About the role

This role involves leading VCS simulation deployments at customer sites, focusing on integrating the tool into existing flows and resolving adoption blockers. You will work with a deep technical understanding of verification and debug solutions to ensure successful chip tape-outs.

What you'll do

• Lead VCS simulation deployments at customer sites, integrating the tool into existing flows.
• Diagnose complex simulation mismatches, performance bottlenecks, and verification environment issues using VCS, Verdi, and related debugging infrastructure.
• Partner with field application engineers and R&D to translate customer pain points into actionable product requirements.
• Drive competitive evaluations and benchmarking engagements, demonstrating VCS capabilities.
• Develop automation scripts in Perl, TCL, Shell, and Make to streamline customer workflows.
• Support customers using advanced verification methodologies including UVM, SVA, low-power simulation, gate-level verification, and functional safety flows.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's in Electronics or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of experience, or Master's with 3+ years, focused on digital design verification.
• Deep hands-on experience with simulation technologies, including VCS or equivalent commercial simulators, and strong understanding of event-driven simulation internals.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA, and HDL languages like Verilog and VHDL.
• Proven track record debugging simulation mismatches, performance issues, and verification flow problems.
• Strong scripting skills in Perl, TCL, Shell, and Make.
• Working knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments, version control systems, and large-scale verification infrastructure.
• Experience with Synopsys tools like Verdi, exposure to low-power simulation, gate-level verification, and functional safety methodologies is a strong plus.
