Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

You are a passionate and driven EMIR Engineer with a strong foundation in EMIR analysis and signoff flows, PDN implementation, and a proven ability to independently own and deliver complex designs. With at least 5 years of hands‑on experience in advanced technology nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, or even 3nm, you thrive in fast‑paced, innovative environments and are eager to tackle new technical challenges. Your expertise spans the entire Power Integrity spectrum—from PDN design, Static & Dynamic Signal/Power EM & IR Drop analysis with or without simulation vectors, Peak Current Analysis, EMIR ECO generation, and full SoC Power Integrity signoff. You have experience in block‑level, Sub‑system level and full‑chip level EMIR signoff with aggressive schedules. Your toolset includes industry‑leading Synopsys solutions like Redhawk, Redhawk‑SC, PrimeRail, and PrimePower.

Beyond your technical skills, you are a collaborative team player who communicates effectively across global teams, valuing diversity of thought and experience. You are motivated by problem‑solving, have a keen analytical mindset, and are always seeking opportunities to automate and optimize workflows using Python, PERL, TCL, or other scripting languages. You take ownership of your work and pride yourself on delivering high‑quality, robust solutions that drive organizational success. If you are excited about contributing to leading‑edge silicon design and want to make a tangible impact, Synopsys is the place for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Independently own and drive full EMIR analysis and signoff closure for advanced process nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm), ensuring successful tape‑outs.


• Execute PDN implementation, Static & Dynamic Signal/Power EM & IR Drop analysis with or without vectors, Peak Current Analysis, EMIR ECO generation, and full SoC Power Integrity signoff to meet stringent performance and power targets. Perform block‑level, sub‑system level and full‑chip PDN implementation, EMIR analysis, and trade‑off between EMIR signoff closure and timing closure activities. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams across geographies to resolve complex design challenges and ensure design quality and schedule adherence.


• Utilize and optimize Synopsys EDA tools, including Redhawk, Redhawk‑SC, PrimeRail and PrimePower, to deliver state‑of‑the‑art silicon solutions.


• Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python, PERL, TCL, or other relevant languages to streamline design flows and improve efficiency.


• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design methodologies and best practices, sharing insights and mentoring junior engineers as needed.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate the delivery of high‑performance, low‑power silicon solutions that power next‑generation technology platforms worldwide.


• Enable Synopsys customers to achieve first‑pass silicon success through robust and innovative PDN implementation, EMIR analysis & signoff closure.


• Drive technical excellence and best practices within the team, influencing the future direction of EMIR signoff methodologies at Synopsys.


• Foster a collaborative and inclusive culture by working seamlessly with global teams and sharing technical expertise.


• Contribute to Synopsys’ leadership in EDA tools adoption, providing valuable feedback to enhance product offerings and customer satisfaction.
