Job Description and Requirements

We Are: At Synopsys, our Silicon IP business is expanding to serve growing demand for special-purpose silicon. We are moving beyond traditional standards-based IP into application-optimized IP (AOIP), helping customers develop differentiated silicon tailored to specific workloads and system architectures. As AI drives demand for custom silicon across hyperscalers and system companies, we use our interface IP leadership, system expertise, and engineering scale to deliver optimized IP subsystems and platforms that accelerate time-to-market while improving performance and efficiency. The acceleration of frontier intelligence is fueling an unprecedented demand for compute power while increasing system complexity, and purpose-built silicon is reshaping the IP market. You Are: You are an experienced and passionate Analog Methodology Engineer with a deep understanding of mixed-signal circuit design principles and emerging AI/ML technologies. You thrive in a collaborative environment and work well with a cross-functional team of experts. Your hands-on experience with transistor-level simulation, reliability analysis, and static timing analysis (STA) sets you apart. You are proficient in scripting and automation, and you use those skills to streamline design processes and mentor other engineers. You apply AI and machine learning to analog circuit optimization, your knowledge spans analog and mixed-signal circuits, and you have a strong background in silicon IP release requirements. You are also credible with customers, product teams, and foundries, and you can turn methodology strategy into decisions other organizations will adopt. Your communication is clear, and you are self-motivated, detail-oriented, and committed to excellence. What You’ll Be Doing: The Analog Integration Team (AIT) exists to coordinate and accelerate methodology adoption across analog and adjacent engineering domains, including circuit-to-layout, circuit-to-timing, silicon-to-lab correlation, SI/PI integration, and other mixed-signal cross-domain workflows. In this role, you will: Provide clear ownership for analog and adjacent-domain methodology areas. Act as the focal point for customer-driven methodology requirements and integration challenges. Be accountable for prioritization, adoption, stakeholder engagement, and execution. Improve coordination across product teams and adjacent engineering organizations, including engagement with customers and foundries. Support methodology for application-optimized IP and the special-purpose silicon customers are building for specific workloads and system architectures. The Impact You Will Have: Establish sustainable ownership for analog and adjacent-domain methodologies. Improve responsiveness to customer methodology requirements. Reduce ambiguity on methodology ownership and escalation paths. Improve alignment between methodology strategy and execution. Accelerate methodology adoption for strategic initiatives and customers, including application-optimized IP for special-purpose silicon. Provide measurable accountability for methodology development, deployment, and customer engagement.

You have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field; MSEE or PhD preferred. You have 18-25 years of experience in IC design with a BSEE degree, or 15-18 years with an MSEE or PhD. You have extensive expertise in analog and mixed-signal methodology, including circuit-to-layout, circuit-to-timing, silicon-to-lab correlation, SI/PI integration, and the workflow gaps between those steps. You
