Validation / Verification Eng, Sr Manager-17415

  2026-06-06     Synopsys     Hillsboro,OR  
Description:

The Hiring manager is open to hiring at a Manager / Sr.Manager level for this position.


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 years in the lab, hands on oscilloscopes and network analyzers, watching silicon behave in ways the simulation never predicted. You know that the gap between a design that works on paper and one that ships is filled with late nights debugging signal integrity issues, hunting down noise sources, and figuring out why the eye diagram looks nothing like it should. You have done the work yourself, and now you know how to lead others through it.

Managing people energizes you, especially when those people are a mix of analog designers who think in differential pairs and hardware engineers who think in board stackups. You translate between these worlds naturally because you have lived in both. You know when to step into a debug session and when to let your team figure it out. You see patterns across test failures that others miss, and you can explain what is happening in a way that gets everyone pointed in the same direction.

At Synopsys, you will lead validation for high-speed SerDes PHYs that go into real products. The lab is well-equipped, the problems are hard, and your team will look to you to make the call when things get messy.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead a cross-functional Silicon Validation team of analog designers and hardware engineers testing high-speed SerDes PHY implementations in a state-of-the-art lab
  • Own the review and debug process for silicon under test, guiding your team through signal integrity issues, performance anomalies, and circuit behavior investigations
  • Oversee characterization test execution and the creation of detailed test reports that meet project timelines and quality standards
  • Coordinate the development of custom test boards and hardware solutions to support debugging, characterization, and bring-up activities
  • Mentor team members on debugging techniques, lab equipment usage, and the application of analog circuit theory to explain real-world silicon behavior
  • Collaborate with design, product engineering, and IP teams to align validation results with project goals and drive design improvements
  • Build and maintain a lab environment that supports effective testing of high-speed interfaces including USB, PCI Express, SATA, and Ethernet

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, advanced degree preferred
