Synopsys will permanently lay off 55 employees at its Sunnyvale, California facility, according to a WARN notice filed with California regulators. The cuts apply to the company’s site at 675 Almanor Avenue and are scheduled to take effect on May 26, 2026.
The notice was submitted in March 2026 and identifies the Sunnyvale reduction as a permanent workforce action. Synopsys has not publicly disclosed which teams or job categories are included in this 55-person round.
The Sunnyvale cuts come as Synopsys carries out a broader restructuring plan following its acquisition of simulation specialist Ansys, a transaction valued at about $35 billion. The company has said it plans to eliminate roughly 10 percent of its global workforce, amounting to more than 2,000 roles, with most of the reductions expected during fiscal 2026.
Synopsys has also secured a $2 billion investment from Nvidia as part of a deeper collaboration around chip design and AI workloads. Company executives have framed the larger restructuring as a move to redirect spending toward the highest-growth opportunities and integrate the Ansys business.
The 55-job Sunnyvale action adds another discrete wave of cuts at Synopsys’ Bay Area footprint. Earlier WARN filings and local reporting indicated additional Sunnyvale roles were affected as part of the larger restructuring, including engineering, management, and back-office positions.
