At Synopsys, you will lead a team that builds the memory IP behind the semiconductors powering AI, automotive, and mobile products worldwide.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead a team of memory design engineers developing SRAM, Register File, TCAM, and ROM architectures and circuit implementations for advanced process nodes including FinFET
Own the full memory design flow from bit cell analysis and architecture through schematic entry, simulation, layout planning, characterization, verification, and model generation
Drive low-power, area-efficient embedded memory circuit design and supervise layout activities, interfacing directly with CAD teams on verification and compiler automation
Manage project timelines, prioritize tasks across multiple concurrent projects, and resolve technical and scheduling issues proactively to ensure on-time delivery
Build and maintain relationships with cross-functional teams including characterization, verification, and customer-facing engineering to align on deliverables and resolve escalations
Apply and expand expertise in memory compiler development, transistor-level circuit design, and variation-aware design techniques for deep submicron technologies
Mentor engineers, facilitate technical problem-solving, and foster collaboration across multi-site teams in Hyderabad and globally
The Impact You Will Have
Deliver embedded memory IP that powers leading-edge semiconductor products across AI, automotive, mobile, and high-performance computing markets
Enable Synopsys customers to meet aggressive area, power, and performance targets by providing robust, scalable memory solutions that work in silicon
Reduce time-to-market for memory compiler releases by streamlining design flows, improving automation, and catching issues earlier in the development cycle
Strengthen Synopsys reputation as a trusted memory IP partner by resolving customer escalations quickly and delivering high-quality timing and power models
Build a high-performing team culture where engineers grow technically, take ownership, and consistently deliver complex projects on schedule
Drive process improvements that increase team productivity, reduce characterization cycles, and improve compiler quality metrics
Shape the technical direction of embedded memory IP development at Synopsys by contributing expertise in advanced node challenges and circuit innovation
What You'll Need
BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech/MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from a recognized university
20+ years of hands-on experience in embedded memory design including SRAM, Register File, TCAM, and ROM architecture and circuit implementation
Deep expertise across the full memory design flow: architecture, schematic design, layout planning, characterization, timing analysis, and model generation
Proven experience leading and managing engineering teams, delivering complex projects on schedule, and resolving technical and project issues across multiple priorities
Strong proficiency in transistor-level circuit design for deep submicron and FinFET technologies, including variation-aware design techniques
Mastery of Perl and Python for design automation and scripting
Experience with memory compiler development and automation is a strong plus
Who You Are
You can walk into a schematic review, spot a leakage path or timing violation in minutes, and explain the fix in a way that helps the engineer learn, not just comply
When a project is slipping, you do not wait for the weekly status meeting, you pull the team together, identify the real blocker, and adjust the plan that day
You know how to say no to a customer request that will derail the schedule without burning the relationship, and you can explain the tradeoff in terms they actually care about
Debugging a characterization mismatch across process corners does not frustrate you, it engages you, because you know the answer is in the data and you will find it
You build trust by doing what you say you will do, owning mistakes when they happen, and giving your team credit when things go right
You are comfortable working across time zones and geographies, and you adapt your communication style to make sure nothing gets lost in translation
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will lead a team within the Embedded Memory and Logic group at Synopsys, part of the Solutions Group. This team is responsible for developing standard and custom embedded SRAMs, ROMs, and TCAMs, delivering both functional and physical memory views through advanced memory compilers. The team covers the full spectrum of memory IP development, from bit cell analysis and architecture design to characterization, verification, and model generation. Your team will work closely with CAD, verification, and customer-facing engineering teams across Synopsys global sites to deliver memory IP that enables the design of complex integrated circuits for leading-edge semiconductor products.
