We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. 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 are the person others call when the silicon refuses to cooperate, and the test bench isn’t telling the whole story. Your hands have been on oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and BERTs more hours than you can count, and you know how to coax meaningful data out of noise. You get a real charge from solving problems at the intersection of analog and digital, where a protocol misstep or a subtle board layout bug can ripple through the system. PCIe and Ethernet are not just acronyms to you; you know their link training quirks, their negotiation steps, and where things go off the rails. You thrive on collaborating with both analog designers and digital RTL teams, translating between the two and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. You are methodical when debugging, but you move fast when a customer’s tape out is on the line. You see test boards, firmware, and silicon as one interconnected system and you enjoy the detective work it takes to find root cause. At Synopsys, you’ll be at the center of the action, resolving the issues that keep products moving forward.What You'll Be DoingProvide direct technical support to customers during silicon bring-up and production phases for high-speed SerDes IPDiagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex interoperability and performance issues involving analog and digital design layersCollaborate closely with internal analog, digital, and software teams to drive root cause analysis and implement solutionsUse lab instrumentation (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, BERT, network analyzer) to perform hands‑on debug and precision measurementsInterpret and simulate Verilog/RTL to understand and isolate digital design issues impacting silicon behaviorAnalyze protocol‑specific behaviors (PCIe, Ethernet) during link training and operation to identify and resolve failuresDocument findings and best practices, communicating technical insights clearly to both customers and internal teamsWhat You’ll NeedBachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or similar education with at least 10+ years of experienceSolid experience with electronics test and debug instrumentation (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, BERT, network analyzer)Strong understanding of high‑speed SerDes applications, including analog and digital design interactionsFamiliarity with PCIe and Ethernet protocols, especially the link training phases and common failure modesExperience interpreting and simulating Verilog/RTL for debug purposes is highly valuablePractical knowledge of IC design and high‑speed board/system bring‑up is a plusExperience executing precision measurements and troubleshooting at the silicon and system levelThe Impact You Will HaveAccelerate customer silicon bring‑up cycles by resolving blockers that could delay product launchesIncrease the reliability and performance of deployed SerDes IP by surfacing and addressing subtle system‑level issuesEnable customers to achieve first‑pass silicon success, reducing costly re‑spins and engineering churnImprove internal R&D processes by feeding real‑world debug insights back into design and validation teamsFoster trust and credibility with key customers through technical leadership and responsive supportRaise the technical bar within the team by sharing advanced debug techniques and test methodologiesWho You AreYou see a failing test as a puzzle to solve, not a setback, and you keep digging until you find the root causeYou communicate technical findings clearly, whether you’re writing up a debug summary or walking a customer through a scope traceYou are comfortable switching gears between lab work, code analysis, and cross‑team meetings, prioritizing what moves the needleYou naturally build bridges between analog, digital, and software teams, making sure details don’t fall through the cracksYou manage your time and workload with little direction, always keeping the bigger picture in viewYou document your process so others can learn from your discoveries and avoid the same pitfallsThe Team You'll Be Part Of Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.Rewards and Benefits We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non‑monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the benefits during the hiring process.#J-18808-Ljbffr
