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 have spent years building test strategies that catch the kinds of bugs that would otherwise make it to production and ruin someone's quarter. You know that verification is not just running scripts, it is understanding what could go wrong, where the edge cases hide, and how to prove that a system actually does what it claims to do under real conditions.

You are comfortable reading someone else's code, tracing through execution paths, and asking the right questions when something does not add up. Automation is your default, but you know when to step back and think through a test plan manually before writing a single line. You do not wait for perfect documentation. You work with what you have, talk to the engineers who built the feature, and figure out what needs coverage.

Debugging energizes you. When a test fails intermittently or a result does not match expectations, you dig in. You script in Python, Tcl, and shell without friction, and you have learned that the best test frameworks are the ones that actually get used by the team.

At Synopsys, you will work on EDA tools that power semiconductor design across the industry. The software is complex, the stakes are real, and what you validate will ship to customers building the next generation of chips.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and implement automated test scenarios for Synopsys EDA software using Python, Tcl, and shell scripting
• Analyze test execution results, investigate failures, and file detailed defect reports with clear reproduction steps and diagnostic data
• Execute and maintain regression test suites to ensure zero functional degradation across product releases
• Collaborate with development teams to understand new features, review code for testability, and build test coverage that matches real-world usage
• Contribute to test planning for new product features, translating requirements into test cases that cover functionality, performance, and edge conditions
• Participate in root cause analysis sessions, providing test data and insights that help engineers isolate and resolve complex issues
• Review and improve testing processes, tooling, and automation frameworks to increase efficiency and coverage

The Impact You Will Have

• Prevent critical defects from reaching customers who depend on Synopsys tools to design chips for AI, 5G, automotive, and cloud infrastructure
• Reduce manual testing overhead by building reusable, maintainable automation that scales across product lines
• Accelerate release cycles by catching issues early and providing fast, actionable feedback to engineering teams
• Strengthen product reliability and customer trust by ensuring that every release meets Synopsys quality standards
• Enable the successful launch of new features and platforms by validating them thoroughly before they go live
• Contribute to a culture of quality where testing is treated as a first-class engineering discipline, not an afterthought
• Help Synopsys maintain its leadership position by ensuring that the tools we ship actually work the way customers expect

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• At least 6 years of hands-on experience in software validation, verification, or quality engineering
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Tcl, and shell for test automation and tooling
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, including functional, regression, and integration testing
• Experience analyzing test results, debugging failures, and working with engineers to resolve issues
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, especially when documenting defects and test coverage
• Experience with EDA tools or semiconductor design workflows is a strong plus
• Exposure to AI systems, machine learning frameworks, or related technologies is a plus

Who You Are

• You can look at a new feature spec and immediately start thinking about what could break and how to test for it
• When a test fails, you do not just rerun it. You investigate, gather data, and figure out whether it is a real bug, a test issue, or an environment problem
• You are comfortable working across time zones with distributed teams, and you know how to communicate technical details clearly in writing and on calls
• You manage your own workload without needing constant direction. You know what needs attention, you prioritize, and you follow through
• You are curious about how things work under the hood. You read code, ask questions, and learn new tools without needing formal training
• You give and receive feedback constructively. You review other people's test code, suggest improvements, and take input on your own work without defensiveness

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join a global, distributed team responsible for validating Synopsys' core EDA software solutions. The team works closely with development, product management, and customer support across multiple time zones. It is a collaborative, multicultural environment where knowledge sharing is constant and quality is a shared responsibility. The team values autonomy, technical rigor, and a willingness to challenge assumptions when something does not look right.

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.
