  • Taking ownership of documentation projects and driving them to completion with minimal supervision.


The Impact You Will Have:

  • Enhancing the usability and adoption of Synopsys' ARC® portfolio by providing clear and comprehensive documentation.
  • Supporting over 275 customers worldwide who ship more than 2.5 billion ARC-based chips annually.
  • Contributing to the development of high-performance silicon chips and software content.
  • Facilitating the integration of more capabilities into an SoC, meeting unique performance, power, and size requirements of target applications.
  • Reducing the time-to-market and risk for differentiated products.
  • Enabling engineers and scientists to effectively use and understand our tools and technologies.


What You’ll Need:

  • 2-4 years of technical writing experience in the software or hardware industry.
  • Ability to understand and write complex technical concepts for a technical audience.
  • Thorough understanding of technical writing processes.
  • Experience in developer documentation and DevOps.
  • Working knowledge of DITA, Adobe FrameMaker, ReStructured Text (ReST)/Markdown, Sphinx/LaTeX infrastructure, and GitLab/GitHub.


Who You Are:

You are a self-motivated individual with a strong attention to detail and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. You possess excellent communication skills and can effectively interact with global teams and non-native English speakers. Your ability to prioritize tasks, adapt to changing requirements, and foster teamwork makes you an invaluable asset to our team.
