  • Enhance collaboration between engineering disciplines, driving innovation and problem solving.
  • Contribute to Synopsys’ reputation for delivering world-class hardware solutions in the global market.

What You’ll Need:

  • Proven experience leading hardware verification projects (SoC, IP, FPGA, or HW systems).
  • Comprehensive knowledge of the full verification lifecycle, including requirements collection, verification planning, testbench development, and documentation.
  • Strong expertise in writing and executing verification specifications and test plans.
  • Hands-on experience with physical hardware and a solid understanding of FPGA technologies.
  • Proficiency in modern verification languages, tools, and methodologies (e.g. SystemVerilog, UVM, simulation, emulation).

Who You Are:

  • Exceptional communicator who can articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Collaborative team builder with a strong focus on mentorship and talent development.
  • Analytical thinker with a strategic mindset and attention to detail.
  • Adaptable leader, able to navigate change and ambiguity with confidence.
  • Proactive problem solver with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You’ll join the Synopsys HAV HW Verification team in Cairo, working alongside talented engineers in architecture, PCB design, RTL, firmware, and modelling. The team is united by a shared mission to deliver industry-leading FPGA-based prototyping and emulation systems, leveraging the latest technologies and best practices. Collaboration, technical excellence, and a commitment to quality are at the heart of everything we do.
