Synopsys is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company. I am working on one of its key products, Custom Complier (CC), used primarily for analogue IC design.My responsibilities include the debugging, maintenance and periodic updating of the underlying industry standard database, Open Access (OA). Both CC and OA are large C++ code bases additionally CC uses the scripting language Tcl.My role also entails writing, improving and debugging the overlying code in CC.Synopsys has offices around the globe, so I am used to working independently and as part of a team that is remotely managed and located in multiple time zones.Skills:C++TclDebugging using GDB.Performance improvements.Highly independent and self-motivated.Writing specifications.Project planning.Mentoring more junior members of the team.Linux environment.Perforce.A lot of emphasis on software quality. Using tools such as Coverity, Valgrind and Purify. To find and prevent actual and possible causes of problems.
