ASIC Digital Design, Staff Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative digital design engineer with knowledge of ASIC development flow. The candidate would be working as part of a highly experienced mixed-signal design and verification team, targeting the current and next generation PAM-based SerDes products. Strong theoretical and practical background in high-speed serializer and data recovery circuits is a strong plus. The position offers an excellent opportunity to work with an expert team of digital and mixed-signal engineers responsible for delivering high-end mixed-signal designs from specification development to performing functional and performance tests on prototype test-chips. The PHY IP development is very dynamic and provides an endless list of challenges. The candidate would have an initial training done by the top experts in the field as well as continuous on the job training and assignments. The work is very challenging, not only given the constant technological changes but also given the ownership and the need to charter unknown waters. Key Qualifications: BSEE or MSEE plus a minimum of 4 years of digital design and verification experience in the industry Good experience in writing block-level test-cases including constrained directed random tests Must be familiar with Verilog and VCS. Good knowledge of back-end synthesis tools DC/PT is required Must have knowledge of digital design methodologies, ATE production testing, DFT insertion, Synthesis constraints and flows Scripting experience in Shell, Perl, Python and TCL is a plus Good theoretical and practical understanding of digital signal processing and data recovery circuits is required Good communication skills for interacting between different design groups and customer support teams are required Must be self-motivated, proactive, and able to balance good design quality while meeting tight deadlines Resolves issues in creative ways and exercises independent judgment in selecting methods and techniques to obtain solutions May guide more junior peers with aspects of their job. Networks with senior internal and external personnel in own area of expertise Must exhibit ability to produce good results as an individual and team contributor Preferred Experience: RTL coding, modeling of analog blocks, and writing complex system-level test-benches in Verilog Defining synthesis design constraints and resolving STA issues as well as gate-level simulation failures Defining Clock/Reset domain crossing design constraints and evaluating violations using CDC/RDC tools Enhancing and maintaining existing SERDES PHY IPs supporting multiple protocols Interacting with Application Engineers for customer support and resolving technical issues with Analog and P&R teams At Synopsys, we’re at the heart of the innovations that change the way we work and play.
