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 deep in Low Power flows and learned that power is not just a number in a spreadsheet, it is the thing that determines whether a mobile SoC ships or gets redesigned, whether a data center chip meets its thermal envelope or fails qualification. You know the difference between power estimation that looks good in RTL and power that actually correlates when the netlist comes back from synthesis. You have debugged enough UPF intent files to spot the clock gating issue, the retention flop misconfiguration, or the power domain isolation problem before it becomes a tape-out blocker.

You are comfortable sitting with a customer's design team who is missing their power budget by 20% and working backward from PrimePower reports, SpyGlass violations, and simulation waveforms to find the real culprit. You do not wait for the tool to tell you what is wrong, you know where to look. You have written enough Tcl and Perl scripts to automate power audits, correlate emulation data with RTL estimates, and generate the reports that actually help designers make decisions. At Synopsys, you will work directly with semiconductor companies across the region on their highest-stakes Low Power challenges, and what you solve will determine whether their chips meet power targets and ship on time.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partner with semiconductor companies across the region on Low Power verification challenges including power estimation, reduction, audit, correlation, and signoff
• Deploy and support Synopsys Low Power tools including PrimePower-RTL, SpyGlass-Power, VC LP, PTPX, and RTL Architect for customer projects from methodology setup through tapeout
• Work directly with customer design and verification teams to debug power reports, resolve UPF issues, and optimize flows for PPA (Performance, Power, Area) targets
• Collaborate with Synopsys R&D and product validation teams to develop methodologies that solve real customer problems and drive product improvements based on deployment feedback
• Lead technical engagements with customers to establish end-to-end Low Power flows including power exploration, memory power analysis, glitch analysis, and emulation-based power profiling
• Develop automation scripts in Tcl, Perl, and Unix Shell to streamline power analysis, correlation workflows, and reporting for customer deployments
• Coordinate with technical account managers and global AE teams to form strategies that drive adoption of Synopsys Low Power solutions and enable customer project success

The Impact You Will Have

• Enable customers to meet aggressive power budgets and ship complex SoCs on schedule by deploying robust Low Power verification and signoff flows
• Reduce power-related respins and late-stage design changes that cost customers months of schedule and millions in engineering effort
• Drive adoption of industry-leading Low Power methodologies across the region's semiconductor ecosystem, from mobile and automotive to data center and AI chips
• Shape the Low Power product roadmap by surfacing real customer pain points, correlation gaps, and methodology challenges that R&D needs to address
• Build long-term technical relationships with design teams that make Synopsys the trusted partner for their most critical power challenges
• Accelerate time-to-market for customers by helping them catch power issues at RTL before they become netlist-level crises
• Strengthen Synopsys' competitive position in Low Power by proving out flows, winning evaluations, and demonstrating measurable power reduction and correlation accuracy

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or Microelectronics with 5+ years of industry experience in Low Power design or applications engineering
• Deep hands-on experience with end-to-end Low Power flows and LP signoff, including power estimation, reduction, audit, and correlation
• Proven working knowledge of Synopsys Low Power tools such as PrimePower-RTL (logical and physical modes), SpyGlass-Power, VC LP, PTPX, or RTL Architect
• Strong expertise in UPF-based Low Power verification, power domain analysis, retention strategies, isolation cells, and power state management
• Solid understanding of PPA challenges and analysis, including memory power, glitch power, and emulation-based cycle-accurate power profiling
• Advanced scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, and Unix Shell for automation, debugging, and custom flow development
• Exceptional knowledge of Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog RTL, and ASIC design flows from RTL through netlist-level power signoff

Who You Are

• You can look at a power report with 10,000 instances and immediately know which three things are driving the problem
• Comfortable explaining to a customer why their RTL power estimate does not match their gate-level numbers and what to fix in their UPF to close the gap
• You manage multiple customer engagements across different companies and project stages without losing track of what is blocking each one
• Self-directed enough to own a Low Power deployment from kickoff through signoff without waiting for someone to tell you the next step
• You build relationships with customer design leads and R&D engineers that last beyond a single project, becoming their go-to expert when power gets hard
• Open to travel across the region for onsite customer engagements, methodology workshops, and technical deep dives when it moves the work forward

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the regional Applications Engineering team supporting semiconductor companies across the area on their most complex Low Power verification and signoff challenges. This team works closely with global AE experts, R&D, product validation, and technical account managers to deliver end-to-end solutions that drive customer success and business growth. Your recruiter will share more about team structure, coverage model, and collaboration dynamics during the interview process.

Rewards and Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
