Coupling to excited auxiliary states, we realize additive effective Lindblad operators that are associated with non-conventional dissipative pathways, which are shown to enhance, in certain parameter regimes, quantum synchronization. The experimental set-up, which utilizes cold $^{87}$Rb atoms in a MOT, and associated synchronization extraction protocol are benchmarked carefully through dedicated simulations. Convincing agreement is found between experiment and simulations. The dissipation engineering approach established in our work can be readily extended to systems with more energy levels, such as effective spin-$3/2$ or spin-$2$ systems, and has implications for quantum synchronization studies in higher-spin systems as well as for a wide range of quantum science studies and technology applications.
