Company Overview
Synopsys provides engineering solutions from silicon to systems, including silicon design, IP, simulation, analysis, and design services.
The role supports DesignWare IP used in next-generation silicon products across data centers, automotive, and mobile devices.
Role Profile
The engineer will own verification for complex IP, subsystems, or cross-IP methodologies from architecture through signoff and customer delivery.
The role emphasizes ownership, technical judgment, verification risk management, and mentoring.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own verification for a major IP block, subsystem, or cross-IP methodology through final signoff and customer delivery.
- Define verification strategy, planning, architecture, and signoff criteria for complex IP projects, including Ethernet and USB protocols.
- Lead technical execution by setting objectives, tracking milestones, managing risk, and driving coverage and quality closure.
- Apply AI-assisted methods to debug, regression analytics, test generation, and coverage closure.
- Build reusable verification infrastructure, UVM environments, and scalable methodology improvements.
- Mentor verification engineers on test planning, debug, coverage analysis, and verification best practices.
- Collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, and quality teams to align deliverables with project goals.
Expected Impact
- Deliver thoroughly verified, customer-ready DesignWare IP and reduce integration risk for silicon teams.
- Improve coverage closure, regression cycle time, debug time, and escaped-defect rates.
- Advance reusable verification infrastructure and methodologies across IP projects.
- Strengthen the verification organization through mentoring and scalable best practices.
- Identify verification gaps early and ensure robust signoff criteria before release.
What You’ll Need
- BS or BE in Electrical or Electronics Engineering with 8 or more years of IP or SoC verification experience, or MS with 6 or more years.
- Demonstrated ownership of verification for complex IP blocks, subsystems, or cross-project methodologies.
- Ability to lead verification teams and projects through technical influence and collaboration.
- Deep hands-on expertise in UVM, VMM, or OVM methodologies at unit and system levels.
- Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog, VCS or similar industry-standard simulators, and associated debug tools.
