Synopsys

We Are

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services.

You Are

You are an experienced C++ engineer who builds scalable, maintainable software for production environments. You bring a strong understanding of semiconductor fundamentals, including gate-level and transistor-level concepts, power delivery networks, and power integrity challenges. You work independently, take ownership once work is scoped, and focus on delivering reliable code, strong test coverage, and solid performance. At Synopsys, you will work on RedHawk-SC, a distributed analytics platform that helps engineers solve power and reliability challenges in advanced SoC designs.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, develop, and own significant features in RedHawk-SC, a distributed power and reliability analysis platform for advanced SoC designs
• Drive medium-sized projects with limited oversight, from design through implementation, testing, and delivery
• Optimize runtime performance and memory efficiency so the platform scales across large, complex datasets
• Diagnose and resolve complex defects in C++ on Linux systems with a focus on quality and maintainability
• Build and strengthen unit, regression, and system-level test coverage
• Collaborate with technical leads, architects, and engineers to refine designs and integrate solutions
• Support the team through code reviews, design discussions, and technical collaboration

The Impact You Will Have

• Deliver software that helps semiconductor companies solve power integrity and reliability challenges in advanced chips
• Improve the performance, scale, and quality of RedHawk-SC for engineers working on complex SoC designs
• Build features that address customer needs in FinFET, 3D-IC, and stacked-die architectures
• Raise the quality bar through strong engineering practices and disciplined testing
• Contribute to the technical strength of the team through consistent delivery and sound judgment

What You'll Need

• BSEE, BSCS, or related field with 8+ years of experience, or Master's with 6+ years, or PhD with relevant experience
• Strong C++ development skills, including debugging, performance optimization, and memory management
• Strong experience working in Linux development environments
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and debugging complex software systems
• Understanding of electronic design at gate or transistor level, including power delivery networks, timing, or physical design
• Experience developing software for performance, scale, and reliability
• Experience with distributed systems, Python, or ASIC power delivery network simulation is a plus

Who You Are

• You take ownership of technical work and move it forward with limited oversight
• You write production-quality code that other engineers can read, maintain, and extend
• You communicate technical issues and tradeoffs clearly
• You contribute well in cross-functional engineering discussions and design reviews
• You are a strong collaborator and a dependable technical partner

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the RedHawk-SC Research and Development team, building state-of-the-art software for semiconductor power and reliability analysis. The platform uses distributed big-data analytics to tackle challenges in advanced SoC design, including electromigration, thermal effects, and power noise integrity in FinFET, 3D-IC, and stacked-die architectures.
