Mgr I, Analog Design Job in Synopsys

Analog Design Manager

We're looking for an Analog Design Manager to join our team.
Does this sound like a good role for you?

In this role, you will work on guide a team designing, developing, and refining Multi-Gbps NRZ & PAM4 SERDES IP. You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest FinFET process nodes. Working from SerDes standards to block specifications, you quickly identify potential circuit architectures and successful design strategies for the team to execute upon. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our environment is best in class with a full suite of IC design tools supplemented by custom, in-house tools supported by an experienced software/CAD team.

Job Responsibilities

Direct and guide the activities of a team of analog designers developing high-speed SERDES IP

Conduct design reviews and evaluate the final results of simulation and electrical characterization reports

Present the results of design activities, technology assessments, or critical issue investigations and make recommendations for actions necessary to achieve desired results

Select, develop, and evaluate personnel to ensure the efficient operation of the team

Develop schedules and action plans in order to meet overall project timelines

Review documented design features and test plans.

Ensures that the team follows processes and operational policies for maximum design quality

Consult on the electrical characterization of the SerDes IP product. Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.

Job Requirements

B.Tech/BE/M.Tech/MS in Electronics Engineering

8+ years of experience in Analog Design for High-Speed SerDes applications

1-2 years of experience in a management or supervisory role

In-depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals.

Detailed design experience with many SerDes sub-circuits:

o receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC

Familiarity with both analog and digital circuits and issues related to interfacing and timing between them

Aware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout).

Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high speed logic paths).

Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.).

Knowledge of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).

Good communication and documentation skills.
