Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D; capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You have spent time designing analog circuits that actually have to work in production silicon, not just pass simulation corners. The difference between a circuit that meets spec and one that fails in the field is usually a layout effect or reliability constraint someone missed, and you are the kind of engineer who catches those things before tapeout. At Synopsys, you will work on analog IP that ships in real products, and the circuits you design will be reused across customer chips for years.

Design and develop analog building blocks for SERDES, DDR, and memory IP, including PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, comparators, and bias circuits Run simulations across process, voltage, and temperature corners to verify performance, reliability, and margin against spec Identify and refine circuit topologies to hit power, area, and performance targets without compromising robustness Work directly with layout engineers to ensure designs account for matching, proximity effects, electromigration, IR drop, and aging Conduct design reviews with senior engineers and product teams, defending your choices and incorporating feedback Contribute to design methodology improvements, whether that's updating simulation flows, refining checklists,



or documenting lessons learned from previous tapeouts Your analog blocks will ship in high-performance IP used by semiconductor companies building everything from AI accelerators to automotive SOCs The power and area optimizations you drive will directly affect the competitiveness of Synopsys IP in customer evaluations and design wins Your attention to reliability and layout effects will reduce respins and field failures, saving engineering time and protecting Synopsys reputation The technical guidance you provide to junior engineers will raise the quality and consistency of the entire analog design team The design methodologies you help refine will improve efficiency and quality across future IP development cycles Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or related field with a strong foundation in analog circuit design Proficiency with industry-standard CAD tools for schematic capture, simulation, and corner analysis, tools like Cadence Virtuoso, HSPICE, or Spectre Solid understanding of design for reliability including electromigration, IR drop, aging effects, and how they constrain circuit choices Solid problem-solving skills and the ability to debug circuits that don't behave as expected, whether that's a simulation issue, a layout problem, or a fundamental design flaw You can explain why a particular circuit topology is the right choice for a given spec in two sentences, and you can defend that choice in a design review without getting defensive You manage multiple design tasks at once without losing track of corner cases, margin checks, or documentation You treat layout engineers as design partners, not service providers, and you understand that a circuit is only as good as its layout You are comfortable working independently but know when to ask for help or elevate a risk You stay current with new process nodes, design techniques, and reliability challenges because you care about building circuits that last You will be part of a dynamic and cutting-edge team focused on the development of high-performance analog IP products. Our team values collaboration, creativity, and continuous improvement. We work closely with other engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions that meet the needs of our customers and drive the success of Synopsys.
