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 have spent years at the edge of what computing can do, and you know that quantum is not magic, it is math, physics, and a lot of careful engineering to figure out where it actually helps. You think in algorithms and implementations, not hype cycles. You have built things in Qiskit or PennyLane or Cirq, run experiments on real quantum hardware or simulators, and debugged why a circuit that worked in theory fell apart in practice.\nYou are comfortable moving between theory and code. You can read a paper on variational quantum eigensolvers, implement it in Python, and then sit with an EDA engineer to figure out if it could ever scale to a real workflow. You do not need a perfect roadmap to start exploring. You ask the right questions, build the proof-of-concept, and know when to pivot.\nResearch excites you, but so does impact. You want your work to eventually matter beyond a publication. At Synopsys, you will help evaluate whether quantum computing can create real differentiation in CAE and EDA, and you will build the prototypes that prove it out.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nDevelop and evaluate quantum algorithms for CAE and EDA applications, focusing on optimization, simulation, and computational problems relevant to Synopsys workflows\nResearch emerging quantum technologies and assess their applicability to real product use cases, separating signal from noise in a rapidly evolving field\nBuild software prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and tech demos using quantum frameworks like Qiskit, PennyLane, Cirq, or QuTip, and validate them against classical HPC baselines\nCollaborate with internal engineering teams, academic researchers, and industry partners to explore quantum approaches and translate research into practical engineering insights\nContribute to patents and publications in top quantum computing conferences and journals\nIntegrate quantum workflows with HPC and classical computing environments to build hybrid solutions that scale\nRamp up on Synopsys EDA and simulation technologies to understand where quantum methods could create meaningful advantage\nThe Impact You Will Have\nHelp Synopsys evaluate and adopt next-generation quantum computing technologies that could differentiate future CAE and EDA products\nTurn quantum research into practical engineering capabilities by building prototypes that validate real-world applicability\nIdentify quantum algorithms and approaches that can improve computational workflows in silicon design, simulation, and analysis\nBuild the technical foundation for quantum integration as hardware matures and becomes commercially viable\nContribute to Synopsys intellectual property portfolio and thought leadership in quantum computing for EDA\nBridge the gap between cutting-edge research and product engineering, ensuring quantum exploration stays grounded in business value\nStrengthen Synopsys partnerships with academic institutions and quantum hardware providers through collaborative research and proof-of-concepts\nWhat You'll Need\nMS or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with focus on quantum computing, quantum information, or computational science\nStrong programming skills in Python and C/C++ for building algorithms, simulations, and scalable software\nHands-on experience with quantum computing frameworks such as Qiskit, PennyLane, Cirq, QuTip, or similar platforms\nSolid understanding of quantum algorithms including VQE, QAOA, QFT, quantum optimization techniques, or quantum simulation methods\nExperience with HPC, CUDA, MPI, or scientific computing environments is a strong plus\nTrack record of research contributions through publications, patents, or open-source quantum software projects is valuable\nWho You Are\nYou can explain a complex quantum algorithm to a classical HPC engineer in two sentences without losing the technical nuance or overselling the capability\nSelf-driven and comfortable working in ambiguity, you do not wait for a perfect problem statement to start exploring solutions\nYou have a learning mindset and stay current with quantum computing research, but you also know how to focus on what matters for industry-scale problems\nStrong collaborator who can work across disciplines, from physicists to software engineers to product managers, and find common ground quickly\nYou think critically about where quantum actually helps and where it does not, and you are not afraid to say when a classical approach is still the right answer\nOrganized enough to manage research exploration, prototype development, and stakeholder communication without losing momentum\nThe Team You'll Be Part Of\nYou will join the Office of Innovation, a team focused on bringing research and advanced computing technologies to Synopsys. The mission is to drive near-term and long-term innovation by exploring quantum computing, AI and foundation models, and HPC acceleration. This team evaluates emerging technologies, builds proof-of-concepts, and works closely with product engineering to identify where new approaches can create real differentiation in EDA and simulation workflows.\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":6166,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","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":"2026-11-10T11:17:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T13:21:24Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-engineering-staff-engineer-19531","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-engineering-staff-engineer-19531.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T13:21:24Z","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":31064,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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-engineering-staff-engineer-19531"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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-engineering-staff-engineer-19531"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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-engineering-staff-engineer-19531"},{"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-engineering-staff-engineer-19531\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsynopsys-engineering-staff-engineer-19531"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4013356}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"synopsys.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4013356},"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.
