After graduating in 1971 from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Sangiovanni Vincentelli stayed on at the university in a research post. In 1976, he moved to University of California at Berkeley, where he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. At Berkeley, he "quickly turned his attention to the more theoretical end of electronics," designing numerical analysis algorithms for circuit design. In 1983, he co-founded Solomon Design Automation (SDA), an electronic design automation (EDA) company. Solomon Design Automation merged with ECAD in 1987 and created the company Cadence Design Systems. Also in 1987, Sangiovanni-Vincentelli co-founded the EDA company Optimal Solutions Inc, which was renamed Synopsys. By 1991, Cadence and Synopsys had increasingly started competing.
He holds the position of Edgar L. and Harold H. Buttner Chair in Berkeley's electrical engineering and computer sciences department, and since July 2019, he has served as special advisor on entrepreneurship to the Dean of Engineering at Berkeley. He has also held a number of visiting teaching positions at Italian universities.
