# Apprentice (Technical-Engineer) **Company**: Synopsys **Location**: Bengaluru, Karnataka **Work arrangement**: onsite **Experience**: entry **Job type**: internship **Category**: Engineering **Industry**: Technology **Ticker**: SNPS **Wikidata**: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2303478 **Apply**: https://careers.synopsys.com/job/bengaluru/apprentice-technical-engineer/44408/102584673248?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/jobs/job_68ac1cbd-bc0 ## Description Our internship programs offer real-world projects, hands-on experience, and opportunities to collaborate with teams globally. You are someone who wants to learn how semiconductor design works, not from slides or theory, but by running real simulations on real circuits that will ship in real products. **What You'll Be Doing** - Run transistor-level simulations on digital standard cells using industry-standard circuit simulators to extract timing, power, and leakage data across PVT corners - Analyze CMOS circuit behavior at the transistor level, reviewing schematics, debugging simulation failures, and identifying issues in logic implementation or device models - Support characterization and validation of standard cell libraries by running automated flows, reviewing results, and flagging anomalies or quality issues - Document simulation results, technical findings, and circuit-level observations in clear, structured reports that senior engineers can act on - Collaborate with library development engineers to improve characterization methodologies, refine automation scripts, and close gaps in coverage or accuracy - Learn and apply concepts from Liberty (.lib) format, Static Timing Analysis, and low-power design as you work through real library development cycles - Participate in technical reviews and team discussions to understand how characterization fits into the broader semiconductor design and IP development process **The Impact You Will Have** - You will contribute to production-quality standard cell libraries that power chip designs across automotive, mobile, AI, and data center applications - Your simulations and analysis will help catch timing, power, or functional issues before they reach customers, protecting design schedules and silicon success - The characterization data you generate will support SoC designers as they meet performance, power, and area targets - Your debugging work will surface circuit-level insights that improve library quality and inform next-generation design decisions - You will help build and refine automation flows that make characterization faster, more accurate, and more scalable across technology nodes - The documentation and analysis you create will enable senior engineers to make data-driven decisions about library tradeoffs and optimization strategies - You will develop a strong foundation in semiconductor characterization and EDA tools that prepares you for the next stage of your engineering career **What You'll Need** - B.E. or B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, Microelectronics, or a related field - 0 to 2 years of experience, fresh graduates are eligible and encouraged to apply - Strong understanding of CMOS fundamentals including MOSFET operation, inverter characteristics, static and dynamic logic, noise margins, delay, power dissipation, and leakage mechanisms - Solid knowledge of digital logic design including combinational and sequential circuits, Boolean algebra, flip-flops, latches, and timing concepts like setup, hold, recovery, and removal - Familiarity with at least one circuit simulator such as PrimeSim, FineSim, and the ability to read and debug transistor-level schematics - Comfort working in Linux or Unix environments, basic scripting knowledge in Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell is a plus - Exposure to standard cell libraries, Liberty format, or Static Timing Analysis concepts is a plus **Rewards and Benefits** We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. ## Skills ### Required - CMOS fundamentals - digital logic design - circuit simulators - Linux or Unix environments - scripting knowledge ### Nice to have - standard cell libraries - Liberty format - Static Timing Analysis concepts --- Source: [Apply at careers.synopsys.com](https://careers.synopsys.com/job/bengaluru/apprentice-technical-engineer/44408/102584673248?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
