I korthet
Synopsys is seeking an experienced SoC Verification Technical Lead to guide verification execution for customer projects in AI, automotive, and high-performance computing. This role involves leading a team of 3-4 engineers, developing comprehensive verification plans, and debugging complex multi-domain issues using industry-standard protocols and Synopsys tools. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience and strong leadership skills.
Ansvarsområden
- Lead verification execution for customer SoC, subsystem, and IP projects, from verification planning through signoff, working directly with customer engineering teams to define scope and deliverables
- Lead verification teams of 3-4 engineers, assigning tasks, reviewing testbenches and coverage reports, and mentoring engineers through complex debug scenarios
- Develop verification plans that map customer requirements to testbench architecture, coverage goals, and resource allocation, then track execution and adjust as designs evolve
- Integrate and deploy Synopsys VCS, Verdi, and third-party VIP for protocols like PCIe, Ethernet, USB, and DDR into customer verification environments
- Debug complex multi-protocol and multi-domain SoC issues using waveform analysis, coverage analysis, and cross-functional collaboration with design, architecture, and post-silicon teams
- Identify project risks early, propose mitigation strategies, and communicate status and blockers to Synopsys management and customer stakeholders
- Drive methodology improvements across the SSG verification team, whether that is UVM reuse strategies, regression optimization, or new tool adoption
Krav
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 5+ years of hands-on SoC, subsystem, or IP verification experience
- Deep technical expertise in UVM testbench development, coverage analysis, verification planning, and complex multi-domain debug
- Proven experience leading verification teams through full project cycles, including resource planning, task assignment, and delivery against customer schedules
- Strong working knowledge of industry-standard protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, or DDR, and how they interact in real SoC architectures
- Hands-on proficiency with Synopsys VCS, Verdi or equivalent waveform analysis tools, and integration of third-party VIP into verification environments
- Experience with ARM-based technologies including Coresight debug infrastructure, processor architecture, or AMBA protocols is a strong plus
- Solid understanding of ASIC design flows, RTL design concepts, and how verification fits into the broader chip development process
Önskade kvalifikationer
- You can walk into a customer meeting, hear a high-level SoC architecture description, and walk out with a verification plan that identifies the three highest-risk areas before anyone else in the room sees them
- When a regression fails at 3am and your team is stuck, you can look at the waveform, the coverage report, and the testbench code and know within 15 minutes whether it is a real bug or a testbench issue
- You give feedback that makes engineers better, not just feedback that makes you feel heard, and your team knows the difference
- You do not let a project drift. If a customer requirement is vague or a timeline is unrealistic, you say so early and propose a path forward that actually works
- You can explain a complex protocol violation to a customer architect, a verification coverage gap to your manager, and a UVM sequence bug to a junior engineer, and all three conversations will be clear and useful
- You stay current on verification methodology and tooling not because it is required but because you care about doing this work well, and you bring that knowledge back to your team
Förmåner
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.
- In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs.
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more.
