In short
Synopsys is seeking a Senior Applications Engineer to lead customer engagements for their Custom Implementation Platform. This role involves technical evaluations, deploying analog simulation flows, debugging issues, and providing customer support to enable successful chip tapeouts. Requires a Master's degree in EE/CS or Bachelor's with 2+ years experience, strong simulation and scripting skills, and excellent communication.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical evaluations and benchmarks for customers, demonstrating Synopsys Custom Implementation Platform on their actual design challenges with guidance from senior team members
- Deploy analog simulation flows including SPICE, FastSPICE, and mixed-signal simulation for customer design teams working on custom digital, analog, RF, and memory blocks
- Debug simulation convergence issues, performance bottlenecks, and methodology gaps in customer environments, escalating to senior engineers when you hit something outside your current expertise
- Demonstrate cloud-based analog design flows, showing customers how to run complete custom implementation workflows through cloud infrastructure
- Deliver technical training sessions and provide on-site support to customer design teams, helping them adopt best practices across schematic, layout, analog verification, and physical verification
- Document customer issues and enhancement requests, then work with senior engineers to communicate these effectively to R&D and product management
- Support pre-sales activities by partnering with sales teams to deliver methodology presentations and product demos during competitive evaluations
Requirements
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or Bachelor's degree in EE/CS with 2+ years of relevant experience as a circuit designer or CAD engineer
- Solid understanding of full custom and analog design flow including schematic capture, layout, analog verification, and physical verification
- Hands-on experience with analog or mixed-signal simulation, ideally using SPICE, FastSPICE, or similar tools in a production design environment
- Scripting skills in TCL, Perl, or Python to automate workflows, debug customer setups, and build deployment solutions
- Strong communication skills, you can explain a technical issue clearly to a designer and also summarize the business impact for their manager
- Willingness to travel for customer visits, training sessions, and on-site support as needed
Desired Qualifications
- You can look at a failing simulation and start narrowing down the problem systematically, checking netlist issues, model problems, and convergence settings without guessing randomly
- When a customer describes a problem, you ask clarifying questions to understand their specific setup before proposing solutions
- You are comfortable presenting technical content to a customer audience, even when you know they are evaluating both the product and your credibility
- You stay organized enough to manage multiple customer requests and internal tasks without losing track of commitments you made
- You know when to escalate to a senior engineer and when to dig in and figure something out yourself
- You treat customer issues like problems worth solving thoroughly, not tickets to close quickly, and you follow through until the solution actually works
Benefits
- Eligible for an annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses
- Comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits
- Competitive total rewards package
