Your technical acumen is matched by your ability to architect robust verification environments, make strategic decisions, and lead teams across global locations.

You thrive in dynamic, fast-paced settings, where collaboration and innovation are at the forefront. Your expertise spans across protocols like DDR, PCIe, AMBA, Ethernet, USB, and MIPI, and you are well-versed in UVM/VMM/OVM methodologies. You are not only proficient in SystemVerilog and object-oriented verification, but you also leverage scripting and programming languages (C/C , TCL, Perl, Python) to drive productivity and efficiency. Your commitment to quality is unwavering, and you have a keen eye for detail, ensuring coverage-driven verification processes and assertion-based checks are meticulously implemented.

As a Principal Engineer, you are a natural mentor and technical leader, adept at guiding teams, making architectural decisions, and communicating complex ideas with clarity. You value continuous learning, embrace new challenges, and are motivated by the opportunity to work on cutting-edge IP Cores that define the next generation of smart devices. Your experience with functional safety standards (ISO26262, FMEDA) further strengthens your ability to deliver reliable and secure solutions for Synopsys global clientele.

What Youll Be Doing:

• Architecting and making strategic decisions on test bench design for IP Core verification.
• Developing comprehensive verification plans and specifications based on functional requirements.
• Implementing robust test bench infrastructure and authoring advanced test cases using UVM/VMM/OVM.
• Driving a coverage-driven verification methodology to ensure thorough validation of IP functionality.
• Leading technical aspects of the verification team, mentoring junior engineers and collaborating internationally.
• Providing innovative verification solutions to enhance productivity, performance, and throughput.
• Engaging in assertion-based verification and coverage closure to guarantee high-quality deliverables.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams on functional safety and compliance standards, such as ISO26262 and FMEDA.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enable Synopsys to deliver world-class, high-performance IP Cores to global customers in AI, automotive, and cloud sectors.
• Enhance the robustness and reliability of verification processes, ensuring top-tier quality for end-customer applications.
• Accelerate time-to-market for Synopsys IP products through optimized verification methodologies and best practices.
• Drive collaboration and knowledge sharing across international teams, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
• Support functional safety initiatives, contributing to the development of secure and compliant solutions for automotive and mission-critical domains.
• Influence architectural decisions and technical strategies that shape the future of semiconductor verification.

What Youll Need:

• Extensive hands-on experience (15 years) in ASIC/RTL verification for complex IP Cores.
• Deep knowledge of protocols such as DDR, PCIe, AMBA (AXI, CHI), SD/eMMC, Ethernet, USB, and MIPI.
• Proficiency in verification methodologies: UVM, VMM, OVM; and SystemVerilog-based, object-oriented coding.
• Strong skills in scripting/programming languages: C/C , TCL, Perl, Python.
• Experience in developing test environments, planning, coverage closure, and assertion-based verification.
• Exposure to functional safety standards (ISO26262, FMEDA) is highly advantageous.

Who You Are:

• Innovative thinker with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communicator and collaborator, comfortable working in global, cross-functional teams.
• Natural leader and mentor, capable of guiding technical teams and driving project success.
• Self-motivated, able to work independently and proactively seek new solutions.
• Adaptable and resilient in fast-paced, challenging environments.

The Team Youll Be A Part Of:

You will join the Solutions Group at our Bangalore Design Center, collaborating with a diverse and talented team of architects, designers, and verification engineers across Synopsys global sites. The team is focused on developing advanced functional verification solutions for industry-leading IP Cores, supporting a wide range of applications from server farms and AI/machine learning to automotive systems. Together, you will drive innovation, quality, and scalability in every project.
