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 are the kind of engineer who sees quality as something you build into a product, not something you check for at the end. Your experience with high-frequency electronics, whether RF circuits, antenna design, or signal integrity analysis, gives you the technical depth to evaluate whether simulation results actually make sense. You know when an S-parameter plot looks suspicious or when a field distribution does not match the physics, and you ask the questions that prevent those issues from reaching customers. Testing is not just a checklist for you. You design validation strategies that stress the system in ways users will, and in ways they should not. You write automation that scales, using Python to build test frameworks that run across platforms, from local Linux boxes to cloud compute clusters. You have worked with engineering software before, maybe CAE tools, maybe EDA platforms, and you understand the difference between a feature that works in isolation and one that holds up in a real engineering workflow with large datasets, tight deadlines, and complex dependencies. Collaboration comes naturally. You work alongside developers to understand what changed and why, and you translate test results into actionable feedback that moves the product forward. At Synopsys, you will validate tools that power the next generation of wireless systems, high-speed electronics, and semiconductor innovation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and execute test strategies that validate electromagnetic simulation software across functional, performance, and accuracy dimensions
• Write automated test frameworks in Python that run reliably across Windows, Linux, cloud platforms, and distributed compute environments
• Validate new features and enhancements in tools like Ansys HFSS and HFSS 3D Layout, ensuring they meet engineering specifications and customer needs
• Develop detailed test plans, document results, and manage defect tracking from discovery through resolution
• Work directly with software developers to reproduce issues, clarify requirements, and verify fixes before release
• Run regression suites, performance benchmarks, and application-level tests to ensure stability across product updates
• Approve releases based on test coverage, defect status, and quality metrics, ensuring products are ready for customer deployment

The Impact You Will Have

• Ensure that engineers designing 5G antennas, automotive radar, and high-speed interconnects can trust the simulation results they depend on
• Prevent costly customer escalations by catching defects before they reach production, protecting both product reputation and customer relationships
• Enable faster development cycles by building automation that gives developers immediate feedback on code changes
• Improve product robustness by designing tests that uncover edge cases and failure modes that manual testing would miss
• Strengthen the feedback loop between QA and development, helping the team ship higher-quality software with every release
• Support Synopsys' position as the go-to provider of electromagnetic simulation tools that perform under real engineering pressure
• Contribute to a culture of quality within the Electronics, Semiconductor and Optics Business Unit, where verification is a shared responsibility

What You'll Need

• BS in Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline with 3+ years of relevant experience, or MS with 1+ year of experience
• Solid foundation in high-frequency electronics, including areas like RF/microwave design, antennas, signal integrity, or electromagnetic compatibility
• Strong programming skills in Python for test automation, scripting, and data processing
• Demonstrated experience with software testing practices including regression testing, functional validation, and performance analysis
• Comfort working across multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, virtual environments, compute clusters, and cloud infrastructure
• Background with engineering software tools, particularly EDA or CAE applications; familiarity with Ansys HFSS is highly valued
• Proven ability to develop and maintain automated test scripts with a focus on reliability and long-term sustainability

Who You Are

• You can take a vague bug report and turn it into a reproducible test case that a developer can fix in one iteration
• You explain test results and quality risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adjusting your message to the audience
• You work effectively with remote teams, coordinating across time zones to keep testing and development moving without bottlenecks
• You spot opportunities to improve test coverage or streamline processes, and you take the initiative to implement them
• You learn new technologies and tools quickly, whether that is a new simulation engine, a cloud platform, or an updated test framework
• You stay focused on what matters, prioritizing the tests that protect customer value over those that just inflate coverage numbers

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the Electronics, Semiconductor and Optics Business Unit, a team dedicated to advancing industry-leading products for electromagnetic simulation and analysis. The team includes software developers, technical specialists, and verification engineers working together to deliver tools that enable customers to design and optimize complex electronic systems. Collaboration is core to how the team operates, with verification engineers working closely with developers to ensure quality is built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.

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.
