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 over a decade building high-speed Ser Des circuits that actually ship in products, not just pass simulations. The difference between a VCO that locks cleanly across PVT and one that drifts at the edge of spec is something you see coming three design reviews earlier, and you are the kind of engineer who catches it before it becomes a silicon problem. You think in both transistor-level trade-offs and team-level execution. When a junior designer brings you a sampler topology, you can spot the bandwidth bottleneck in two minutes and sketch three alternatives that might work better, then help them choose the right one for this particular standard and this particular process node. Managing a team does not mean you stop designing. You still get into the schematics when a critical path needs attention, but you also know when to step back and let your team solve it. You care about building engineers, not just circuits. At Synopsys, you will lead a team developing multi-Gbps Ser Des IP in advanced Fin FET and GAA nodes, and the work you guide will power connectivity in systems that matter. What You'll Be Doing Lead a team of analog designers developing multi-Gbps NRZ and PAM4 Ser Des IP from standards analysis through silicon bring-up Conduct technical design reviews for critical Ser Des sub-circuits including equalizers, samplers, voltage and current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCOs, phase mixers, DLLs, PLLs, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs Translate Ser Des standards and system requirements into block-level specifications and circuit architectures that your team can execute against Review simulation results, electrical characterization data, and post-silicon debug findings, then recommend design updates or corrective actions Build project schedules and action plans that keep complex analog IP development on track across multiple process nodes Develop and mentor your team through hiring, technical coaching, design reviews, and career growth conversations Work cross-functionally with digital designers, verification engineers, layout teams, and CAD to resolve mixed-signal integration and timing challenges The Impact You Will Have Deliver high-speed Ser Des IP that enables PCIe and Ethernet connectivity in customer products across a range of industries Define circuit architectures and design strategies that set the technical direction for your team and influence IP roadmap decisions Improve design quality and reduce post-silicon risk by catching issues early through structured reviews and hands-on technical guidance Build a stronger analog design team by hiring well, coaching effectively, and creating an environment where engineers grow their skills Accelerate time to market by maintaining clear schedules, removing blockers, and keeping cross-functional teams aligned Influence process node readiness and design-for-reliability practices through your team's work in advanced Fin FET and GAA technologies Shape the technical standards and documentation that define how Ser Des IP is designed, tested, and delivered at Synopsys What You'll Need Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering or related field 14+ years of hands-on analog design experience focused on high-speed Ser Des applications 1 to 2 years in a management or supervisory role leading analog design teams Deep transistor-level circuit design expertise with strong CMOS fundamentals and experience across a wide range of Ser Des sub-circuits including receive equalizers, samplers, drivers, serializers, deserializers, VCOs, phase mixers, DLLs, PLLs, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs Proven ability to design IP for high-speed connectivity standards such as PCIe and Ethernet Solid understanding of mixed-signal design challenges including analog-digital interface timing, ESD circuit techniques and layout, custom digital design for high-speed logic paths, and layout effects like matching, reliability, and proximity Experience with design-for-reliability considerations including electromigration, IR drop, and aging effects Who You Are You stay technically hands-on even in a management role. You can still open a schematic, debug a phase noise issue, or review a layout for matching and reliability concerns without losing a step. You know how to assess complex analog work quickly. When a designer brings you a PLL architecture or a driver topology, you can identify the risk areas and suggest a better path forward in one conversation. You build schedules that reflect reality, not wishful thinking. You understand what takes three weeks versus three days in analog design, and you plan accordingly. You communicate clearly with people who do not live in your domain. You can explain a jitter budget to a digital architect or a post-silicon issue to a program manager without losing the technical thread. You care about growing your team. You give feedback that helps people get better, you create space for engineers to take on stretch work, and you hire people who will raise the bar. You push back when something does not make sense. If a spec is unrealistic or a timeline ignores a known process limitation, you say so and propose an alternative. The Team You'll Be Part Of You will join a team focused on high-speed Ser Des IP and transistor-level analog and mixed-signal design. The work supports high-speed connectivity applications including PCIe and Ethernet. Your recruiter will share more about team size, reporting structure, and specific product roadmap responsibilities during the interview process.
