SerDes Analog Behavioral Modeling and Validation Engineer
SynopsysJob Title
SerDes Analog Behavioral Modeling and Validation Engineer
Role Summary
The role involves collaborating with analog circuit teams to develop and refine behavioral models for SerDes analog blocks, ensuring models accurately reflect circuit behavior. The engineer will be part of a skilled, cross-functional team focused on analog design, modeling, and verification for high-performance connectivity IP.
Experience Level
Mid-level, requiring 5+ years of experience in analog design and simulation.
Responsibilities
The engineer will be responsible for the following:
- Collaborate with analog circuit teams for SPICE-vs-model correlation and model quality sign-off.
- Develop/refine behavioral models for SerDes analog blocks (TX/RX, ADC, DAC, etc.).
- Capture impairments and calibration ranges in models for realistic analog-digital handoff.
- Work with digital verification to test edge-cases and analog interactions.
- Automate comparison flows to improve model fidelity.
- Embed non-idealities and verify behavioral netlist integrity with RNM teams.
Requirements
Candidates must meet the following requirements:
- BSc/MSc/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering.
- 5+ years of experience in analog design and simulation.
- Ability to model impairments and integrate them into behavioral/RNM models.
- Fluency in SPICE tools and waveform analysis.
- Strong scripting skills in Python, TCL, Perl, C/C++.
Education Requirements
BSc/MSc/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering.
