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 starting your career in digital verification, or you have some early experience and want to deepen your skills. Maybe you have worked with Verilog or SystemVerilog in university projects, or perhaps you have done an internship where you ran simulations and debugged testbenches. 

At Synopsys, you will learn to verify DisplayPort and HDMI IP using industry-standard tools and practices, with mentorship from experienced engineers who will guide your development.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Write test cases and develop UVM testbench components under guidance from senior engineers
  • Run simulations, analyze results, and document coverage progress
  • Debug simulation failures using waveforms and logs with team support
  • Work with frontier AI models and build agentic workflows for verification, from automated testbench creation and test planning to coverage analysis and closure
  • Learn to apply SystemVerilog assertions and functional coverage techniques
  • Support functional safety verification activities for ISO 26262 compliance


The Impact You Will Have

  • Your test cases will help ensure Synopsys IP meets quality standards before customer delivery
  • Your verification work will help catch bugs before they reach silicon
  • Your contributions will support automotive certification efforts for functional safety
  • Your growth as a verification engineer will add capacity to the team


What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • Understanding of IC design flows and basic verification concepts
  • Familiarity with Verilog or VHDL from coursework or previous projects
  • Exposure to SystemVerilog and UVM, even if not yet used in production
  • Basic comfort with Unix environments and willingness to learn scripting
  • Experience building AI agents, agentic workflows, and AI-driven engineering automation will be a distinct advantage
  • Good problem-solving skills and strong communication in English


Who You Are

  • You ask questions when you need clarity rather than making assumptions
  • You learn from code reviews and apply feedback to improve your work
  • You can explain what you are working on and where you need help
  • You are motivated to develop your verification skills and grow technically
  • You work well in a team and contribute positively to collaboration


The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the IP team developing DisplayPort and HDMI digital controllers. This global team provides mentorship to help you grow as a verification engineer. You will work with senior engineers who will guide your development in UVM methodology and protocol verification. Short-term travel may occasionally be required.
