R&D Engineer, IP Quality

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.

You are someone who gets a quiet satisfaction from finding the bug no one else caught, from writing a script that saves the team three hours a week, from seeing a pattern in test data that points to something fixable.

What You'll Be Doing

• Coordinate kickoff and release meetings with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance and process alignment throughout development and verification.
• Run regression test suites on Embedded Memory IP releases and track results across validation cycles.
• Analyze test data to surface trends, flag anomalies, and identify root causes of failures or quality gaps.
• Write and maintain Python and Tcl automation scripts that streamline testing, reporting, and compliance workflows.
• Document test outcomes, process gaps, and improvement recommendations in clear, actionable formats.
• Support the team in refining Quality Management System processes based on real-world validation feedback.

The Impact You Will Have

• Deliver zero-defect Embedded Memory IP to customers by catching issues before they reach production.
• Enable faster, more reliable releases through automation that reduces manual testing overhead.
• Surface data-driven insights that help engineering teams make better decisions about where to focus next.
• Strengthen the Quality Management System so every release cycle is more efficient than the last.
• Support the development of IP on advanced technology nodes that power AI, mobile, and smart device applications.
• Build a foundation of quality practices that scale as the product portfolio grows.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 0 to 2 years of experience in validation, testing, quality assurance, or a related engineering role.
• Working knowledge of Python or Tcl for scripting and automation.
• Ability to analyze data, identify patterns, and communicate findings clearly.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, you notice when something is off and you dig into why.
