I korthet

Synopsys is seeking a Principal Engineer to drive innovations in Electronic Design Automation (EDA), focusing on static timing analysis (STA) and the PrimeTime platform. This role involves architecting complex systems, leading next-generation algorithm design, and mentoring teams to ensure industry-leading solutions for advanced silicon designs. Ideal candidates possess a Master's or PhD, 10+ years of experience in EDA or system software, and expert-level C++ proficiency. You will shape the architectural direction of critical tools, resolve complex technical challenges, and influence the future of silicon innovation.

Ansvarsområden

  • Own and evolve major architectural components of PrimeTime, including timing engines, path search frameworks, constraint modeling, and distributed/parallel analysis flows.
  • Define long-term technical strategy for accuracy, capacity, runtime, and extensibility in static timing analysis, collaborating closely with senior R&D leadership.
  • Drive architectural consistency across PrimeTime, Fusion Compiler integration points, and broader sign-off ecosystems.
  • Lead the design and implementation of next-generation STA algorithms addressing multi-billion-cell designs, advanced timing effects, and non-linear behaviors.
  • Resolve cross-cutting technical issues and make principled tradeoffs between accuracy, performance, memory footprint, and usability at sign-off.
  • Act as the go-to technical authority for customer escalations, sign-off discrepancies, and complex architectural challenges.
  • Diagnose systemic issues involving SDC interpretation, timing convergence, path pessimism/optimism, and tool correlations across flows.
  • Mentor and influence engineers through technical reviews, discussions, and leadership, raising the technical bar across the organization.

Krav

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent demonstrated industry expertise.
  • 10 years + of experience in EDA, system software, or similarly demanding technical domains.
  • Deep hands-on experience with STA or closely related timing/circuit analysis technologies.
  • Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ within large, performance-critical codebases.
  • Proven track record of architecting complex systems and defining multi-year technical initiatives.
  • Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical analysis applied at scale.
  • Ability to independently define, justify, and drive technical strategy and architectural decisions.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Experience with PrimeTime, distributed computing, parallel STA, memory-scalable design, and advanced-node design challenges.

Förmåner

  • Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.
  • ETO and FTO Programs for time away.
  • Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance.
  • ESPP to purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24-month look-back.
  • Retirement plans that vary by region and country.
  • Competitive salaries.
  • Annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses.
  • Comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits as part of a competitive total rewards package.
