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. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You Are

You bring nearly a decade of experience developing performance models and architectural evaluation methodologies that enable critical design decisions before silicon exists. Your work sits at the convergence of hardware design, software optimization, and system-level analysis, and you have developed a disciplined approach to navigating ambiguity when requirements are still being defined, or stakeholders have not yet aligned on the core technical questions.

You are equally capable of writing performance critical C++ models and Python-based automation frameworks for design-space exploration. Your thinking spans multiple abstraction layers: RTL implementation, embedded firmware, application workloads, and system topology. You understand which layer drives the answer for any given architectural question.

Cross-functional collaboration is a strength. You have worked effectively with architecture teams focused on power, performance, and area trade-offs, software teams optimizing for latency and throughput, and verification teams driving coverage metrics.

At Synopsys, you will contribute to methodologies and reference architectures for next-generation semiconductor systems. The frameworks you develop will influence how customers evaluate chiplet interconnects, multi-die performance, and SoC scalability.

What You'll Be Doing

Develop architecture exploration methodologies for SoC, multi-die, and chiplet-based systems to support early design trade-off decisions

Build performance models and virtual prototyping environments using C/C++, Python, and SystemC to characterize next-generation semiconductor architectures

Create benchmarks, workloads, and design-space exploration tools that enable scalable evaluation of complex hardware/software systems

Collaborate with architecture, IP, software, and verification teams across Synopsys to define modeling approaches, validation strategies, and proof-of-concept demonstrations

Drive technical thought leadership by publishing findings, presenting them at conferences, contributing to standards bodies, and sharing best practices internally and externally

Contribute to reference platforms and technical demonstrations that showcase Synopsys IP, EDA tools, and system-level solutions to customers and partners

Integrate AI-assisted development workflows into rapid prototyping, automation, and tooling to accelerate methodology development and technical exploration

The Impact You Will Have

Enable architecture teams to evaluate and optimize multi-die and chiplet-based systems before physical implementation, reducing costly late-stage design changes

Accelerate time-to-insight for customers by delivering reusable workloads and performance models that become the foundation for their own evaluations

Shape the technical direction of Synopsys IP and platform roadmaps by providing data-driven performance analysis and architectural trade-off studies

Reduce verification and bring-up cycles by delivering validated virtual prototyping environments that software and firmware teams can use before silicon availability

Strengthen Synopsys customer engagements by contributing to technical demonstrations that prove out real-world use cases

What You'll Need

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

8+ years of hands-on experience in system architecture, performance modeling, hardware/software co-design, or semiconductor verification

Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python for performance-critical modeling, algorithm development, automation, and tooling

Deep experience with hardware design and verification, including RTL development, simulation, debug, and performance characterization of complex SoC or multi-die systems

Proven track record of technical communication through publications, conference presentations, patents, or contributions to industry standards and technical communities

Experience with virtual prototyping, design-space exploration tools, or simulation frameworks for architecture evaluation

Experience integrating AI-assisted development workflows into rapid prototyping, data analysis, or tool development is a strong plus

Who You Are

You can take a vague architectural question and turn it into a concrete modeling plan with defined assumptions, measurable outputs, and a timeline that actually holds

You write code that other engineers can pick up six months later without needing you in the room to explain it

You are comfortable presenting technical findings to a room that includes both deep RTL experts and software architects who have never touched Verilog, and you calibrate your message accordingly

You treat proof-of-concept work as a forcing function for clarity, not a shortcut, and you know when to stop refining and start sharing results

You stay current with emerging architectures, chiplet standards, and system-level design trends, and you bring that perspective into the work without waiting to be asked

The Team You'll Be Part Of

The System Design Enablement team develops performance models, virtual prototypes, methodologies, and proof-of-concept solutions for next-generation semiconductor systems. Working across hardware, software, and system architecture, the team enables early architecture exploration and system-level decision making for compute-intensive applications in areas such as automotive, robotics, and automation. Its work turns emerging requirements into scalable design approaches, reusable assets, and inputs for product roadmaps.
