R&D Engineering, Staff Engineer

We Are:

At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

You have a strong passion for working with embedded processors or processor-based systems. You bring knowledge of HDL design, with a preference for experience in RISC processor architectures, DSP, AI (Neural Processing Unit), and multi‑core systems. You are familiar with design and verification languages such as Verilog and SystemVerilog, and have experience with RTL simulation tools, such as VCS. Scripting or programming skills in languages such as assembler, C, Tcl, Csh, and Python is desirable. Experience with embedded software related to DSP or AI reference models is a plus. You have strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, as well as excellent written and verbal communication skills, including proficiency in English, detailed status reporting, and the ability to present results to program management teams.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Develop and maintain microprocessor hardware IP including specification, implementation, verification, and FPGA validation, with an emphasis on validating system architecture and performance for DSP processor IP or Neural Processing Unit (NPU) IP.
• Optimize designs for performance, area, and power efficiency.
• Create and enhance tests for hardware IP verification and validation, improving functional coverage and performance through the application of state‑of‑the‑art methodologies.
• Collaborate with global teams in tools, modeling, and simulation to deliver optimized solutions for our customers.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Contribute to the development of highly optimized hardware IP for the ARC family of configurable processors.
• Enable customers to create sophisticated and efficient embedded designs.
• Support the delivery of world‑class microprocessors used in advanced applications.
• Help improve functional coverage and performance of processor IP through advanced verification methods.
• Collaborate globally to deliver customer‑focused solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement in processor system verification.

What You’ll Need:

• Passion for embedded processors or processor‑based systems.
