What You'll Be Doing
Own verification for a major IP block, subsystem, or cross-IP methodology from architecture definition through final signoff and customer delivery
Define verification strategy, planning, architecture, and signoff criteria for complex IP projects including Ethernet, USB, and similar industry-standard protocols
Lead technical execution across verification teams by setting objectives, tracking milestones, managing risk, and driving coverage and quality closure
Apply AI-assisted verification techniques to intelligent debug, regression analytics, test generation, and coverage closure to measurably reduce cycle time and improve defect detection
Build and drive reusable verification infrastructure, UVM environments, and methodology improvements that scale across multiple IP domains and projects
Mentor verification engineers on test planning, debug strategies, coverage analysis, and verification best practices while fostering technical growth across the team
Collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, and quality teams to align verification deliverables with project goals and ensure high-quality IP releases
The Impact You Will Have
Deliver thoroughly verified, customer-ready DesignWare IP that reduces integration risk and increases confidence for silicon teams building next-generation products
Drive measurable improvements in verification efficiency including faster coverage closure, shorter regression cycles, reduced debug time, and fewer escaped defects
Advance verification methodologies and reusable infrastructure that improve execution quality and delivery predictability across IP projects
Strengthen the technical capability of the verification organization by mentoring engineers and establishing best practices that scale
Reduce project risk by identifying verification gaps early, optimizing processes, and ensuring robust signoff criteria are met before release
Enable Synopsys to maintain leadership in IP quality and reliability during the era of pervasive intelligence and AI-powered silicon design
Contribute to the success of customers who depend on Synopsys IP to power critical functions in their chips, from data centers to automotive to mobile devices
What You'll Need
BS or BE in Electrical or Electronics Engineering with 8+ years of IP or SoC verification experience, or MS with 6+ years
Demonstrated ownership of verification for complex IP blocks, subsystems, or cross-project methodologies with a track record of delivering measurable quality and coverage results
Proven ability to lead verification teams and projects through technical influence, expertise, and collaboration rather than formal management authority
Deep hands-on expertise in UVM, VMM, or OVM methodologies applied to real verification environments at unit and system levels
Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog, industry-standard simulators like VCS, and associated debug tools used in complex IP verification workflows
Practical experience applying AI-assisted methods to debug, regression optimization, test generation, or verification closure activities
Experience with DesignWare IP or similar synthesizable IP verification, and familiarity with protocols such as Ethernet, USB, or PCI Express is a strong plus
Who You Are
You lead through expertise and influence, not authority, and engineers follow your technical direction because they trust your judgment and your ability to solve hard problems
You own complex verification areas end to end, from defining strategy and architecture through executing the plan, managing risks, and driving signoff without needing constant oversight
You can explain a verification bottleneck, a coverage gap, or a project risk to a design lead or program manager in two sentences without losing the technical nuance that matters
You combine strategic thinking with attention to detail, knowing when to zoom out to assess methodology and when to dive into a waveform to find the root cause
You mentor engineers by sharing not just what to do but how to think about verification problems, coverage strategies, and trade-offs in a way that builds their capability over time
You adapt quickly in evolving project environments, shifting priorities, and ambiguous requirements, and you help the team stay focused on what actually moves the needle toward delivery
