We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.


You Are:

You are a passionate engineer who thrives at the intersection of digital and mixed-signal innovation. You bring at least five years of hands-on experience in ASIC digital design and verification, and you’re eager to solve complex challenges that push the boundaries of what’s possible in high-speed chip development. Your foundation in Verilog or VHDL is rock-solid, and you’re fluent in the language of functional, assertion, and code coverage. You see specifications not just as requirements, but as opportunities to architect robust, scalable, and high-performance systems.

You excel at collaborating within dynamic, cross-functional teams and can clearly communicate your ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your attention to detail is matched only by your commitment to quality and continuous improvement. Whether analyzing design flows for clock domain crossings (CDC), synthesis, DFT, or low power optimization, you approach each task with curiosity, creativity, and a drive to deliver excellence. You embrace ambiguity, adapt quickly, and thrive in an environment where innovation is the norm. Above all, you are inspired by the opportunity to contribute to technologies that will define the next era of intelligent systems.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and verifying complex ASIC digital and mixed-signal systems using Verilog or VHDL.
  • Analyzing digital and analog specifications to develop robust system-level designs.
  • Collaborating on design flow analysis for CDC, synthesis, DFT, and low power methodologies to optimize performance and reliability.
  • Developing, executing, and tracking comprehensive test plans to ensure thorough verification coverage.
  • Performing and analyzing functional, assertion, and code coverage to validate design integrity.
  • Investigating failure cases, debugging issues, and running gate-level simulations to drive resolution and product quality.
  • Working closely with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment across the design lifecycle.


The Impact You Will Have:

  • Accelerate the delivery of cutting-edge silicon solutions that power next-generation technologies.
  • Enhance the reliability and performance of Synopsys’ ASIC products through rigorous verification and innovative design methodologies.

  • Promote efficient cross-team collaboration, ensuring seamless communication and project alignment.
  • Contribute to the company’s leadership in high-speed digital and mixed-signal design by applying deep technical expertise.
  • Help shape industry standards and best practices for digital design and verification.


What You’ll Need:

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, with at least 5 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proficient in Verilog or VHDL for digital design and verification.
  • Strong familiarity with code quality metrics and methodologies.
  • Experience in high-speed digital and mixed-signal design, including asynchronous clock crossings and DFT methodologies.
  • Deep understanding of CDC, synthesis, and power optimization techniques.
  • Simulation experience and the ability to debug collaboratively with verification teams.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills, with the ability to interface with various design groups and customer support teams.


Who You Are:

  • A collaborative team player with a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
  • Detail-oriented, with a commitment to delivering high-quality results.
  • Effective communicator who can bridge gaps between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Motivated by innovation, continuous learning, and professional growth.
