Descripción de la vacante

Synopsys, Inc. in Hyderabad, India is seeking a Senior Memory Design Engineer to own memory blocks from architecture through tapeout. You will design embedded memories that ship in IP products and collaborate with layout, CAD, and frontend teams to ensure robust verification.

You will lead memory bitcell development, define layout rules, and mentor junior engineers while driving high‑density memory configurations across process nodes.

Formación

• Experience in CMOS memory circuit design including SRAM, register files, or ROM.
• Strong background in transistor‑level design and layout considerations.
• Proficiency with SPICE‑based simulators and memory verification workflows.

Responsabilidades

• Design and develop embedded CMOS memories including SRAM, register files, and ROM for Synopsys IP products.
• Own circuit architecture and transistor‑level implementation for high‑speed, low‑power, or high‑density memories.
• Perform schematic entry, SPICE simulation, layout planning, and supervise layout execution to final verification.
• Develop and verify bitcells, define layout rules, and drive extraction closure with the physical design team.
• Interface with CAD teams to integrate memory designs into compiler automation flows and generate EDA models.
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to validate timing, power, and functional models across flows.
• Mentor junior engineers and lead technical aspects of memory design projects from concept to delivery.

Senior Memory Design Engineer

We Are

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 Are

You have spent years in the analog and mixed‑signal trenches, designing memory circuits that have to work across voltage corners, temperature extremes, and process variations without a second chance. You know that an SRAM bitcell is not just six transistors on a page, it is a tradeoff between read stability, write margin, leakage, and area, and you have made those calls enough times to know which knob to turn when a design is not closing.

You think in terms of transistor‑level behavior, not just simulation results. When a memory fails at a corner, you do not just re‑run SPICE, you go back to the schematic, check your layout parasitics, and figure out what actually broke. You have worked closely with layout teams, and you understand that a good floorplan saves you three weeks of iteration later.

You are comfortable owning a memory block from architecture through tapeout. You can sit with a compiler team and explain why your bitcell needs a specific routing constraint, then turn around and review a layout with a physical design engineer without losing context. At Synopsys, you will design embedded memories that ship in our IP portfolio and power chips across the industry.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop embedded CMOS memories including single‑port SRAM, dual‑port SRAM, register files, and ROM for Synopsys IP products
• Own circuit architecture and transistor‑level implementation for ultra‑high‑speed, ultra‑low‑power, or high‑density memory configurations
• Perform schematic entry, SPICE simulation, layout planning, and supervise physical layout execution through to final verification
• Develop and verify bitcells, define layout rules, and drive layout design and parasitic extraction closure with the physical design team
• Interface with CAD teams to integrate memory designs into compiler automation flows and generate EDA models for customer use
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to define and validate full verification flows including timing, power, and functional models
• Mentor junior engineers and lead technical aspects of memory design projects from concept to delivery

The Impact You Will Have

• Your memory designs will ship as part of Synopsys IP offerings used by semiconductor companies worldwide in high‑volume production chips
• The bitcells and architectures you develop will define performance, power, and area benchmarks for next‑generation embedded memory IP
• Your layout planning and verification rigor will reduce tapeout risk and speed time to market for memory compiler releases
• The automation flows you help define will enable faster, more reliable memory generation for customers across process nodes
• Your technical mentorship will build design capability within the team and raise the quality bar for future memory products
• The tradeoffs you make between speed, power, and density will directly influence customer adoption and competitiveness in the IP market
• Your collaboration with CAD and frontend teams will improve tooling, models, and verification coverage across the memory IP portfolio

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical field
• Deep hands‑on experience with CMOS memory circuit design including SRAM, register files, or ROM
• Proficiency with circuit simulation tools such as HSPICE, Spectre, or similar SPICE‑based simulators
• Strong understanding of memory layout design, parasitic extraction, and layout verification tools like Calibre or Assura
• Scripting capability in C‑Shell, Perl, or similar languages; experience with C++ or JavaScript is a plus
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects and mentor junior engineers through complex design challenges
• Experience working with memory compiler flows, EDA model generation, or design automation is a strong plus

Who You Are

• You can look at a bitcell schematic and immediately spot a read stability issue or a leakage path without running a full simulation
• You know how to work with layout designers, not just hand off a schematic and hope for the best, you review floorplans, flag routing issues, and iterate together
• You are comfortable making technical tradeoffs in ambiguity, choosing between a faster access time and lower leakage when the spec does not give you both
• You can explain a circuit‑level design decision to a compiler engineer or a product manager in terms they understand without oversimplifying the engineering
• You stay organized across multiple design blocks, verification runs, and layout reviews without losing track of what is blocking tapeout
• You take ownership, if a memory fails characterization, you do not wait for someone else to debug it, you dig in and figure out what went wrong
