You are an expert in system-level architecture for serial-link transceivers, with 15+ years of experience and a passion for pushing technology boundaries. You thrive in cross-functional teams, communicate complex ideas clearly, and have a track record of successful product development. Your deep knowledge of high-speed analog/digital design and strong leadership make you an ideal fit.

What You'll Be Doing:
* Architecture: definition of architecture and specifications for the transmitter and receiver
* Modelling: design and maintenance of the system level model
* Signal/Power Integrity: analyzing different signal and power integrity requirements
* Sign-off: system level simulation of the design performance across multiple protocols and channels
* Silicon: qualification and correlation of performance and algorithms in silicon
* Customers: assisting customers on system level performance and algorithmic issues

What You'll Need:
* You have a MSc or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 15+ yrs of experience.
* Familiarity with modelling of SERDES transmitters and receivers in Matlab or similar tool
* Knowledge of circuit topologies in high-speed Rx/Tx SerDes PHY
* Understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques.
* Knowledge of CDR architectures and CDR loop dynamics
* Experience in analyzing link budgets for either NRZ and PAM4 high-speed serial links
* Knowledge about common high-speed serial data protocols including Ethernet, OIF, JESD, CPRI
* Experience in lab testing of high-speed serial links

Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of this position, key qualifications include one or more of the following:
* Modelling - experience in Matlab/Simulink/C modeling of circuits and systems
* Communications theory - equalization, coding, noise/crosstalk filtering
* Digital - background in digital signal process (DSP)
* Analog - background in high-speed analog CMOS circuit design
* Hardware - awareness on per-protocol handing of RX and TX adaptation; hands on experience in measurement of transceiver performance

The Impact You Will Have:
* Drive next-gen connectivity solutions.
* Advance Synopsys' technical leadership.
* Enable superior performance for customers.
* Mentor and elevate team expertise.
* Contribute to industry standards.
* Promote collaboration and innovation

Who You Are:
* Innovative, collaborative, and detail-oriented leader.
* Strong communicator and problem-solver.
* Committed to diversity and continuous learning.

The Team You'll Be A Part Of:
You'll join a collaborative group of analog, digital and hardware engineers driving enterprise connectivity innovation.
