## Description

Synopsys software engineers are key enablers in the world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), developing and maintaining software used in chip design, verification and manufacturing. They work on assignments like designing, developing, and troubleshooting software, leveraging the state-of-the-art technologies like AI/ML, GenAI and Cloud. Their critical contributions enable world-wide EDA designers to extend the frontiers of semiconductors and chip development.

You have spent years in semiconductor IP design and development, and somewhere along the way you realized that the hardest problems are not always the technical ones. They are the ones where a requirement gets lost between teams, where a process breaks down under scale, or where quality becomes a checkbox instead of a discipline. You care about building systems that help engineers do their best work, not just policing what they deliver. Auditing does not scare you. Whether you have done it formally or not, you know how to look at a process, ask the right questions, and figure out where the gaps are. You bring a mindset of continuous improvement, not compliance for compliance's sake. At Synopsys, you will work with a global team that takes quality seriously because the IP we deliver powers the chips that run the world.

**Responsibilities**

- Support and strengthen the IPG Quality Management System aligned with ISO 9001, with a focus on Cybersecurity audits across global R&D teams

- Support the expansion and adoption of Jama Connect for requirements management, working directly with engineering teams to ensure effective usage and integration into their workflows

- Drive automation and workflow improvements that make quality processes more efficient, scalable, and less manual for distributed engineering teams

- Interface with R&D, Product Development, Methodology, and Applications Engineering to ensure quality requirements are clearly understood, applied, and traceable throughout the product lifecycle

- Conduct and support quality audits that identify process gaps, drive corrective actions, and contribute to continuous improvement across IP development.

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Strengthen the quality foundation that ensures Synopsys IP meets the rigorous standards our customers depend on for safety-critical and high-reliability applications

- Enable engineering teams to move faster and with more confidence by embedding requirements traceability and risk management into their daily workflows

- Reduce late-stage defects and rework by catching gaps in requirements, configuration, and change management earlier in the development cycle

- Drive adoption of tools and practices that make quality a natural part of how teams work, not an afterthought or bottleneck

- Contribute to Cybersecurity and Functional Safety readiness, helping Synopsys meet emerging industry standards like ISO 21434 and ISO 26262

- Build a culture of continuous improvement where quality is owned by everyone, not just the quality team.

**Requirements**

- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, systems engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or related field

- 8+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor design and development environments, including familiarity with the tools, systems, and workflows that R&D teams use daily

- Demonstrated experience working with a Quality Management System such as ISO 9001 or equivalent, with an understanding of how quality frameworks apply to hardware and software development

- Solid grounding in requirements-driven development, configuration management, change management, and risk management practices

- Hands-on experience with requirements management tools, Jama Connect is preferred, but experience with IBM DOORS or similar platforms is relevant

- High proficiency in English and experience working effectively across multiple global sites and distributed teams

**Benefits**

- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family

- Time away: In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs

- Family Support: Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more

- ESPP: Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back

- Retirement Plans: Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country

- Competitive salaries
