Synopsys said it would cut about 10% of its workforce, roughly 2,000 roles, as it restructured after the Ansys deal and redirected resources toward higher-growth areas including AI-driven design and simulation.
Synopsys announced on November 12 that it will reduce its workforce by about 10%, or roughly 2,000 employees... The company said the cuts will allow it to redirect investment toward growth opportunities, particularly in artificial intelligence and advanced node technologies.
