Job description

Job Description and Requirements Senior Staff Interface IP Verification Engineer (Pre-Silicon- PCIe/CXL/DDR/Ethernet) 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 have spent years verifying silicon that ships into data centers, AI accelerators, and high-performance systems where failure is not an option. The protocols you verify, PCIe, CXL, DDR, Ethernet, are not abstract specs to you. They are living, breathing systems with corner cases that only reveal themselves at 3 a.m. during a regression run, and you are the engineer who finds them before tape-out.You think in layers. You can debug a failing assertion in the UVM environment, trace it back to an RTL timing issue, and then connect it to a protocol compliance gap, all without losing the thread of what actually broke. When someone says "coverage is at 95%," you ask which 5% is missing and whether it matters.You do not wait for perfect documentation. Specs are incomplete, architectures evolve, and you have learned to work with what you have, ask the right questions, and build verification environments that adapt as the design matures. You have strong opinions on what makes a testbench reusable versus one that becomes technical debt, and you are not afraid to push back when a verification strategy does not account for real-world integration scenarios.At Synopsys, you will verify Interface IP that powers the semiconductor industry's most critical applications, and the team you work with will expect you to lead, not just execute.What You'll Be DoingOwn end-to-end verification of Interface IP blocks including PCIe, CXL, DDR, and Ethernet, from architecture review through silicon signoffBuild and evolve UVM-based verification environments that are reusable across product lines and scalable for future protocol generationsDefine verification strategies and test plans that account for protocol compliance, performance corner cases, and system-level integration scenariosDevelop constrained-random, coverage-driven test scenarios using SystemVerilog and UVM, targeting functional coverage closure and signoff qualityDebug complex multi-layer issues spanning RTL logic, protocol state machines, timing, and testbench infrastructure using VCS or equivalent simulatorsCollaborate with architecture, design, firmware, and systems teams to identify and resolve issues early in the development cycleMentor verification engineers on UVM methodology, coverage analysis, debugging techniques, and verification best practicesThe Impact You Will HaveYour verification work will directly determine the quality and reliability of IP integrated into AI platforms, cloud infrastructure, and automotive systems used globallyThe testbenches and verification IP you build will be reused across multiple product generations, multiplying your impact across the organizationYour coverage strategies and signoff criteria will set the standard for verification quality across the Interface IP portfolioThe protocol bugs you catch pre-silicon will prevent costly respins and delays for customers building next-generation SoCsYour technical leadership will shape verification methodology improvements that raise the bar for the entire engineering teamThe mentorship you provide will accelerate the growth of engineers who will carry forward the verification practices you help establishYour collaboration with architecture and design teams will influence early design decisions that make verification more efficient and products more robustWhat You'll NeedBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with 8+ years of hands-on ASIC or SoC verification experienceDeep expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology, with a track record of building scalable verification environments from the ground upStrong protocol knowledge in at least one of PCIe, CXL, DDR, or Ethernet, with the ability to read specs and translate them into verification requirementsProven experience developing constrained-random and coverage-driven verification solutions that achieve functional signoffSolid debugging skills across RTL, verification infrastructure, and protocol compliance, with experience using industry-standard simulators like VCS or ModelSimExperience with verification IP development, assertion-based verification, or formal methods is a strong plusKnowledge of modern SoC architectures and high-speed communication interfaces is a plusWho You AreYou can walk into a spec review, identify the verification-critical corner cases that are not explicitly called out, and build a test plan that covers themWhen a regression fails at 2 a.m. before a milestone, you are the engineer who triages the root cause, determines if it is a real bug or a testbench issue, and has a fix ready by morning standupYou know the difference between coverage that looks good on a dashboard and coverage that actually means the design is verified, and you are willing to have the hard conversation when the two do not alignYou can explain a complex protocol violation to a design engineer in a way that makes the fix obvious, and then turn around and present the same issue to an architect in terms of system-level impactYou are comfortable leading technical discussions with senior engineers and architects, even when your point of view challenges the current planYou see mentorship as part of the job, not an extra task, and you make time to help less experienced engineers understand not just what to do, but why it mattersThe Team You'll Be Part OfYou will join a team of highly skilled verification engineers responsible for developing and verifying industry-leading Interface IP solutions. Working alongside experts in architecture, design, and verification, you will tackle some of the semiconductor industry's most challenging technical problems while contributing to products deployed worldwide.
