What You'll Be Doing
Lead architecture, circuit design, and physical implementation of embedded memory IP including SRAM, register files, and ROM across advanced nodes
Define block specifications with system architects, translating customer requirements into concrete design targets
Manage circuit and layout engineers, assign work packages, track progress, and coordinate with project management
Execute design reviews, create documentation including datasheets and design reports
Support silicon evaluation, analyze field issues, and drive root cause analysis when designs fail
Drive continuous improvement in design methodologies and technology evaluation with global teams
The Impact You Will Have
Deliver memory IP meeting aggressive power, performance, and area targets for AI, automotive, mobile, and data center SoCs
Enable faster customer time-to-market with robust, variation-aware memory solutions that work across process corners
Build and mentor engineers who can independently own complex memory design challenges
Influence memory architecture direction across Synopsys IP portfolio through technical reviews
Reduce design risk and silicon respins by catching issues early through rigorous modeling and simulation
Expand Synopsys memory IP capabilities into next-generation process nodes
Strengthen the technical depth of the Da Nang Design Center through targeted mentorship, knowledge sharing, and continuous process improvement initiatives.
What You'll Need
Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
10+ years in full embedded memory design flow: architecture, circuit design, physical implementation, compiler automation, characterization, timing, and model generation
Deep expertise in SRAM, register file, and ROM architecture with advanced custom circuit implementations
Direct experience designing memory IP in advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, or beyond) with variation-aware design understanding
Strong knowledge of digital design, verification methodologies, and industry-standard EDA tools
Experience managing engineering teams including task delegation, performance management, and technical mentorship
Who You Are
You explain complex circuit tradeoffs to project managers in two sentences without losing nuance
You ask the right questions when facing ambiguity rather than waiting for someone else to define the problem
You review work with a critical eye but without ego, focusing on making designs better
You stay current on process technology trends and new memory architectures because what worked at 28nm does not translate to 5nm
You manage competing priorities across multiple projects without dropping threads, escalating early when deadlines are at risk
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will join the Silicon IP business unit in Da Nang, part of a global team developing memory compiler IP for SoCs across automotive, mobile, AI, and data center markets. The team collaborates with system architects, physical design engineers, and verification teams across multiple Synopsys sites.
