Senior Staff Analog Design Engineer
SynopsysJob Title
Senior Staff Analog Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and deliver high-speed Die-to-Die (D2D) transceiver IP for chiplet interconnects. Lead architecture, analog circuit design, and PHY-level layout coordination to meet power, area, and performance targets for production silicon. Mentor engineers and represent technical results to customers and industry forums.
Experience Level
Senior-level — requires 8+ years of analog circuit design experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Define transceiver architectures and sub-block specifications based on UCIe and other D2D standards.
- Design analog circuits for high-speed D2D interconnect IP (clock recovery, equalization, bias blocks).
- Perform system modeling, margin analysis, and jitter budgeting to validate robustness.
- Oversee PHY-level layout to minimize parasitics and process-variation impact.
- Analyze post-silicon data and drive design enhancements.
- Present technical results to internal teams, customers, and industry groups.
- Mentor and conduct technical reviews for a distributed global design team.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- 8+ years of hands-on analog circuit design experience (senior-level engineering).
- Expertise in high-speed transceiver design, including SerDes or D2D interfaces.
- Strong system modeling skills, including jitter analysis and margin budgeting.
- Proven track record taking circuits from architecture through post-silicon validation.
- Familiarity with D2D interface standards such as UCIe or PCIe.
- Experience collaborating across distributed, cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (as stated). No explicit alternate "equivalent experience" language was provided.
