## Description

Our Hardware Engineers at Synopsys are responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. They work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products. These engineers play a crucial role in advancing technology and enabling innovations in various industries.

You are an experienced and visionary ASIC digital design architect who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You bring a passion for solving complex system-level challenges and a track record of delivering innovative, high-quality silicon solutions. Your deep understanding of IP and SoC architectures enables you to see the big picture while meticulously refining subsystem details.

**What You’ll Be Doing:**

- Defining architectural specifications for complex subsystems (e.g., memory controllers, compute blocks, interconnect clusters, power management units, or communication subsystems).

- Translating system-level requirements into detailed subsystem architectures, optimizing for performance, bandwidth, latency, power, and reliability.

- Integrating multiple IP blocks into cohesive subsystems, ensuring seamless interoperability, dataflow alignment, and compliance with SoC-level constraints.

- Leading cross-functional collaboration with hardware, software, verification, and physical design teams to ensure subsystem feasibility and correctness.

- Establishing and guiding verification and validation strategies, including defining coverage requirements and participating in silicon bring-up and debug sessions.

- Producing comprehensive architecture documents, specifications, and guidelines, and clearly communicating architectural intent to a wide range of stakeholders.

- Mentoring and coaching engineers, driving best practices, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.

**The Impact You Will Have:**

- Shape the architecture of industry-leading silicon IP and subsystem solutions that power millions of devices worldwide.

- Accelerate time-to-market for differentiated products by ensuring robust and efficient subsystem design and integration.

- Reduce risk through rigorous requirements management, architectural clarity, and cross-functional alignment.

- Enhance product performance, power efficiency, and reliability, directly impacting customer satisfaction and competitive advantage.

- Foster innovation by mentoring teams, introducing new methodologies, and championing best practices.

- Strengthen Synopsys’ position as a trusted technology leader in the semiconductor ecosystem.

**What You’ll Need:**

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics or a related field, with 15+ years of industry experience.

- At least 10 years in semiconductor design, IP integration, or SoC/subsystem architecture roles.

- Deep expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog, simulation tools, and advanced verification methodologies (e.g., SV UVM, BFM development).

- Proficiency with industry-standard interface protocols (AMBA APB/AXI/CHI, DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, UFS, etc.).

- Experience with synthesis, lint, CDC, low-power flows, and achieving verification closure.

- Strong documentation and communication skills for effective cross-team alignment and requirements management.

**Rewards and Benefits**

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

- In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs.

- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more.

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

- Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country.

- Competitive salaries.
