Job Description

We Are
Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, develop, and own significant features in RedHawk-SC, a distributed power and reliability analysis platform for advanced SoC designs
• Drive medium-sized projects with limited oversight, from design through implementation, testing, and delivery
• Optimize runtime performance and memory efficiency so the platform scales across large, complex datasets
• Diagnose and resolve complex defects in C++ on Linux systems with a focus on quality and maintainability
• Build and strengthen unit, regression, and system-level test coverage
• Collaborate with technical leads, architects, and engineers to refine designs and integrate solutions
• Support the team through code reviews, design discussions, and technical collaboration

The Impact You Will Have

• Deliver software that helps semiconductor companies solve power integrity and reliability challenges in advanced chips
• Improve the performance, scale, and quality of RedHawk-SC for engineers working on complex SoC designs
• Build features that address customer needs in FinFET, 3D-IC, and stacked-die architectures
• Raise the quality bar through strong engineering practices and disciplined testing
• Contribute to the technical strength of the team through consistent delivery and sound judgment

What You'll Need

• BSEE, BSCS, or related field with 8+ years of experience, or Master's with 6+ years, or PhD with relevant experience
• Strong C++ development skills, including debugging, performance optimization, and memory management
• Strong experience working in Linux development environments
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and debugging complex software systems
• Understanding of electronic design at gate or transistor level, including power delivery networks, timing, or physical design
• Experience developing software for performance, scale, and reliability
• Experience with distributed systems, Python, or ASIC power delivery network simulation is a plus

Who You Are

• You take ownership of technical work and move it forward with limited oversight
• You write production-quality code that other engineers can read, maintain, and extend
• You communicate technical issues and tradeoffs clearly
• You contribute well in cross-functional engineering discussions and design reviews
• You are a strong collaborator and a dependable technical partner

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the RedHawk-SC Research and Development team, building state-of-the-art software for semiconductor power and reliability analysis. The platform uses distributed big-data analytics to tackle challenges in advanced SoC design, including electromigration, thermal effects, and power noise integrity in FinFET, 3D-IC, and stacked-die architectures.
