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. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You Are You have spent years building and validating semiconductor libraries that have to work in production, not just pass a test suite. You know that a library view delivered without proper power modeling or incomplete validation creates a cascade of problems for design teams three months later, and you are the kind of engineer who catches those gaps before they ship. You think in terms of flows, not just files. When you see a library deliverable, you are already mapping the characterization chain, the build dependencies, the APL model generation steps, and the release checkpoints that need to happen for it to land correctly. Debugging does not intimidate you. Whether it is a SPIPROF model mismatch, a CDEV extraction issue, or a release flow that broke overnight, you dig in, trace the root cause, and fix it with clarity. You automate the repetitive parts because you have better things to do than run the same validation script manually for the tenth time. Python and Shell are tools you reach for without thinking, and you have built enough automation to know what makes a script maintainable versus what makes it a liability six months later. At Synopsys, you will work on libraries and power models that enable real chips to tape out. The work is technical, the standards are high, and what you validate matters. What You'll Be Doing
