In short

Synopsys is looking for a Senior Manager of SoC Verification to lead a team of 7-8 engineers in Bengaluru, India. The ideal candidate has over a decade of experience in SoC verification, team management, and customer engagements, with expertise in UVM, VCS, and Verdi. This role involves scoping projects, mentoring engineers, and driving verification methodology improvements for customers in AI, automotive, and aerospace industries.

Responsibilities

Lead and manage a team of 7-8 SoC and subsystem verification engineers working on customer engagements across automotive, aerospace, defense, and high-performance computing domains
Work directly with Synopsys customers to scope verification activities, define deliverables, and translate their technical challenges into actionable verification plans
Assess project complexity and resource needs, then propose staffing and timeline plans that actually hold up under execution pressure
Mentor engineers daily on verification methodology, debug strategies, coverage closure, and customer communication, growing their technical depth for future assignments
Review testbench code, verification plans, coverage reports, and waveform analysis to provide feedback that improves quality before deliverables go to the customer
Report project status to senior management, flag risks early, and work through execution issues with peers and stakeholders across SSG, sales, and business unit application engineering teams
Drive adoption of Synopsys verification tools including VCS, Verdi, and Synopsys VIP within customer projects, and collaborate with internal teams to refine methodology and improve efficiency

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering or related field with 12+ years of hands-on experience in SoC verification
Deep technical expertise across pre-silicon verification including UVM testbench development, coverage analysis, verification planning, and complex debug using waveform tools
Strong working knowledge of industry-standard protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, and familiarity with processor, interconnect, or debug architectures
Proven hands-on experience with VCS, Verdi or similar waveform analyzers, and integration of third-party VIP including Synopsys VIP
Demonstrated ability to lead verification teams through complex SoC, subsystem, or IP verification projects from planning through delivery
Experience managing verification scope, timelines, and resources for customer-facing projects or service engagements is a strong plus
Solid understanding of ASIC design flows, RTL design concepts, and how verification fits into the broader chip development lifecycle

Desired Qualifications

You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a vague request for "verification support," and walk out with a concrete scope, timeline, and resource plan that your team can actually execute
You review a coverage report or testbench and immediately spot what is missing, not just technically but strategically, and you explain it in a way that helps the engineer see it too
You manage multiple projects without losing track of details, and your team knows you will catch issues before they escalate to the customer or senior management
You push back when a customer asks for something unrealistic or when internal stakeholders propose a plan that will not work, and you do it in a way that keeps the relationship intact
You communicate clearly with engineers, customers, and executives, adjusting your level of detail depending on who is in the room without oversimplifying or overcomplicating
You treat mentoring as part of the job, not an extra task, and engineers on your team get better at verification because you invest time in their growth

Benefits

ETO and FTO Programs
Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back
