Job description

We Are:

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You Are:

You are energized by motion-new problems, shifting priorities, and the kind of fast-paced environment where progress depends on clear thinking and calm execution. You don't wait for perfect information before you act; you ask sharp questions, form a hypothesis, and move forward while keeping others aligned on what you're learning. You thrive when the work is ambiguous and the stakes are real, because you enjoy turning complexity into something teams can rally around.

You approach challenges with a builder's mindset. You're curious, hands-on, and willing to experiment, but you're equally disciplined about quality and follow-through. When something isn't working, you don't look for someone to blame—you look for the root cause, the simplest path to resolution, and the long-term fix that prevents repeat issues. You communicate with intention, adapting your message so engineers, partners, and stakeholders all walk away with the same understanding and next steps.

You're the teammate people trust in the middle of pressure. You create space for collaboration, invite different viewpoints, and make others better by sharing context and giving credit freely. You take ownership naturally: when you see a gap, you close it; when you see an opportunity, you champion it. You're motivated by impact, not spotlight, and you measure success by the reliability, clarity, and momentum you bring to the work-day after day.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Collaborating with customers to understand their technical challenges and providing comprehensive solutions using Synopsys tools and platforms.
• Driving the adoption and integration of EDA tools in customer design flows, ensuring optimal utilization and performance.
• Developing and delivering technical workshops, training sessions, and product demonstrations tailored to customer needs.
• Partnering with R&D and product management teams to influence product direction and resolve complex technical issues.
• Authoring and maintaining technical documentation, application notes, and best practice guides.
• Providing pre- and post-sales technical support, including troubleshooting, bug tracking, and solution development.
• Mentoring and guiding junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerating customer success by ensuring seamless deployment and integration of Synopsys solutions.
• Enhancing product quality and usability through direct feedback and collaboration with R&D teams.
• Expanding Synopsys' footprint in key accounts by demonstrating technical excellence and building strong customer relationships.
• Reducing design cycle times and improving overall productivity for our customers.
• Contributing to the growth of Synopsys' technical community through knowledge sharing and mentoring.
• Influencing future product innovations by identifying emerging customer needs and market trends.

What You'll Need:

• Strong expertise in ASIC/FPGA design and verification methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with industry-leading EDA tools such as synthesis, simulation, and formal verification platforms.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL) and automation frameworks.
• Solid understanding of digital design, SoC architectures, and semiconductor manufacturing processes.
• Ability to analyze and resolve complex technical issues quickly and effectively.

Who You Are:

• Innovative thinker with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Excellent communicator, able to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Collaborative team player who values diversity and inclusion.
• Customer-oriented with a commitment to delivering outstanding service and solutions.
• Adaptable, resilient, and eager to learn new technologies and methodologies.

The Team You'll Be A Part Of:

You'll join an accomplished team of application engineering experts at the forefront of EDA and semiconductor innovation. Our team partners closely with customers, R&D, and product management to deliver world-class solutions and technical support. We foster a collaborative, inclusive culture that encourages continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. Together, we drive the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and ensure Synopsys remains the trusted partner for industry leaders worldwide.
