• Enable customers to autonomously explore vast design spaces, achieving optimal results with reduced manual intervention.
• Strengthen Synopsys’ position as the global leader in silicon design and verification by delivering innovative, high-impact solutions.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in chip design, EDA, or related fields.
• Expertise in at least one domain of chip design (architectural, micro-architectural, RTL, circuit, or physical design).
• Strong programming and automation skills using Perl, Python, Tcl, or shell scripting.
• Solid understanding of Unix/Linux environments and design flow automation.
• Knowledge of industry-standard RTL design, synthesis, place and route, verification, ATPG, custom-circuit design, and signoff flows.
• Familiarity with low power design techniques, computer architecture, and machine learning principles.

Who You Are:

• A creative problem solver who approaches challenges with curiosity and resilience.
• An effective communicator who collaborates well with multidisciplinary teams.
• Detail-oriented with a passion for quality and continuous improvement.
• Self-driven, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity in fast-paced environments.
• Committed to learning, growth, and sharing knowledge with others.
