Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

You are a dynamic engineer with working experience in RTL implementation, verification, flow automation with TCL and understanding of DDR PHY protocols. You should have a passion for working with the best of the brains in the industry in developing end-to-end solutions and deploying them at our premier customer base. Your technical excellence and analytical skills, coupled with strong communication and interpersonal skills, make you a valuable asset to any team. You excel in communication, teamwork, and multitasking, and have experience working in cross-functional, multi-site environments.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Working closely with a world-class R&D team, you’ll be at the center of developing and bringing an end-to-end solution to our wide variety of customers in the domain of Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM).
• Working closely with customers, you will bring the detailed requirements into the factory to enable R&D for a strong, robust, and successful product development.
• Working closely with product development team, you will validate and end-to-end solution both internally (before shipment) as well as in customer environment.
• Driving the deployment and smooth execution of SLM solutions into customers’ projects.
• Enabling customers to realize the value of silicon health monitoring throughout the lifecycle of silicon bring-up, validation, through in-field operations.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enhancing Synopsys’ Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) IP portfolio and end-to-end solution especially in the growing field of multi-die domain.
• Driving the adoption of Synopsys’ SLM solutions at premier customer base worldwide.
• Influencing the development of next-generation SLM IPs and solutions.

What You’ll Need:

• BSEE/MSEE in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 6+ years of hands-on experience with RTL design and verification involving DDR PHYs or DDR Subsystems.
• Good exposure to JTAGIEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1687/1500, Test data access mechanism.
• Strong knowledge of DDR protocols.
• PCIe & USB protocol knowledge is a plus.

• Debugging abilities to identify and resolve issues in functional verification in UVM environment.
• Hands on experience in flow automation using TCL (Python knowledge is a plus).
• Knowledge of Synthesis is a must with understanding of timing constraints (SDC).
• Knowledge of Lint, CDC, RDC is a plus.
• Knowledge of physical implementation is not a must, but good to have.
• Knowledge of DFI protocol and any of the following JEDEC DDR memories like DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, LPDDR5, HBM3, HBM4 is a plus
• Ability to evaluate technical suggestions from customers and work with internal teams (product management/R&D) to make decisions
• Customer facing experience is a plus – educating/guiding customer on technical details of a solution 

• Hands-on bring-up and debug experience of silicon
• Architecture/micro-architecture experience

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

As part of the Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) solutions team, you will collaborate with global R&D teams to develop world-class IPs and end-to-end solutions to address silicon health issues at premier data center, AI, and automotive customers. Our team is dedicated to bringing solutions to enhance the life of a silicon anywhere it belongs.
