Synopsys delivers comprehensive silicon-to-systems solutions that help innovators accelerate development, reduce risk, and drive breakthroughs. Backed by NEA.
About the role
You have spent years in the space where hardware meets safety, and you know that a chip destined for an automotive system is not just about performance or power, it is about proving that when something goes wrong, the design catches it before it matters. You think in failure modes, diagnostic coverage, and safety mechanisms, not as compliance checkboxes but as engineering decisions that determine whether a product ships or gets recalled.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline
- 6 to 10 years of experience in Functional Safety engineering, with a focus on automotive semiconductor, IP, or SoC development
- Strong working knowledge of ISO 26262 standards, processes, and compliance requirements across hardware development lifecycles
- Proven experience developing and reviewing safety requirements, Technical Safety Concepts, and related safety work products
- Hands-on expertise in FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and Dependent Failure Analysis methodologies
- Experience defining and evaluating safety mechanisms, diagnostic coverage, and fault mitigation strategies at IP or SoC level

You Are
You have spent years in the space where hardware meets safety, and you know that a chip destined for an automotive system is not just about performance or power, it is about proving that when something goes wrong, the design catches it before it matters. You think in failure modes, diagnostic coverage, and safety mechanisms, not as compliance checkboxes but as engineering decisions that determine whether a product ships or gets recalled.
You have read ISO 26262 enough times that you can tell when a Technical Safety Concept is missing a dependency or when an FMEA is too shallow to survive an audit. You are comfortable sitting with architects who are sketching out a new IP block and asking the questions that surface safety gaps early, before RTL is written...
