Description
Job Title: Senior Manager - SoC Verification
Overview
You will lead and manage a team of 7-8 SoC and subsystem verification engineers working on customer engagements across automotive, aerospace, defense, and high-performance computing domains.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage a team of SoC and subsystem verification engineers
- Work directly with Synopsys customers to scope verification activities, define deliverables, and translate their technical challenges into actionable verification plans
- Assess project complexity and resource needs, then propose staffing and timeline plans
- Mentor engineers daily on verification methodology, debug strategies, coverage closure, and customer communication
- Review testbench code, verification plans, coverage reports, and waveform analysis to provide feedback
- Report project status to senior management, flag risks early, and work through execution issues with peers and stakeholders
- Drive adoption of Synopsys verification tools including VCS, Verdi, and Synopsys VIP within customer projects
The Impact You Will Have
- Deliver verification solutions that enable customers to tape out complex SoCs on schedule
- Grow engineers you mentor into technical leads and customer-facing verification experts
- Determine whether customer engagements stay on track or slip, affecting customer satisfaction and revenue
- Drive verification methodology improvements that compound efficiency gains across the Systems Solutions Group
- Shape how Synopsys tools and IP get deployed in real-world SoC projects
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering or related field with 12+ years of hands-on experience in SoC verification
- Deep technical expertise across pre-silicon verification including UVM testbench development, coverage analysis, and complex debug using waveform tools
- Strong working knowledge of industry-standard protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR
- Proven hands-on experience with VCS, Verdi or similar waveform analyzers, and integration of third-party VIP including Synopsys VIP
- Demonstrated ability to lead verification teams through complex SoC, subsystem, or IP verification projects from planning through delivery
Who You Are
- Can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a vague request for "verification support," and walk out with a concrete scope, timeline, and resource plan
- Review a coverage report or testbench and immediately spot what is missing, and explain it in a way that helps the engineer see it too
- Manage multiple projects without losing track of details, and catch issues before they escalate to the customer or senior management
- Push back when a customer asks for something unrealistic or when internal stakeholders propose a plan that will not work
- Communicate clearly with engineers, customers, and executives, adjusting your level of detail depending on who is in the room
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
- Time away programs including ETO and FTO
