Synopsys ASIC Infrastructure Engineer Role Overview
- Role: ASIC Infrastructure / Digital Design Engineer
- Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka
- Experience: 0 to 2 years in software development, scripting, IT infrastructure or engineering support
- Hire type: Employee
- Pay: the posting says the recruiter shares the salary range during hiring
What the role involves
You would keep the infrastructure running that ASIC design teams use every day. The posting lists installing, configuring and upgrading EDA tools and licenses (simulation, synthesis, timing), building automation for flow setup, job submission, tracking and reporting in Python, Tcl, Bash or Perl, and supporting compute farms, schedulers and large storage. You also monitor environments, fix permission, path and license problems, and write clear documentation so users can solve issues themselves. Working with central methodology teams to deploy new design flows is part of it, as is using AI tools to speed up execution.
The impact the posting describes is concrete: keep design teams on track for tapeout by preventing infrastructure issues from blocking critical runs.
Requirements for the Synopsys ASIC Infrastructure role
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 0 to 2 years in development, scripting, IT infrastructure or engineering support
- At least one scripting language: Python, Tcl, Bash or Perl
- Working knowledge of Linux and the command line
- Ability to read technical material and learn new tools independently
Listed as a plus: exposure to ASIC flows or EDA tools, familiarity with compute farms, HPC or large storage, configuration management or release process experience, and some use of AI tools.
Who it suits
This suits a graduate who enjoys debugging Linux and scripts more than building user-facing apps. If you have a home lab, a college cluster project or heavy shell scripting, you already think the way this team does. Chip design knowledge helps but is only listed as a plus.
How to stand out
Show a script that automates something real, with logging and error handling, since the posting values automation that handles edge cases. Be ready to explain how you would isolate a failure between the tool, the environment and the user. Expect Linux and scripting questions, which is our reading of the posting, not a stated process.
