R&D Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer

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.

You Are

You are an experienced C++ engineer who builds scalable, maintainable software for production environments. You bring a strong understanding of semiconductor fundamentals, including gate-level and transistor-level concepts, power delivery networks, and power integrity challenges. You work independently, take ownership once work is scoped, and focus on delivering reliable code, strong test coverage, and solid performance. At Synopsys, you will work on RedHawk-SC, a distributed analytics platform that helps engineers solve power and reliability challenges in advanced SoC designs.

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.

Rewards and Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
