Layout Design, Staff Engineer

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 have spent years in the trenches of custom layout, working on designs where a 10-micron mistake costs months and where matching, symmetry, and parasitic control are not nice-to-haves but the entire point. You know that a great floorplan is not about fitting everything in, it is about making the right tradeoffs between area, routing congestion, and signal integrity before anyone writes a single polygon. You have debugged EMIR violations at 3am and walked out knowing exactly which power stripe needed to move and why. You do not just execute layouts, you think about them. When someone hands you a schematic, you are already mentally placing critical pairs, planning guard rings, and asking about the ESD strategy. You have worked in 7nm or below, and you understand that FinFET and GAA are not just smaller nodes, they are different games with different rules. You mentor without micromanaging, you lead without needing the title, and you care about the quality of what ships, not just what closes timing. At Synopsys, you will work on DDR and HBM PHY IP that powers the memory subsystems in everything from data centers to AI accelerators. The work is hard, the standards are high, and the team expects you to bring both hands and brain. <h3 style='--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246/0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ; box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.25rem; padding-top: 0.375rem; line-height: 1.75rem; color: rgb(16, 27, 35); font-family: Roboto, 'Roboto Fallback'; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-spac
