• Expert proficiency in SystemVerilog and Verilog for high-speed digital design and modeling.
• Strong background in high-speed circuit design, timing closure, and physically aware synthesis.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL) for automating design and verification tasks.
• Comprehensive understanding of the ASIC and IP development flow, including DFT/DFM.
• Experience in debugging complex hardware issues and writing clear specification documents.
• Familiarity with DDR and HBM DRAM technologies is highly desirable.

Who You Are:

• Analytical and detail-oriented, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Effective communicator, able to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in a global, multicultural environment.
• Adaptable and resilient, embracing new challenges and continuous learning.
• Mentor and leader, committed to supporting the development of others.
• Passionate about innovation and delivering high-quality solutions

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enable Synopsys to deliver world-class High Bandwidth Memory PHY IP, accelerating customers’ time-to-market for advanced SoC products.
• Drive innovation at the boundary of digital, analog, and mixed signal design, pushing the limits of memory performance and integration.
• Enhance the reliability and quality of delivered IP through rigorous verification and debugging.
• Contribute to the world’s broadest portfolio of silicon IP, supporting diverse applications from AI and cloud to 5G and IoT.
• Empower global teams by sharing expertise and best practices, cultivating a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
• Reduce design risk and optimize power, performance, and area for customers’ next-generation chips.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You’ll join the High Bandwidth Memory RTL team, a group of experienced engineers dedicated to designing cutting-edge PHY IP at the interface of digital, analog, and mixed signal technology. This diverse, global team values collaboration, technical rigor, and continuous improvement. Together, you’ll drive the integration of advanced memory capabilities into next-generation SoCs, supporting Synopsys’ leadership in silicon IP.
