Job description

We Are:

At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative digital design engineer with a solid knowledge of ASIC development flow. As an ideal candidate, you are passionate about technology and thrive in a dynamic environment. You have a strong theoretical and practical background in high-speed serializer and data recovery circuits, and you are eager to contribute to the development of the next generation of NRZ and PAM-based SerDes products. You possess excellent communication skills and can effectively interact with different design groups and customer support teams. Your self-motivation and proactive approach enable you to meet tight deadlines while maintaining high design quality. You exhibit the ability to produce excellent results both independently and as part of a team. Your experience in RTL coding, synthesis design constraints, and resolving STA issues makes you a valuable asset to our team. If you are ready to take on new challenges and work with a veteran team of digital and mixed-signal engineers, we want to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing and verifying complex digital blocks for high-speed SerDes products.
• Writing block-level test-cases, including constrained directed random tests.
• Collaborating with mixed-signal design and verification teams to develop high-end mixed-signal designs.
• Developing and maintaining RTL code, modeling analog blocks, and writing complex system-level test-benches in Verilog.
• Defining synthesis design constraints and resolving STA issues and gate-level simulation failures.
• Interacting with Application Engineers for customer support and resolving technical issues with Analog and P&R teams.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Contributing to the development of cutting-edge SerDes products that drive the Era of Smart Everything.
• Enhancing the performance and capabilities of our silicon IP portfolio.
• Helping customers integrate more capabilities into their SoCs faster and with reduced risk.
• Ensuring the delivery of high-quality mixed-signal designs from specification development to functional and performance testing.
• Providing innovative solutions to complex design challenges and advancing our technological capabilities.
• Mentoring and guiding junior peers, sharing your expertise and knowledge to foster a collaborative and innovative team environment.

What You’ll Need:

• BSEE or MSEE plus a minimum of 2 years of digital design and verification experience in the industry.
• Experience in writing block-level test-cases, including constrained directed random tests.
• Proficiency in Verilog and VCS, with a good knowledge of back-end synthesis tools DC/PT.
• 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.

Who You Are:

• Excellent communication skills for interacting between different design groups and customer support teams.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and able to meet tight deadlines while maintaining high design quality.
• Creative problem solver with the ability to resolve issues in clever ways.
• Team player who can produce excellent results as a team contributor.
• Experienced in guiding junior peers and networking with senior internal and external personnel.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will join an experienced mixed-signal design and verification team, targeting the next generation of high-speed SerDes products. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-end mixed-signal designs, from specification development to performing functional and performance tests on prototype test-chips. We value collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning, providing you with opportunities to grow and excel in your career. This role is on-site, either in Markham or Mississauga, Ontario.

Rewards and Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
