Job description
Job Description and Requirements We AreSynopsys 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 AreYou are the kind of engineer who can walk into a room with a whiteboard and leave with a block diagram everyone trusts to become silicon. Years spent translating performance specs into transistor-level reality have made you as comfortable with SPICE. You spot design risks early and know how to weigh the tradeoffs between area, power, and cost without losing sight of what makes a design robust in production. You thrive on technical depth and know the satisfaction of seeing your blocks come up on first silicon. You mentor because you want the team to win, not just your project. You do not wait for someone to define the validation plan—you write it, run it, and fix what you find. Collaboration with layout, digital, validation, and product teams is where you turn good design into great silicon.
