R&D Sr. Staff Design Engineer - DDR/HBM PHY Architecture

R&D Sr. Staff Design Engineer - DDR/HBM PHY Architecture

We're looking for a PHY architect to join the DDR/HBM PHY architecture team.

Does this sound like a good role for you?

In this position, you will be part of an architecture team that plans and executes the design for the next-generation DDR and HBM PHYs in the Synopsys IP portfolio. The job entails working with senior architects to understand standard specifications, evaluate ideas, draft specifications, and enable a larger team of design engineers bringing new ideas into silicon. You'd leverage your understanding of computer architecture, mixed-signal design, off-chip signaling, RTL development, design-for-test, and logical verification to create leading-edge products. Supporting Synopsys' customers is also a important part of the role. You will join a collaborative, multi-person engineering team engaged in similar activities on related DDR and HBM PHY development projects.

Job Responsibilities:

• With the guidance of a senior architect, understand marketing, customer desires and standard specification and translate those into a set of product design features and functions of ongoing and future designs to create best-in-class products

• Generates the functional description for the product, creating specifications describing the interface components, operation, structure, and behavioral parameters

• Develop models representing the performance features of interface design sub-components
• Solve design execution problems tied to the product definition
• Perform feasibility studies through the evaluation of trial designs
• Document results, conclusions, and technical insights into performance, power, area, and functional parameters
• Interact and communicate with design teams performing digital design and verification, analog circuit design and verification, and layout design

• Supports customers in their implementation of the product

Key Qualifications and Experience:

• Possesses a minimum of 8+ years of related experience or an advanced degree with 6+ years of related experience.
• Understands high-speed interface principles, such as mixed-signal design and off-chip signaling
• Skilled in generating and supporting documentation through written specifications, and communicating those specifications within a design team and to external customers
• Well-versed in RTL logic design, simulation, test planning, and verification of complex integrated circuit components
• Knowledgeable in design-for-test, timing analysis, power analysis, behavioral modeling, and synthesis constraints
• Able to work across a multi-site team to communicate ideas, understand problems, and find solutions to create a leading-edge design.
• Skilled in troubleshooting and debug of mixed-signal interfaces
• Knowledge in DDR protocols and JEDEC spec is a plus
• Experience with GenAI in the design process is a plus
• Able to work autonomously with high-level guidance
