification tooling, and document and train designers on new methodologies.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5+ years of relevant analog design experience (see Education Requirements for degree guidance).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Perform analog design simulation and analysis using in-development analog design tools and flows (AC, DC, transient, Monte‑Carlo).
• Provide actionable feedback to internal tools teams to improve tool functionality and usability.
• Create documentation and training materials; train internal designers on tools and flows.
• Improve analog design flow efficiency to reduce time-to-market for IP and silicon.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure tool integration and optimization.
• Mentor and support junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and behaviors:

• Proven analog design skills with attention to power, performance, and area (PPA).
• Proficiency in analog simulation and verification methodologies (AC, DC, transient, Monte‑Carlo).
• Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification (examples: Synopsys Custom Compiler, Cadence Virtuoso).
• Knowledge of analog layout parasitics and design considerations for advanced nodes (FinFET, GAA).
• Strong written and verbal English communication; able to produce clear, concise documentation.
• Independent debugger who provides constructive feedback and works well in teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in tool flow automation or internal tool development.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 5 years related experience, or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 3 years related experience; degrees in related technical fields or equivalent practical experience are acceptable.
