We Are:
At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.
You Are:
A creative and accomplished software engineer with deep expertise in C/C++ development and a solid grasp of software architecture. With at least seven years of professional experience—ideally in the EDA tool development —and a degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, you are adept at solving complex technical challenges. Analytical thinking, strong problem-solving skills, and familiarity with Linux environments are among your core strengths. Comfortable collaborating with diverse, international teams, you thrive in fast-paced, innovative settings and are motivated by delivering robust, scalable solutions that advance next-generation computing systems.
What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Contribute to the design, development, and validation of the complex software that drives ZeBu emulation and prototyping products.
  • Oversee software projects from specification to internal delivery, then documentation and support.
  • Challenge yourself and others for delivering the best products performance, while staying focused on the end-user experience.
  • Align with the company processes for delivering quality software in a timely manner.
  • Work on R&D projects involving different hardware, firmware and software teams, some based locally as well as some located in Europe, India, and North America.
What You’ll Need:
  • At least 7 years of professional experience in software development.
  • MS or PhD, in Computer Science or Computer Engineering 
  • Knowledge of EDA domain or experience in EDA tool development

  • Proficient C/C++ programming skills, including object-oriented design.
  • Sound data structures and algorithms understanding, specifically graph algorithms 
  • Solid analysis and problem-solving.
  • Experienced in Linux based environment (shell, makefile).
  • Ability to manage several tasks autonomously and address projects with schedule constraints.
  • Knowledge of Boolean Logic and Combinational Circuit
  • Exposure to Timing OR Clock Algorithms would be an advantage, but is not essential
Nice to have knowledge or experience:
  • Experience with development and troubleshooting of multi-threaded/process software.
  • Experience with debug and profiling (Gdb, Collect, Vtune, or any equivalent tool).
  • Scripting languages (Bash, Tcl, Python, Perl).
The Impact You Will Have:
