Internship Experience:
At Synopsys, interns dive into real-world projects, gaining hands-on experience while collaborating with our passionate teams worldwide—and having fun in the process! You'll have the freedom to share your ideas, unleash your creativity, and explore your interests. This is your opportunity to bring your solutions to life and work with cutting-edge technology that shapes not only the future of innovation but also your own career path. Join us and start shaping your future today!
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to fuel today’s innovations and spark tomorrow’s creativity. Together, we embrace a growth mindset, empower one another, and collaborate to achieve our shared goals. Every day, we live by our values of Integrity, Excellence, Leadership, and Passion, fostering an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive—both at work and beyond.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Identify and refine circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area and performance targets.
Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure highest quality design.
Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
Present simulation data for peer and customer review.
Document design features and test plans.
What You’ll Need:
BSc degree and pursuing MSc or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or other relevant field of study.
Familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals.
Design experience and familiarity with SerDes sub-circuits: receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC.
Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed critical paths).
Understanding of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
Understanding of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.).
Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
Hands-on experience with physical layout of high-speed circuits is a plus.
Understanding of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired.
Good communication and documentation skills.
