I korthet
Synopsys is looking for a Sr. Principal Engineer with over 15 years of experience in emulation and IP verification, focusing on PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet protocols. This role involves defining technical requirements, driving cross-functional alignment, and mentoring engineers to ensure high-quality pre-silicon validation. The position is based on-site in Bengaluru, India.
Ansvarsområden
- Close the gap between Zebu emulation IP capabilities and what Design IP teams need to verify PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet controllers and PHYs across functional and performance domains
- Define technical requirements for emulation IP, working directly with IP development teams to ensure correct implementation, deployment, and integration into verification flows
- Track and report emulation IP quality metrics, identifying trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities that directly impact product schedules and silicon success
- Stay ahead of evolving PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet standards, translating specification updates, ECNs, and errata into actionable requirements for both emulation and design teams
- Review and validate test plans for emulation IP and design IP, ensuring coverage is complete, traceable, and aligned with real-world use cases and customer requirements
- Drive cross-functional alignment on verification methodology, standardizing workflows and best practices across global teams to improve efficiency and reduce rework
- Mentor engineers on emulation strategy, IP verification techniques, and how to think critically about coverage and quality in pre-silicon environments
Krav
- 15+ years of hands-on experience in emulation, IP verification, or ASIC digital design
- Deep expertise in PCIe and DDR protocols, including verification strategies, corner cases, and standards compliance
- Extensive experience with Zebu or similar emulation platforms, particularly for IP-level verification and system-level integration
- Proven track record leading or contributing to IP product development with a focus on emulation-based verification
- Strong ability to work across global, matrixed teams and drive alignment between emulation IP and design IP organizations
- Excellent communication skills, you can explain a complex tradeoff to a design lead in two sentences without losing the nuance
- Experience interpreting and applying industry standards updates, ECNs, and errata in real verification contexts is a strong plus
Önskade kvalifikationer
- You can walk into a test plan review, spot the missing corner case that everyone else missed, and explain why it matters in two sentences
- When something does not work in emulation, you do not wait for someone else to fix it. You dig in, reproduce it, and come back with a proposal
- You are comfortable saying 'this verification strategy will not catch that class of bugs' in a room full of senior engineers, and you can back it up with data
- Ambiguity does not slow you down. You ask the right questions, make reasonable assumptions, document them, and keep moving
- You have mentored engineers before and you know the difference between giving someone the answer and helping them learn how to find it
- You treat verification like a product. You think about the user experience, the failure modes, and what happens six months from now when someone else has to maintain what you built
