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 are early in your career but you already know that writing code is the easy part. The harder part is writing code that someone else can read, debug, and build on six months from now. You care about that difference because you have seen what happens when shortcuts compound into technical debt, and you would rather do it right the first time.

You are comfortable not knowing everything yet. When you hit a problem you cannot solve in an hour, you know when to dig deeper and when to ask for help. You learn by doing, by reading other people's code, by asking why a design choice was made instead of just copying it. Object-oriented design makes sense to you, not just as theory but as a way to organize complexity so it does not bite you later.

Working with a distributed team does not intimidate you. You know how to communicate clearly in writing, how to document your work so others can pick it up, and how to stay aligned without needing someone in the room. At Synopsys, you will work with engineers who have been doing this for years, and you are ready to learn from them while contributing from day one.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, implement, and test software modules and subsystems as part of a larger R&D effort, working closely with senior engineers who will guide your technical decisions
• Write clear, maintainable code and documentation so your work integrates cleanly with the rest of the system and can be understood by teammates across time zones
• Debug and verify issues found during QA or beta testing, tracing problems back to root cause and developing fixes that actually hold
• Learn and apply software development best practices, including version control, code review, testing strategies, and design patterns used across the team
• Support release testing and beta cycles for assigned products, ensuring stability and correctness before code ships to customers
• Collaborate with a geographically distributed team using shared tools, clear communication, and disciplined workflow practices

The Impact You Will Have

• Your code will become part of software products used by engineering companies in the aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and electronics industries.
• The modules you build and maintain will directly support the stability and functionality of tools that engineers around the world depend on daily
• Your attention to detail during testing and bug verification will catch issues before they reach customers, protecting product quality and user trust
• The documentation and design clarity you bring will make it easier for your team to onboard new engineers and maintain the codebase over time
• Your ability to learn quickly and apply best practices will raise the bar for how early career engineers contribute at Synopsys
• The questions you ask and the feedback you give during code reviews will help the team surface assumptions and improve shared understanding

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related technical field
• Essential experience: C#, .NET, Git, Visual Studio
• Preferred experience: Azure DevOps, Python, Github Copilot
• Understanding of object-oriented design principles and how to apply them in real code, not just in theory
• Familiarity with the software development lifecycle, including design, implementation, testing, and release processes
• Ability to write clean, readable code and communicate technical ideas clearly in writing and conversation
• Comfort working in a distributed team environment where collaboration happens across locations and time zones

Who You Are

• You ask clarifying questions before you start coding because you know that building the wrong thing well is still a waste of time
• When something breaks, you do not guess, you trace the logic, reproduce the issue, and understand what actually went wrong before proposing a fix
• You can take feedback on your code without taking it personally, and you see code review as a chance to learn, not a critique of your abilities
• You stay organized enough to juggle multiple tasks, a bug fix here, a module implementation there, without losing track of what is due when
• You are comfortable saying "I do not know yet, but I will find out" and then actually following through

The Team You'll Be Part Of
