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 AreYou have spent over a decade in SoC verification, and somewhere along the way you realized that the hardest part of the job is not just catching bugs, it is building a team that catches them before they become expensive problems. You know what good verification looks like because you have written testbenches, debugged waveforms at 2 a.m., and closed coverage gaps on complex subsystems yourself. Now you lead teams through that same work, and you are good at it.You understand customer engagements are not internal projects. Scope creeps, requirements shift, and timelines compress. You have learned to read between the lines when a customer says "we need verification support" and figure out what they actually need, then translate that into a plan your team can execute without drama.Managing seven engineers across multiple projects means you spend your day context-switching between technical reviews, customer calls, and mentoring conversations. You do not micromanage, but you also do not disappear. You know when to step in and when to let someone work through a problem. At Synopsys, you will lead verification work that directly enables customers building chips for AI, automotive, aerospace, and high-performance computing. The work is real, the customers are demanding, and your team will depend on you to keep it all moving.What You'll Be Doing • 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 efficiencyThe Impact You Will Have • Your team will deliver verification solutions that enable customers to tape out complex SoCs on schedule, directly affecting product launches in AI, automotive, and aerospace markets • The engineers you mentor will grow into technical leads and customer-facing verification experts, strengthening Synopsys capability to take on larger, more complex engagements • Your project scoping and resource planning will determine whether customer engagements stay on track or slip, affecting both customer satisfaction and SSG revenue • The verification methodology improvements you drive will be reused across future projects, compounding efficiency gains across the entire Systems Solutions Group • Your ability to translate customer needs into clear verification scope will shape how Synopsys tools and IP get deployed in real-world SoC projects • The quality standards you enforce will define what customers expect from Synopsys verification services, setting the bar for future engagements • Your collaboration with sales and AE teams will help position SSG for new customer opportunities and expand the types of verification work Synopsys can take onWhat You'll Need • 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 lifecycleWho You Are • 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 growthThe Team You'll Be Part OfYou will join the System Solutions Group (SSG), a team that delivers end-to-end SoC design and verification services to Synopsys customers. SSG works on everything from subsystem blocks to full turnkey SoCs, serving customers that range from startups to industry leaders across high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace, and defense. Your verification team will collaborate closely with architects, RTL designers, and post-silicon teams, and you will work alongside peers in other SSG functions, sales, and Synopsys business unit application engineering teams to deliver customer engagements and refine internal methodology.Rewards and BenefitsWe offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs.
