##

You Are

You bring solid experience in RTL design with a focus on building hardware that must be both performant and secure. Your work in digital design has taught you that security cannot be an afterthought, it must be architected into the IP from the beginning. You understand the interplay between hardware design decisions and security implications, and you make design choices that account for both functional correctness and threat resilience.

You are effective at working with incomplete specifications. When requirements need clarification, you ask the right questions to uncover intent before committing to an implementation. Your debugging approach is systematic, you trace issues through logic and simulation environments until you identify root cause, not symptoms.

Your experience with UVM or formal verification has shown you that thorough verification is what separates IP that works in the lab from IP that works in production. You take verification seriously and advocate for comprehensive test coverage. At Synopsys, you will contribute to Security IP development for applications where reliability and trust are critical requirements.

##

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and implement RTL in Verilog and SystemVerilog for Security IP cores, translating security requirements into synthesizable, verifiable hardware
• Build and maintain test environments for digital hardware Security IP using SystemVerilog and UVM, ensuring coverage of corner cases and attack scenarios
• Verify IP cores and subsystems using modern verification techniques including UVM testbenches and formal verification tools
• Collaborate with hardware and software security engineers to analyze functional correctness and performance of embedded IP solutions across threat models
• Contribute to detailed design specifications, verification plans, and documentation that support global development and customer integration
• Work within an international team across time zones, coordinating design reviews, debugging sessions, and milestone deliveries

##

The Impact You Will Have

• Strengthen the security posture of IP cores that protect critical systems in automotive, AI, and high-performance computing applications
• Enable faster SoC integration by delivering IP that meets strict performance, power, and area requirements without compromising security
