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\nYou have spent years in the space where hardware meets safety, and you know that a chip destined for an automotive system is not just about performance or power, it is about proving that when something goes wrong, the design catches it before it matters. You think in failure modes, diagnostic coverage, and safety mechanisms, not as compliance checkboxes but as engineering decisions that determine whether a product ships or gets recalled.\nYou have read ISO 26262 enough times that you can tell when a Technical Safety Concept is missing a dependency or when an FMEA is too shallow to survive an audit. You are comfortable sitting with architects who are sketching out a new IP block and asking the questions that surface safety gaps early, before RTL is written and before verification plans are locked. You do not wait for someone to hand you a safety requirement, you help shape it based on what the hardware can realistically deliver.\nYou have done the work. You have written safety analyses, reviewed fault injection results, defined safety mechanisms, and worked through assessor feedback without losing your patience or your clarity. At Synopsys, you will work on IP and SoC products where safety is not an afterthought, and where the rigor you bring will directly shape what our automotive customers can build.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nDrive Functional Safety activities across ASIC IP and SoC development lifecycles, from early architecture through verification and release\nDevelop and review safety requirements, Technical Safety Concepts, and safety work products in compliance with ISO 26262\nConduct safety analyses including FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and Dependent Failure Analysis to identify and mitigate failure modes\nDefine, implement, and evaluate safety mechanisms at the IP, subsystem, and SoC level to meet diagnostic coverage and fault detection targets\nCollaborate with Architecture, RTL Design, and Verification teams to integrate safety into design and validation workflows\nInterface with customers, cross-functional teams, and external safety assessors to support audits, reviews, and certification activities\nDocument safety analyses, traceability matrices, and compliance evidence for internal reviews and external assessments\nThe Impact You Will Have\nEnable Synopsys IP and SoC products to meet automotive safety standards and support customer certification timelines\nReduce late-stage design rework by identifying safety risks early in the architecture and design phases\nImprove diagnostic coverage and fault detection capabilities across safety-critical semiconductor products\nStrengthen customer confidence by delivering well-documented, auditable safety work products that pass assessor scrutiny\nInfluence hardware safety architectures that will be deployed in next-generation automotive systems\nBuild internal capability by mentoring design and verification engineers on Functional Safety principles and practices\nContribute to a culture where safety is embedded in engineering decisions, not bolted on at the end\nWhat You'll Need\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline\n6 to 10 years of experience in Functional Safety engineering, with a focus on automotive semiconductor, IP, or SoC development\nStrong working knowledge of ISO 26262 standards, processes, and compliance requirements across hardware development lifecycles\nProven experience developing and reviewing safety requirements, Technical Safety Concepts, and related safety work products\nHands-on expertise in FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and Dependent Failure Analysis methodologies\nExperience defining and evaluating safety mechanisms, diagnostic coverage, and fault mitigation strategies at IP or SoC level\nUnderstanding of semiconductor product development and verification flows, and the ability to work independently with cross-functional teams, customers, and assessors. Experience with automotive IPs, networking or communication IPs, or safety-critical products is a strong plus\nWho You Are\nYou can walk into an architecture review and spot a safety gap that others miss, not because you are looking for problems but because you understand how failures propagate\nYou write safety analyses that are clear enough for an assessor to follow and detailed enough to survive a technical challenge from a design lead\nYou do not get stuck when requirements are incomplete or when a design decision has not been finalized, you work with what you have and flag what needs to be resolved\nYou can explain a complex safety mechanism to an RTL engineer in a way that makes sense within their workflow, not as an abstract concept but as something they can implement and verify\nYou are organized enough to track safety work products across multiple IP blocks and disciplined enough to maintain traceability without cutting corners\nYou push back when a proposed design does not meet safety targets, and you do it in a way that moves the conversation forward instead of shutting it down\nThe Team You'll Be Part Of\nYour recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.\nRewards and Benefits\nWe 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.\n\nAt Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6197,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EDA Software","Simulation & Digital Twin Software","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T08:12:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":62,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.831,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:late","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T08:23:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13419,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":39954},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=39954"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsynopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsynopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsynopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/synopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsynopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-18759"}]}
