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.\nYou Are\nYou are an ASIC verification engineer who cares as much about how verification gets done as about what gets verified. You have solid hands-on UVM experience, and when you see a repetitive or fragile step in the flow, your first instinct is to automate it. AI coding agents are already part of how you work every day: you use them to write, review, and maintain code, and you know where they help and where they need a careful human eye.\nAt Synopsys, you will join the R&D team developing the PCI Express (PCIe) and Compute Express Link (CXL) controller IP used in data centers, artificial intelligence, automotive, and many other applications. The verification components and flows you build will be used by the whole team, every day.\nVerification engineer at heart, automation engineer by instinct: you bridge UVM testbenches and the scripts and infrastructure around them.\nAI-native: you work comfortably within AI-assisted flows and use coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot as everyday tools.\nOwner: you take a component or a flow from requirements to deployment and support, with general direction rather than step-by-step instructions.\nMultiplier: the tools and components you build make the engineers around you faster.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nDesign, deploy, maintain, and support reusable and configurable verification components for PCIe and CXL controller IP.\nDevelop UVM testbench architecture, agents, and test sequences within your area of the verification environment.\nBuild and extend AI-assisted flows for verification and automation, using coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot to create, review, and maintain testbench code, scripts, and regression infrastructure.\nIntegrate state-of-the-art Synopsys tools into the product workflow.\nWork with the infrastructure team to ensure fair and efficient access to shared compute and tool resources.\nContribute to internal forums on verification methodology, automation, and AI-assisted development best practices.\nCoach more junior engineers on UVM, automation, and effective use of AI coding agents.\nThe Impact You Will Have\nShorten verification turnaround for PCIe and CXL IP by automating repetitive and error-prone work across the flow.\nMake AI-assisted development a practical, everyday part of how the team verifies IP.\nDeliver reusable verification components that other engineers in the team build on.\nOwn entire flows or processes within your area, with direct impact on the team’s delivery results.\nImprove how efficiently the team uses shared compute and tool resources.\nHelp spread good practices across the team through methodology forums and day-to-day coaching.\nWhat You’ll Need\nBachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Communication Engineering.\n5+ years of ASIC design verification, UVM-based functional verification, or related experience (3+ years with a master’s degree).\nSolid SystemVerilog and UVM skills, including testbench architecture, agents, and test sequences.\nHands-on experience working within AI-assisted development flows, using coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot.\nProficiency in scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl, Unix shell).\nStrong analytical skills and the ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.\nThe following will set you apart:\nSoftware design best practices.\nExperience with reusable and configurable designs.\nExperience with revision control systems and development best practices.\nKnowledge of the PCI Express and/or CXL protocols.\nHow You Work\nYou work independently day to day and need only general direction on new assignments.\nYou pick the right tool for the problem, whether that is a script, a UVM component, or an AI agent, and you can explain why you chose it.\nYou explain concepts and practices clearly to your peers, and you work across team boundaries to get things done.\nYou are a team player with a positive, “can do” attitude who drives results and innovation.\nYou communicate well, both in writing and in person.\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.\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":5246,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"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":"2026-10-30T21:06:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-19291","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-19291.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T19:17:34Z","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":29736,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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-19291"},{"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-19291"},{"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-19291"},{"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-19291\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsynopsys-asic-digital-design-staff-engineer-19291"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3546859}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"synopsys.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3546859},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
