Lead Aerospace Applications Engineer - STK & OTTK
Construction, Engineering & Trades · Civil & Industrial Engineering · Mechanical Engineering
In short
Synopsys is seeking a Lead Aerospace Applications Engineer to drive innovation in AI-powered products by bridging aerospace engineering and customer success. This role involves leading technical engagements, configuring solutions using Ansys DME software (STK, ODTK), and collaborating with customers and internal teams to solve complex mission challenges.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical engagements with aerospace and defence customers from discovery through deployment, understanding their mission workflows, engineering challenges, and business priorities, then translating those into solutions using Ansys DME software like STK and ODTK
- Work directly with customers to configure, deploy, and optimize Digital Mission Engineering solutions across their design and engineering workflows, ensuring the tools integrate into how they actually work
- Engage with Director and C-level stakeholders to articulate technical value propositions, demonstrate solution impact, and align our capabilities with their strategic initiatives
- Gather, document, and analyze metrics that prove the technical and business impact of your engagements, building the case for expanded adoption and long-term partnership
- Collaborate with product development teams to translate customer requirements and field feedback into actionable product roadmap input, ensuring future releases solve real customer problems
- Mentor junior application engineers on technical depth, customer engagement, and solution delivery, helping them grow into trusted advisors for their accounts
- Support field and digital marketing efforts by authoring technical papers, delivering conference presentations, and leading webinars on aerospace simulation and Digital Mission Engineering topics
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Aerospace, Astronautical, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, with 10+ years (BS), 6+ years (MS), or 3+ years (PhD) of professional experience
- Hands-on experience using Ansys DME software, specifically STK and ODTK, in real customer or engineering contexts, not just training environments
- Working knowledge of multiphysics simulation tools across structural, fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, or thermal domains, and how they integrate into aerospace workflows
- Proficiency in object-oriented programming with Python, MATLAB, C#, or Java, enough to script solutions, automate workflows, and support customer integrations
- Demonstrated understanding of aerospace engineering practices and product development lifecycles, with experience building and deploying simulation-based solutions into customer engineering workflows
- Track record of delivering measurable customer outcomes and contributing to revenue growth within the aerospace and defence industry
- Ability to travel up to 30% of the time for customer engagements, conferences, and team collaboration
Desired Qualifications
- You can walk into a room with a spacecraft systems engineer and a program manager, understand both perspectives, and walk out with a plan that satisfies both without overselling or underdelivering
- You are the engineer who does not wait for perfect requirements. You ask the right questions, clarify what matters, and move forward with enough information to deliver value
- You think in workflows, not features. When a customer describes a problem, you map their process, identify where the friction is, and build a solution that fits how they actually work
- You are a natural mentor. You see a junior engineer struggling with a technical concept or customer conversation, and you take the time to help them get better at it
- You stay current. Aerospace technology moves quickly, and you make time to learn new methods, tools, and domain knowledge so you remain credible and valuable to your customers
- You are organized enough to manage multiple complex engagements across regions and time zones without dropping threads or missing commitments
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings
