HBM PHY Architect & Silicon Debug Lead

Synopsys Inc; Boxborough (MA); Presencial; USD 180.000 - 260.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Synopsys Inc in Massachusetts seeks a senior analog/mixed-signal design engineer to drive silicon-to-simulation correlation for HBM PHY test chips and to guide architecture tradeoffs across power, performance, and area. You will mentor junior designers, review layouts for parasitics, and collaborate with multiple global teams to deliver high-speed memory IP.

You will join a cross-functional team focused on HBM interfaces powering AI systems, with responsibility for design blocks, validation, and

Formación

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with analog/mixed-signal/RF focus.
• 12+ years designing analog/mixed-signal circuits for memory interfaces.
• Proven silicon debugging experience for SI, PI, and functional failures.
• Deep understanding of layout parasitics, substrate coupling, power delivery.
• Strong grounding in SI and PI concepts and layout review experience.
• Experience defining or contributing to PHY architecture with power/performance tradeoffs.
• Scripting in Python/Perl for design automation or data analysis.

Responsabilidades

• Drive silicon-to-simulation correlation for HBM PHY test chips, identifying root causes when measured results diverge from models and feeding findings back into design methodology
• Support customer silicon bring-up and debug, working directly with engineering teams to diagnose signal integrity, power integrity, and functional issues in real deployment scenarios
• Define architecture for next-generation HBM PHY products, making tradeoffs across power, performance, and area that hold up in silicon, not just spreadsheets
• Design and validate analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks for high-speed memory interfaces, including PLLs, DLLs, drivers, receivers, and voltage regulators
• Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure circuit performance is preserved through physical implementation, reviewing and guiding floorplan, routing, and parasitic extraction
• Work with a cross-functional, multi-site team including digital designers, verification engineers, and product architects to deliver integrated PHY IP on aggressive schedules
• Mentor mid-level and junior analog designers, reviewing schematics, sharing debug techniques, and building design knowledge across the team
