Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled engineer with a strong background in system-on-chip (SOC) architecture and development.

With significant experience in advanced nodes and complex SOC projects, you excel at translating technical requirements into innovative, robust solutions.

You are comfortable navigating all stages of SOC design—from architecture and RTL development through to tapeout and post-silicon validation.

Your technical expertise is matched by your collaborative spirit, allowing you to work effectively within cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers.

You’re adept at engaging directly with customers, understanding their needs, and delivering tailored solutions that drive their success.

Responsibilities

• Lead SOC development projects from architectural definition through post-silicon validation and customer delivery.

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams, supporting micro-architecture and RTL development.

• Collaborate directly with customers to address their specific requirements and deliver tailored solutions.

• Manage key stages of SOC development, including design verification, DFT, physical design, and tapeout management.

• Work closely with partners on software, firmware, and packaging to ensure seamless integration of solutions.

• Participate in occasional travel and on-site engagements at customer premises to support project execution.

Impact

• Drive the successful delivery of advanced SOC projects across automotive, aerospace, and high-performance computing sectors.

• Enhance Synopsys’ reputation as an industry leader in SOC design and innovation.

• Mentor and support engineering talent, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.

• Increase customer satisfaction by providing high-quality, high-performance SOC solutions.

• Contribute to successful tapeouts and product launches, expanding Synopsys’ impact in the semiconductor industry.

• Shape the development of smart, connected devices through your technical expertise and collaborative approach.

Requirements

• BSEE, MSEE, or Ph.D. in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering.

• At least 8 years of experience in SOC-level architecture and RTL development.

• Strong proficiency in SOC system architecture, micro-architecture, RTL development, design verification, DFT, and tapeout management.

• Solid understanding of high-performance computing architectures for mobile, data center, automotive, and edge computing SOCs.

• Experience with interconnect options (Arteris NOC, AMBA AXI, CXL, etc.) and SOC standard interfaces (PCIe, DDR, HBM, MIPI CSI/DSI, SPI, I2C).

• Implementation knowledge of CPU architectures (RISCV, ARC, X86, ARM).

• Hands-on experience with workflow tools (git, gitlab, github)

• Ability to travel and work on-site as needed; eligibility for government security clearances is a plus.

Team

You will join the System Solutions team, a group of passionate engineers dedicated to enabling customers with end-to-end SOC designs in advanced technologies.

The team delivers comprehensive tool flows, develops innovative design methodologies, and provides customer-specific assistance.

Our collaborative environment encourages continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence, supporting customers from start-ups to industry leaders across a wide range of applications.

Rewards and Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs.

Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.

Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
