Staff High-Speed Analog Designer
SynopsysJob Title
Staff High-Speed Analog Designer
Role Summary
Senior analog design role focused on high-speed interfaces and mixed-signal circuits. The role involves hands-on circuit design, block-level architecture, silicon bring-up support, and close collaboration with digital, physical design, and verification teams.
Experience Level
Senior-level. The posting does not specify a years-of-experience requirement.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities for this staff-level analog designer role include:
- Design and simulation of high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits (transceivers, SerDes blocks, PLLs, ADCs/DACs).
- Create and review circuit schematics, layout guidance, and parasitic-aware simulations.
- Develop test plans and support silicon validation, characterization, and debug at board and chip level.
- Collaborate with digital, package, and signal-integrity teams to meet system requirements.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership in design reviews and architecture decisions.
- Produce documentation for design handoff, verification results, and post-silicon fixes.
Requirements
Core requirements and desirable skills. Items under "Must-have" are essential; "Nice-to-have" are preferred.
- Must-have: Proven experience in high-speed analog or mixed-signal circuit design and simulation.
- Must-have: Experience with SPICE-based simulation flows and industry EDA tools for analog design and verification.
- Must-have: Track record of supporting silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug.
- Must-have: Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with SerDes, high-speed IO, PLLs, or mixed-signal blocks at advanced nodes.
- Nice-to-have: Familiarity with layout constraints, parasitic extraction, or board-level signal integrity.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
