Analog Design Engineer, II at Synopsys Inc in Toronto, ON

You will be part of an R&D team developing high speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for 25+ Gbps SerDes IP. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our design environment is best-in-class with a full suite of IC design tools, supplemented by custom in-house tools, and supported by an experienced software/CAD team.

Preferred Experience

• Use of simulator features to run simulation and improve design efficiency
• Familiar with physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation
• Present simulation data for peer review
• Document design features and test plans

Key Qualifications

• MSc degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, with analog IC design experience
• In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals
• Knowledge of ESD fundamentals
• Knowledge of digital design (i.e. high speed logic paths)
• Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging)
• Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification
• Hands-on experience with physical layout of high speed circuits and knowledge of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects) is a plus
• Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods
• Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture
• Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired
• Good communication and documentation skills
