## Description

## Overview

Synopsys software engineers play a crucial role in the world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), developing and maintaining software used in chip design, verification, and manufacturing.

## Job Description

### Job Details

- Date posted: 06/02/2026

- Category: Engineering

- Hire Type: Employee

- Job ID: 17520

- Remote Eligible: No

### What You'll Be Doing

- Design and develop RTL using Verilog and SystemVerilog for complex SoC and ASIC components that go into production silicon

- Integrate IP blocks at the SoC level, building the glue logic and subsystem architecture that makes everything actually work together

- Write SDC for synthesis, ensuring your constraints reflect the real timing intent and do not create downstream surprises

- Run and debug lint, CDC, and synthesis checks using tools like SpyGlass, Fusion Compiler, and Encounter, resolving issues before they become integration blockers

- Collaborate with verification, physical design, and architecture teams to close functional and structural issues across the design cycle

- Contribute to microarchitecture discussions and translate architectural intent into working RTL that meets performance, power, and area targets

- Mentor junior engineers on RTL quality, coding standards, and front-end design best practices when the opportunity arises

### The Impact You Will Have

- Your RTL integration work directly enables complex SoCs to move from architecture to physical implementation without costly respins

- The synthesis constraints you write determine whether the design meets timing on the first pass or requires weeks of iteration

- Your ability to debug CDC and lint issues early prevents verification and physical design teams from hitting walls later in the schedule

- The glue logic and subsystem designs you build become the connective tissue that makes multi-IP integration actually function

- Your technical guidance helps junior engineers avoid common pitfalls and build higher-quality RTL from the start

- The blocks you own and deliver on schedule keep entire project timelines on track

- Your collaboration across teams ensures that architectural intent, RTL implementation, and physical constraints stay aligned throughout the design cycle

### What You'll Need

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a minimum of 5 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree with 3 years of relevant experience

- Hands-on experience in RTL design and SoC or ASIC integration, with a track record of owning blocks through synthesis

- Strong proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog for production RTL development

- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, microarchitecture, and SoC integration challenges

- Experience running lint tools like SpyGlass or Leda, CDC analysis tools, and synthesis flows using Fusion Compiler or Encounter

- Ability to write SDC and debug synthesis issues in complex, multi-clock designs

- Ability to use AI tools (git hub copilot or others)

- Experience with high-speed interfaces like PCIe, USB, AXI, I2C, or JTAG is a strong plus, as is familiarity with low-power design techniques and scripting in Python, Tcl, or Perl

### Who You Are

- You can look at a 10,000-line RTL module and spot the structural issue that is going to cause a synthesis problem three steps downstream

- You do not wait for perfect specs. You read what is available, flag the gaps, and start building while the architecture team fills in the details

- When a CDC violation shows up in a report, you can quickly determine whether it is a real cross-domain hazard or a false positive from an overly conservative tool setting

- You communicate clearly with people who do not speak RTL. You can explain a clock domain crossing issue to a verification engineer or a constraint tradeoff to a physical design lead without losing the technical thread

- You take ownership. If a block is yours, you see it through lint, CDC, synthesis, and handoff, and you do not consider it done until the next team can actually use it

- You are comfortable mentoring others, not because you have all the answers, but because you know how to help someone work through a problem without just giving them the solution

### The Team You'll Be Part Of

Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.

### Rewards and Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
