What You’ll Need:

  • 10+ years of industry experience as an analog circuit designer or memory circuit designer.
  • Strong fundamentals of transistor-level CMOS circuit design and layout.
  • Leadership experience in guiding and mentoring others.
  • Proficiency with circuit simulation tools (XA/PrimeSim, HSIM, HSPICE, etc.).
  • Experience with industry-standard design and layout tools (Custom Compiler and ICV is a plus).
  • Hands-on experience with sense-amplifier, voltage regulator, charge pump, and bandgap reference design.
  • Experience with statistical design methodology (generating and analyzing Monte-Carlo results).
  • Experience with chip-level simulation.
  • Hands-on experience with silicon debugging.
  • Basic understanding of Verilog simulation flow is a plus.

Who You Are:

  • A team player with strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Detail-oriented and organized.
  • Independent and self-motivated.
  • Able to work effectively with multi-national, cross-functional teams.
  • Passionate about innovation and technology.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be part of the Non-Volatile-Memory (NVM) team at Synopsys, collaborating with highly skilled professionals dedicated to developing cutting-edge memory solutions.
