Job description

At 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. Job Description and Requirements Job Title: SoC Verification - Senior Manager 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 have spent over a decade in SoC verification, and somewhere along the way you realized that the hardest part of the job is not just catching bugs, it is building a team that catches them before they become expensive problems. You know what good verification looks like because you have written testbenches, debugged waveforms at 2 a.m., and closed coverage gaps on complex subsystems yourself. Now you lead teams through that same work, and you are good at it. You understand customer engagements are not internal projects. Scope creeps, requirements shift, and timelines compress. You have learned to read between the lines when a customer says "we need verification support" and figure out what they actually need, then translate that into a plan your team can execute without drama. Managing seven engineers across multiple projects means you spend your day context-switching between technical reviews, customer calls, and mentoring conversations. You do not micromanage, but you also do not disappear. You know when to step in and when to let someone work through a problem. At Synopsys, you will lead verification work that directly enables customers building chips for AI, automotive, aerospace, and high-performance computing. The work is real, the customers are demanding, and your team will depend on you to keep it all moving. What You'll Be Doing Lead and manage a team of 7-8 SoC and subsystem verification engineers working on customer engagements across automotive, aerospace, defense, and high-performance computing domains Work directly with Synopsys customers to scope verification activities, define deliverables, and translate their technical challenges into actionable verification plans Assess project complexity and resource needs, then propose staffing and timeline plans that actually hold up under execution pressure Mentor engineers daily on verification methodology, debug strategies, coverage closure, and customer communication, growing their technical depth for future assignments Review testbench code, verification plans, coverage reports, and waveform analysis to provide feedback that improves quality before deliverables go to the customer Report project status to senior management, flag risks early, and work through execution issues with peers and stakeholders across SSG, sales, and business unit application engineering teams Drive adoption of Synopsys verification tools including VCS, Verdi, and Synopsys VIP within customer projects, and collaborate with internal teams to refine methodology and improve efficiency The Impact You Will Have Your team will deliver verification solutions that enable customers to tape out complex SoCs on schedule, directly affecting product launches in AI, automotive, and aerospace markets The engineers you mentor will grow into technical leads and customer-facing verification experts, strengthening Synopsys capability to take on larger, more complex engagements Your project scoping and resource planning will determine whether customer engagements stay on track or slip, affecting both customer satisfaction and SSG revenue The verification methodology improvements you drive will be reused across future pr
