Lead Solutions Engineer: Analog Design - Implementation and Verification

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Cadence Design Systems Inc. is seeking a motivated Lead Solutions Engineer: Analog Design - Implementation and Verification to join our team in Brazil.

In this role, you will be part of the Silicon Engineering team, working alongside an experienced Cadence team and leading-edge customers to implement analog IPs and subsystems in advanced process nodes. You will be responsible for developing block-level specifications, modeling, design, layout and verification of high-speed analog circuits, using Cadence’s market-leading technologies to help customers bring their design ideas into the market.

Job Description:

• Review of industry standards (e.g., SerDes, UCIe, Ethernet) to develop analog sub-blocks from specification to final verification.

• Identify and refine analog circuit architectures to optimize power, area and performance targets.

• Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure high-quality design.

• Oversee and implement physical layouts to minimize the effects of parasitics, device stress, and process variations.

• Present simulation data for peer and customer reviews.

• Document design features and test plans.

• Provide mentorship for less experienced team members.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer or electrical engineering, or a related field.

• In-depth knowledge of transistor-level circuit design and CMOS fundamentals.

• Design experience with and familiarity with the following analog sub-circuits: voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillators, delay-locked loops, phase-locked loops, regulators, bandgap references, ADCs, and DACs.

• Familiarity with custom digital design (e.g., high-speed critical paths).

• Strong understanding of high-speed layout considerations, such as parasitics, crosstalk isolation, and supply and bias distribution.

• Advanced proficiency in EDA tools for analog circuit design and verification, preferably using the Cadence Virtuoso environment, including simulation, parasitic extraction, electromagnetic modeling, EM/IR and reliability analysis, as well as LVS and DRC.

• Experience with Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation control/data capture.

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

Nice to have:

• Experience with advanced nodes layout.

• Scripting skills in Perl, Python, or SKILL are a plus.

Additional Details:

• Employment category: CLT

• Work schedule: 40 hours/week

• Hybrid work

• Competitive benefits
